Summary

Penguin longs to be as close to the stars as possible, so he decides to make the long journey up the Scrapheap Mountain. Will he make it to the top?

At Maths Circle, our core purpose is to make children feel confident with maths.

In Penguin and the Mountain, Penguin perseveres through a long and difficult journey to achieve his goal. This story encourages children to approach problems and obstacles with a proactive mindset and that when setting long-term objectives, it is easier to break them down into manageable steps, and work towards them over time.

We've created these audio stories and accompanying activities, all centred around the theme of growth mindset and resilience, to inspire confidence not just in maths, but in all areas of development. You can download the accompanying activities at numbots.com/audio-stories.

NumBots is an award-winning maths learning platform that helps children achieve the 'triple win' of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction.
