Series 4 of Maths Appeal is brought to you in partnership with Pearson, and these monthly episodes are targeted at fellow maths teachers, heads of department, school leaders and maths influencers, with the aim of building a community of maths educators.

Every episode will be driven by a specific topic centred in maths education, and Bobby and Susan will welcome a special guest to join the discussion.

There’s also a maths problem, taken from a Pearson past exam paper, with tips and steers about how to solve it and how to teach it in the classroom.

Plus, no episode of Maths Appeal would be complete without a Maths Fact courtesy of Bobby!

This September episode is all about the new academic year. What’s your mindset? What are you apprehensive about and what are you looking forward to? How do you prepare for the return to school?

Bobby and Susan welcome the secondary maths teacher, content creator, entrepreneur and powerlifter Faze to the podcast, to find out how his experiences beyond the classroom shape his approach to teaching and engaging students.
