The Creators
James Summerfield teaches a variety of subjects at a Special Education School in the West Midlands, UK. As well as being one of the finest teachers to ever grace our planet, James is a highly talented musician – he can play the guitar, piano, drums, cello, and kazoo. He also has a fine beard.
Sam Kordan teaches maths at a High School in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. He has had various roles such as Specialist Leader in Education (Maths) in the UK, Numeracy Specialist for the Cayman Islands Government and Across Schools Teacher in New Zealand. Sam plays the bass guitar to an average standard and has somehow managed to produce an album with his band 'Sammy and the Fam'. He can’t grow a beard.
In 2013, James and Sam began creating maths songs. Their first song, ‘Multiply by 2 and 4’, was an instant ‘hit’ and the children they taught suddenly became more interested in learning maths. The dynamic duo have since made many more songs, launched a Youtube channel and have developed an adventure story all with the aim of making maths more enjoyable for all. We hope you enjoy our work - long live Planet Numberth!
