Begoña visited two primary schools in London in January and March 2025 to deliver her My Maths Story assembly and support Maths in the Real World class sessions, talking to the children about how they use maths in their jobs and hobbies and encouraging the children to think about how they use maths every day.
Feedback from both sessions was really positive.
Gemma Green, Maths Teacher, Garfield Primary School, said: "Begoña was an excellent volunteer and ran a very engaging assembly. The class session activities were interesting and the children enjoyed them."
A pupil said: "Thank you for a really inspiring workshop, I really enjoyed learning about different job roles and I realise how important maths is in everyday life!"
Begoña enjoyed the experience saying: "The assembly was excellent with lots of questions. The children were really well behaved and engaged."
