From Autumn 2012
Making Sense of Maths is being used in schools all around the UK, read below some of the amazing feedback we’ve had from both teachers and their students.
What the teachers said
“Recently an OFSTED inspector watched my lesson and commented on the fact that pupils felt safe and not afraid to make mistakes. The lesson was graded as Outstanding.”
Michele, Head of Maths, recently promoted to Assistant Head, The Kingsway School
"I now think I better understand how children really learn maths, and what I need to do to support them."
Anna, Head of Maths, Blessed Thomas Holford Catholic High School
What the students said
"I found it much more involving this year and I have felt I've learnt a lot more about fractions."
"It has got harder but we concentrate more about the method, rather than the question, so I have definitley improved."
"It helps me understand maths that I wouldn't understand in normal textbooks."
