We offer the Numberleague in batches of 6 sessions, each session can then be scheduled at a convenient date and time.

Sessions are run during school hours and you can select from a variety of options. Once you have signed up you will be able to book the times most convenient for you.

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.

You can participate in the Numberleague using a SMARTboard or projector found in most classrooms, all other equipment is provided as part of your package.
