The Maths Factor is retiring

Pearson is evolving its digital learning offer to focus on the next generation of assessment and learning tools for every learner. As part of this work, we've made the difficult decision to close The Maths Factor.

We're very proud of the impact The Maths Factor has had — helping over 800,000 children build confidence in maths, including during Covid lockdowns.

Message from Carol

"I couldn’t be more proud of the Maths Factor team and how hard we’ve all worked to bring our brilliant online Maths school to over 800,000 young students. But most of all I’m proud of the children and young people who’ve watched my teaching videos, answered all the questions and learned their maths thoroughly with us for years.

In the first Covid lockdown we opened our doors free to almost 500,000 children to help them and their parents through those difficult educational times. To all of you, and all of you who stop me in the street, or write in to say what a difference the Maths Factor has made to your lives, thank you for giving me the greatest gift which is to know how much of a difference we have made, and to so many. THANK YOU."
