A different approach to mathematics in school
Mathematics is not just about formulas to memorize, but rather involves a preliminary process, filled with uncertainties, doubts, and discoveries. It is in this quest, where imagination and logic converse, that understanding emerges.
Like in a tale, we progress step by step, we explore, get lost, start again, and slowly, through persistence, we find our way and reach new understanding.
In Myths & Maths, each student is invited to develop their creative thinking, mental agility and mathematical skills through a sensitive and imaginative approach.
Our approach
in 3 keys

Create mental representations that are essential for abstraction work, based on sensitive experience.

Research
The student is like the hero of a fairy tale, searching for a solution by taking the necessary time and accepting uncertainty.
Telling
to count better !
Demystifying Math
Change preconceived ideas about mathematics, wich all too often make it an intimidating and abstract discipline.
How ?
Promote intuition, enjoyment, and curiosity to help students progress and reduce inequalities.
Connect mathematics to thought and language, starting in early grades.
Tales prepare the mind for the adventures of mathematics
…they familiarize students with logical relationships, reasoning by contradiction, numeration, orders of magnitude and many other concepts and skills…
…and develop their ability to construct mental images, essential for abstract mathematical thinking
Math is agame for the imaginaition, designed to change the way we perceive the world
