Our Maths Courses

Thank you another thought provoking session today. Your sessions have made such an impact in my classroom. The children talk enthusiastically about maths and clearly enjoy using the environment to promote mathematical thinking. (Primary teacher, Suffolk primary and middle school partnership)

The influence of our work in mathematics is increasingly recognised. We are best known for helping schools to develop the use of innovative and engaging approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. Unless indicated, the course will be led by Stuart Naylor. He has worked in and with schools for many years, and is actively involved in current initiatives and curriculum innovation, meaning that the courses will always be professionally relevant, engaging and inspirational. The following courses are available to any organisation or group, in the UK or beyond. The course description indicates the age appropriateness of each course. Mathematics Specialist Colleges should get in touch to discuss the special arrangements we have to support your work.
