Connemara Maths Academy are running a very exciting course this summer – it’s a bit like going to the Gaeltacht, but instead of improving your Irish, you get yourself fluent in Maths!
So how does this work? Do you go sit on a rock in Clifden and do lots of hard sums? Not quite!
I was invited on to Tipp FM to discuss the exam paper error seen in Leaving Cert Higher Paper2
Thanks to Seamus, Tom and the team for having me on the show, I enjoyed chatting about ‘The Bermuda Triangle’ as they’re calling it in Tipperary!
Here’s our top tips that will save you a lot of marks and could even save your grade:
1. Be careful with minus signs – the single most common source of error.
2. Don’t try to do too much in one step – break it down into smaller steps.
We’re thrilled to work with the Navy to help some of their people attain their Leaving Cert in order to progress in their careers!
Eamonn took part in the Project Maths debate on Joe Duffy’s Liveline last week.
There was a lot of negativity about Project Maths, so Eamonn went on air to challenge the critics to do something positive to help Irish students, especially those with exams coming up in June.
The Irish Independent ran an article recently about the growth in online learning support in Ireland. It was nice for themathstutor.ie to be mentioned as one of the main websites in this area.
We’ve been contacted by a few national journalists recently, so look out for more coverage of our system in the newspapers soon!
Judges, Mentors, Students and Teachers
I was delighted to be asked to judge the North Mayo Regional Final of the Student Enterprise Awards last week.
There were 9 finalists from 4 local schools, and first prize went to a team from St Muredach’s, Ballina, with a very interesting (and tasty!) food product for allergy sufferers!
