Each session runs for roughly 45 minutes, we recommend you leave 10 minutes before the session for set up.

Each session starts with a warm up, where students practice key concepts such as times tables. This is followed by two activities using topic based question cards, and ending with mindfulness. All of our warm ups and activities are led by the Numberfit facilitator over your screen and are physically active and fun.
