We often hear people say that in the age of AI you no longer need to be good at maths, you just need social skills. This analysis shows that’s wrong - you need both! Mathematics is becoming ever more important as the opportunities from new technology get bigger. And the greatest value sits with people who can not only “do” the maths, but explain it and collaborate. This is what pupils learn in Axiom Maths circles. Maths gives you the edge: not just because of what you know, but because of how you use it.
Counter to the prevailing view, soft skills more than quantitative competency have seen the biggest rewards in the labour market over recent years, writes John Burn-Murdoch. ft.trib.al/Kf3UYah

🍬Sweets come in packets of 12, 15 or 20. How many packets did you buy if you got exactly 86 sweets? How would you approach this problem? When pupils aren’t sure where to begin, some freeze, some guess, others start to reframe the problem. 👇In our first blog of 2026, we explore: why problem solving rests on deep organised knowledge, the behaviours pupils need to tackle challenging problems and how teachers can nurture a culture of confident mathematical thinking.

❄️ December in schools can be tough: dark days, tired minds, and the pressure to “lighten” maths with games. But why do we save the fun for the final week? And what does that say about maths the rest of the year? Our latest blog explores how joy + rigour can (and should!) coexist. ✨ Read the blog: axiommaths.com/blog/why-fun-…

🌀 With almost 1800 pupils at Billericay school, recruiting a ‘normal’ maths circle of 10 or less could’ve been a real puzzler. As a solution, Mentor Mr Ivanovas invited sixth formers to become Junior Mentors and support the 21 interested pupils. Pupils learn to "never give up" and tackle problems step-by-step. A room full of energy, noise, and inspiration!🧩 You can read the full case study on our website. #KS3Maths
