Brian O’Driscoll Shows Off Genius Hack For Homeschooling Maths
Brian O’Driscoll is just like any other dad these days — he too has to try and come up with creative ways to get his kids to do some school work at home.
Parents around the country are adapting to homeschooling once more and the rugby hero has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Brian shared on his Instagram today that the subject of choice was maths and he was trying to teach fractions.
Clearly he needed a physical aid to do that and what better way to give your child incentive to pay attention than using sweets.

Not just any old sweets though, Dolly Mixtures.
Brian shared a photo of the workbook and his maths aides to his story and wrote: ‘Fractions O’Driscoll-style homeschooling.’
He also added ‘#AllAboutIncentivising’ to the pic.
It’s been a busy few weeks for Brian and wife Amy Huberman as they welcomed their third child Teddy just before Christmas.
The couple already share Sadie, seven, and Billy, six, and Amy recently told her social media followers that she needed to apologise to her ‘students’ for being late and her loud assistant.
She wrote: ‘This teacher would like to apologise to her students for turning up late, in pjs, with a tiny v loud assistant in tow* and failing herself to be able to actually add two and two together. *the baby. Not the husband. Just to be clear.’
