Maths For Life is a structured, inclusive programme designed for students of any age who cannot access a standard national curriculum maths pathway. Founded by Karen McGuigan, a chemical engineer turned education consultant, the programme prioritises practical maths skills needed for everyday life. Members access a comprehensive resource library, baseline assessments, progress tracking tools, and a private community forum. Educators, parents, teaching assistants, and SENCOs can participate in regular live Q&A sessions hosted by Karen.
