A story about the value of independent learning. - Tractor and the Tyre

Whenever Tractor bursts a tyre, Rusty is always on-hand to fix it. But when Tractor's tyre bursts in the creepiest part of the Scrapheap, he's faced with fixing his tyre all by himself. At Maths Circle, our core purpose is to make children feel confident with maths. Tractor and the Tyre highlights the importance of independent learning. When children master a skill or concept without help, it can be incredibly confidence-boosting and empowering, showing them the remarkable strength of their own abilities. 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.
