Liverpool School Crowdfunds To ‘Revolutionise’ Maths

St Francis Xavier’s College in Woolton have so far brought up more than £1,500 in a bid to help alter the way students study the present curriculum.

Instructor Kenny Glover started the venture on crowdfunding platform Rocket Fund, which supports schools to integrate the most recent innocation into lessons.

More than 80 contributors have sponsored the bid to put Hegarty Maths into the educational programs for every one of the 1,094 students. Funders include former students, parents, staff members, and governors.

Hegarty Maths was started by maths educator Colin Hegarty in 2011, where he would make YouTube recordings to help his students to fully comprehend his lessons.

The technique has been restructured since its commencement to allow students and educators access lessons, assessments and exercises in and out of the teaching space.

Presently 5,000 kids every day in 200 diverse places worldwide use the programme.

The website lets students to access ten-minute lessons for every subject on the educational modules, ending with a series of queries at the end to be accomplished.

Students can give comments for their instructor to reply to, helping the student to understand the subject they are learning.

Glover believes the programme will help everybody as it enables the instructor to track how long students spends on a subject and how they answer a question.

Glover stated that they are continuously seeking approaches to source the finest resources for their students who deserve only the best.

“Hegarty Maths promotes independent learning and enables pupils to regularly communicate with their teachers as well as providing an at home ‘personal tutor’. This pioneering online maths tool shows how technology can be used for good in the classroom. We can’t wait to roll it out across the whole school in September,” Glover furthered.

The executive headteacher of St Francis Xavier’s College, Les Rippon said that the Maths department in SFX is continually endeavoring to make web-based learning and support a key element for the development of students in the school.

“At a time when school budgets are under pressure, it’s reassuring to know we can rely on our school community to invest and support in new learning tools at SFX.”
