Welcome to the world of the FUNS Method!
We believe learning math can be more than just numbers—it can be a magical journey filled with creativity, stories, and fun!
The FUNS Method introduces multiplication through a vibrant world called TT Forest Adventure, where numbers come alive as unique animal characters. Each animal embodies its number through its shape, behavior, and adventures. Instead of traditional memorization, children discover multiplication through playful storytelling, visual associations, and interactive experiences. Whether it’s Sixby the Deer, who loves the number 6 or gets help from his six antlers for counting in multiples of 6, or Eighton the Spider, spinning an eight-sided web, every character helps children grasp mathematical patterns in a natural and exciting way. They are all on a quest to collect their badges for the grand TT party, where each adventure brings them closer to mastering multiplication.
"The Story Behind FUNS"
Our Founder’s Journey
My name is Masoumeh Mahdieh, a mother of three children and a university lecturer with a deep love for mathematics. I hold a Ph.D. in Operations Research, along with MSc and BSc degrees in Industrial Engineering. For years, I taught mathematics and operations management to university students, always striving to simplify even the most complex mathematical concepts for engineering students.
When my family relocated to the UK, I faced a new challenge—helping my youngest child learn times tables. Traditional rote memorization methods felt frustrating and ineffective, and I began searching for a better way.
That’s when inspiration struck:
What if multiplication could be taught through engaging stories?
I quickly realized that storytelling could make numbers more meaningful. By weaving multiplication into adventures, I saw how frustration turned into excitement and how a challenging subject could become a source of joy. That moment sparked the creation of TT Forest Adventure and the development of the FUNS Method—a way to transform the stress of learning times tables into a magical experience.
Today, FUNS is more than just a learning method; it’s a movement to help children everywhere fall in love with math through storytelling, creativity, and fun!
