Children Who Are Strong in Maths by Age 10 Go on to Earn Significantly More as Adults — Give Your Child a Strong Maths Foundation Before It’s Too Late!
As parents, we all want our children to succeed. It’s easy to think they’re “doing fine” when they pass a test in primary school, but passing one test doesn’t mean the knowledge has truly stuck. Check again a week later — or six months later — and the reality is often very different. By the time children reach GCSE maths at age 16, over 40% fail, showing they never fully understood crucial concepts in the first place.
This matters. Research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), who advise the UK government, shows that children who are strong in maths by age 10 go on to earn significantly more as adults. Yet nearly half of children in the UK struggle with maths, and for those who find it difficult early on, there has historically been no effective solution.
Schools do their best, but traditional teaching doesn’t work for over 40% of children — especially those who find numbers, times tables, or fractions tricky to grasp. That’s where Fables World comes in. Independently tested by the University of Chichester, it has been proven to help children who struggle with conventional methods, building confidence and lasting understanding in a fun, engaging way.
A study by Ella Skegg at the University of Chichester found that children who accessed Fables World as a daily intervention made almost 32% more progress than the control group — and the more they used the programme, the more they improved.
“Fables World provides children with a memory peg for the quick recall of number facts.”
Early maths is about more than passing tests; it’s about giving your child the skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive for life. Don’t let gaps in understanding today limit their potential tomorrow. A strong foundation in primary school maths isn’t just about grades — it can shape their earnings, career options, and belief in their own abilities for decades to come.
