NumBots Scrapheap Stories - A story about taking risks and overcoming fears., Unicorn and the Big Race

The biggest race in the scrapheap is taking place and Unicorn wants to do the best she can... but with strong competition, she needs to find a way to prepare...

At Maths Circle, our core purpose is to make children feel confident with maths.

Unicorn and the Big Race is a story that shows the importance of practising little and often. By improving skills with small amounts of regular practice, children's confidence in their own ability increases.

We've created these audio stories and accompanying activities, all centred around the theme of growth mindset and resilience, to inspire confidence not just in maths, but in all areas of development. You can access the activities in the Downloads section on the NumBots website.

NumBots is an award-winning maths learning platform that helps children achieve the 'triple win' of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction.
