For some of us maths is not our favourite subject, we don’t find Compare Bears and plastic sorting sets particularly motivational! In this workshop Rob, will look at innovative tools for making learning Maths stimulating and achievable for children and young people, improving numeracy in and outside of the classroom. With examples of games, puzzles, curiosities and mathematical “magic”, these workshops are about enriching teachers’ own view of maths, as well as offering numerous ideas that can be transferred straight to the classroom. Rob will also address some strategies for getting parents on board, including tips on maths activities that parents can incorporate into their busy lives.
