10 Ways into Using Creative Approaches in Maths  - date to be announced soon!

Jackson Kavanagh, Actor, Director, Theatre Practitioner

Looking for some new, creative ways of engaging your pupils in maths? Our creative approaches will do just that – setting the climate and context from the outset. And as they’re all absolutely transferable you’ll be able to apply them to any area of the maths curriculum! Led by Jackson Kavanagh – who, in the last two years alone, has delivered creative maths workshops for over 10,000 children and young people both nationally and internationally. 

“It was great to see how easily the ideas could be adapted and injected into all maths teaching. Most ‘maths’ courses are boring – but this one definitely wasn’t!” (KS3 Maths Leader, St Cuthbert’s Business and Enterprise College, St Helens)

Led by Kate Pankhurst – author and illustrator of the acclaimed “Mariella Mystery” series of books!

"Some great ideas to adapt and use in school that the children will really enjoy. Will include some of these ideas in art club and as part of literacy lessons to encourage story telling." (Participant on a previous Illustrated Stories workshop)
