Filippo delivered his My Maths Story assembly and supported the Maths in the Real World class session at St Paul’s Whitechapel Primary on National Numeracy Day in May and enjoyed it so much he volunteered to visit Cayley Primary School in July too.
Rebecca Foster, teacher at St Paul’s Whitechapel CE Primary School said:
"Filippo delivered the assembly with professionalism and enthusiasm and he interacted well with pupils who asked questions. The assembly was engaging and used information, questioning and videos well. It was well delivered and the pupils got a lot out of it. The classroom session lesson plan was very straightforward and well organised. Year 5 had a great discussion about stereotypes in the workforce and how maths is linked to everybody in everyday life."
Filippo said, “The session was fantastic, very interactive and enjoyable, seeing the students sitting before me gave me a profound sense of accomplishment”.
