Welcome to Fixit Maths — This is the website for teachers, teaching assistants, home schoolers, parents, tutors and anyone else involved in supporting maths learning.
However maths is taught, mistakes and misunderstandings will occur. An awareness of the mistakes which are commonly made, and the reasons for them, can enhance teaching and enable the immediate provision of targeted support.
The aim of Fixit Maths is to provide a growing range of maths resources designed to help identify and understand these common mistakes, and to reinforce and practise correct mathematical thinking.
