So I wanted to chat to Veronica about that so that anyone listening can have a think about how they want their child to learn maths if they want their child to learn maths in any kind of formal way might they want it one-to-one might they want it group learning so first of all Veronica tell us a little bit about you and your home education journey and then we can talk about the benefits of group learning for maths and the disadvantages

well hello Eleanor Nice to be here again.

And yeah, so you're asking straight the best questions.

Because it's good to start with how it all works, why it all works, right? Before we do something, it's good to know why.

And as you said, I shipped it from... basically working with students one-to-one to go into groups and how I get around the home education and so on.

So because I've been on your podcast a few times already, I don't want to necessarily repeat myself.

So I just try to only touch these points at the moment and keep it short.

But overall, what are the benefits of group learning for maths and what are the disadvantages of group learning for maths? And then I guess my second question is, does it matter what age the child is? Is group learning particularly good for young children? Is it particularly good for older children or particularly good for different parts of maths at different stages? So first of all, what are the overall advantages and disadvantages? And then what about the different ages?
