About the show

A groundbreaking podcast for curious kids aged 4-12 that proves maths is anything but dull.Join our fictional AI hosts Mira, a brilliant 9-year-old, and her younger brother Finn, age 7, as they set off on a journey into one great mathematical idea each episode. From numbers that never end and shapes with only one side to the strange rules of chance and the secret patterns in a snowflake, each episode uncovers an idea that is simple at its heart and extraordinary because it is everywhere - told in a way that actually makes sense to kids.Nobody does sums here. Whether you're discovering why infinity comes in different sizes, how a shuffled pack of cards is almost certainly in an order no one has ever seen, why honeycombs are made of hexagons, where the number zero came from, or what makes a prime number special - Maths is Not Boring turns big ideas into stories that ignite curiosity and wonder, and gives kids one more clue to how the world works.Because maths isn't a list of rules to learn. It's the most beautiful way anyone has ever found of seeing the world. A note on why we use AI. For us, AI allows us to deliver learning at a scale and quality that previously would have been too expensive. If we make the odd technical error, or the sound goes a bit funny, bear with us, we’re trying our best. We hope you enjoy the show!
