TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Common factors, common multiples and prime numbers puzzles
How do maths puzzles help children learn mathematical concepts?
Maths puzzles can be highly effective tools for helping children learn mathematical concepts in several ways:
- Problem-solving skills: Maths puzzles present children with problems that require logical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve.
- Critical thinking
Puzzles often require children to think critically and consider multiple approaches to find a solution.
- Conceptual understanding
Puzzles can help reinforce and deepen children's understanding of mathematical concepts by presenting them in different contexts. For example, a puzzle involving shapes can help children understand geometry concepts such as symmetry, angles, and spatial relationships.
- Motivation and engagement
Puzzles are inherently engaging and can motivate children to learn by providing a fun and interactive way to explore mathematical concepts. Children are more likely to be motivated to solve puzzles than to engage in rote memorisation or drills.
- Real-world application
Many maths puzzles are based on real-world scenarios or problems, which helps children see the practical applications of mathematical concepts.
