Jenni Stather is an ethnic minorities achievement co-ordinator at Shaftesbury Primary in Newham. Having organised a knitting workshop she soon discovered that many children with English as an additional language come from traditions in which knitting, and other handicrafts, are commonly practised. Seeing their enthusiasm for the craft, Jenni decided to try to use it as a tool to teach maths.
