Primary students and teachers throughout the country can now access this highly interactive digital learning solution — the first of its kind in Ireland.

Used in conjunction with CJ Fallon’s popular Mathemagic textbook series, Destination Maths forms a new and unique blended learning solution tailored specifically to the Irish primary math curriculum.Speaking at the launch, Niall Maloney, Vice President of Strategic Alliances and Partnerships for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt International Publishers, said, “As one of our most popular products, Destination Maths has demonstrated its effectiveness in classrooms all over the world. We are delighted to partner with CJ Fallon to introduce this customized version to Ireland — the home of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s innovation headquarters. “The combination of CJ Fallon’s unparalleled knowledge of primary maths in Ireland and HMH’s expertise in product development and localization has created a highly engaging learning solution tailor-made for the Irish curriculum.”In an increasingly competitive world that rewards ideas, analysis and innovation, a strong understanding of mathematics is vital. Brian Gilsenan, CEO of CJ Fallon Publishers, added, “It is a key objective of the Irish government to engage and interest young people more in maths and science subjects. It is therefore so important that maths is presented as a visual, interactive concept to young people from an early age. Destination Maths does just that. The program brings mathematics to life for children and helps them develop fluency in critical skills, maths reasoning, conceptual understanding and problem solving, all through a fun and creative format.”For more information about Destination Maths, visit http://hmlt.hmco.com or www.cjfallon.ie.
