A new Hawke's Bay company offering mobile maths mentoring to students wants to improve achievement levels in the subject among students while making it "fun and engaging".
The Maths Truck was launched on Monday and was established by businessman and tutor Andrew Baker, who aims to make maths "engaging, fun and easily accessible" to young children and families.
He said he was inspired by celebrity chef Michael Van de Elzen's Food Truck.
"I want to form a partnership with schools around Hawke's Bay, I'm meeting with principals at the moment and already have Te Mata School signed up, where I'll park the truck on the school grounds and kids will come out for extra maths tuition."
He said children in New Zealand are doing particularly poorly in the subject when compared to other developed countries. "There is not enough funding going into education and the class sizes are just too big.
