'I'm feeling so positive about maths in my classroom thanks to you Karen!!
Our head teacher observed a maths lesson in my reception class yesterday and he couldn’t believe the links children were making.'
Emily Parker, Teacher
Teaching that fails to engage doesn't just impact your children's success.
-
How do you feel when the endless hours and energy that you put in to planning your Maths provision DON'T result in learning that actually 'stays in’?
-
Are you drowning in Powerpoint slides and workbooks that are actually turning your children OFF Maths?
-
What impact is rigidly sticking to a Maths scheme, or searching blindly for ideas on the internet, having on your passion for teaching Maths?
‘Fair to say that the impact of Karen’s training has been huge.
As well as improving my own practice and turning me into a subitising evangelist, the feedback from schools across the borough has been incredibly positive- hearing first hand testimony of the impact on the depth of the children’s understanding’

Early Years Leader, Bedfordshire
'I guarantee to make a difference to the way you feel about and teach Maths from the very FIRST day we work together.'
Karen Wilding
Founder and CEO at EYMaths
Hi there, I'm Karen Wilding
Director of EYMaths, conference speaker and published author
Becoming a Maths consultant was NEVER on my radar...
I began life as: A 'Maths hater' and total 'Maths failure' (I sat my Maths exams at 16 years old twice and only just scrape a pass)
But later became: A teacher, senior leader, local authority Maths adviser and curriculum writer, trainer and finally director of two highly successful International Maths consultancy and training companies.
So what changed?
It turns that the problem was simple. It wasn't Maths and it wasn't me; it was simply the way I'd been taught.
When I changed what I knew, everything else changed for me.
I've now worked alongside some of the biggest names in Early Years, supported thousands of educators across the world and published a book with Penguin/Dorling Kindersley (and have another with Sage coming out in Spring 2027).
I created EYMaths so you can build your personal 'Maths Tool Box' of skills, knowledge and confidence meaning your children benefit from the very first day we work together.
Examples of Professional Collaborations

'Karen's training made perfect sense. It was very accessible, very practical and we could immediately see the impact that it had on the children.'

Who are you and how can we help?
A Teacher of 3-5 Year Olds
You're working as hard as you can, with the tools you have, but you're not getting the results you want
Let's find out why.
Great Maths teaching starts and ends with the educator's knowledge. No amount of PowerPoint slides, workbooks and thoughtfully laid-out activities can teach Maths, only you can do that.
Engaged, excited children who are making great progress are the product of high-quality interactions and evolving provision that leaves them wanting to apply their skills EVERYWHERE!
At EYMaths we give you the skills and knowledge you need to teach with confidence and impact everyday.
A School Team, Local Authority or Academy Trust
To improve standards, does it make sense to invest in just ONE team member?
Too many schools are mistaking 'consistency' for 'everyone doing the same thing'.
Your teachers are your greatest asset and need so much more than a 'recipe book' (maths scheme and online activities) to bring about lasting impact.
To achieve consistency and build fluency for all children, your whole team needs the right level of Maths subject knowledge and pedagogical skill.
This is what we give EVERY member of your staff when you invest with EYMaths.
A Pre-School Practitioner, Childminder or Parent
You don't have to be in a school to be an educator.
If you're a parent, pre-school practitioner or child-minders, you ARE a child's FIRST educator.
That means you play a vitally important role in giving your children the very best start in life.
If you're passionate about making maths a hands-on, fun part of your children's daily life, then we're here to give you all the tools you need to do exactly this.

'Personally Maths was my hardest subject at school and I believed I was fundamentally 'not good' at maths. Your training is opening my eyes, challenging me and teaching me so much about maths - and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you!'

'A beautifully illustrated book that makes maths really accessible for kids and adults. I found the real world examples really helped to simplify maths in a way that most books just don't do. Couldn't recommend it enough.'

NEW for 2027!
'Essential Foundations of Early Maths' Published by Sage
I was approached by the highly successful publisher Sage in Summer 2025, and asked to write an accompanying guide to the best-selling book by Derek Haylock 'Mathematics Explained for Primary Teachers'.
Covering all areas of Mathematics, this book is aimed at anyone seeking to ensure every child experiences the genuine joy of learning Maths and receives the vital foundations for later mathematical success.
