Amazing Maths Across the School!
Wed 08 Jan 2025Right across the school, from our youngest children to our older children, everyone is diving in to our new ways of working in Maths. Did you know that all of our Maths lessons now start with a problem - something tricky for everyone to discuss, experiment with and have a go at solving. This is a great way to get everyone involved in the Maths learning for the day and help the children to see that testing problems out, using everybody’s ideas, is a great way to learn.
