number fun
There is a significant body of research demonstrating that music and song aid
learning. Allen & Wood (2012) state that for teachers, music is, ‘one of the
most powerful teaching tools at their disposal’. Dave Godfrey, the founder of
Number Fun, completed his master’s dissertation on the use of songs as a
powerful tool for teaching and learning mathematics across the primary
age-range. The Number Fun videos combine songs with other powerful tools like
visualisation, animation, story and humour.
