Maths - No Problem
We don't just teach maths — we empower every child to think!
Each morning, the children arrive to their "Maths Arithmetich Morning Challenge" which encourages them to refine their written methods of calcuation. Following this our "Maths No Problems" session follows the sequence described below:
Explore task
During our Maths lessons, we begin with an engaging, real-world, problem-solving task where learners work in pairs or small groups with concrete materials. Expect a collaborative and talkative environment.
Structured discussion
A teacher-led discussion focused on collaboration, where pupils share their findings to the class and the teacher resolves any misconceptions that arise.
Practice
Learners work through guided and then independent practice. Designed with variation in mind, pupils develop a deeper understanding of the topic as they work through.
