Description:

Some think there's two types of people: numbers people, and the rest. But is that true?

Comedian, author and maths geek Adam Spencer join Holly and Andrew to talk about why some kids struggle with maths, and how you as a parent can change that. Through his book Maths 101, he explains how to put the 'fun' into 'fundamentals' of maths.

Plus, we answer a listener dilemma from a parent who has just been told their child is 'gifted'.
