Premier League Primary Stars Maths is available in LCFC Community Trust’s partner primary schools from this month.Ĭommunity Director Allison Tripney said: “We think it’s really important to show the link between football and academic subjects. This event is about showing children that maths has a real everyday practical use and can be fun at the same time.”
If you think about kids playing online, they’re all looking at statistics to pick their favourite players, they’re looking at pie charts, they’re looking at heat maps, at how many runs a player has made, how many goals a team has scored and how many points teams have in the table. Speaking to LCFC TV, Rachel said: “Football is a brilliant maths material to promote numeracy. The visit concluded in The Gallery, where a short Q&A session was held with each of the special guests - and Riley hosted a game of Countdown. You need it in everyday life, so it’s important to concentrate and make sure that you do your best in it.”
Speaking to LCFC TV, Marc Albrighton said: “If I could’ve done this when I was a kid, come to a football stadium and learn maths, then I probably would’ve come out with better grades! It’s an important life skill, it’s a main subject that you need to know about.
