School Testimonials
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to Jackson for his input and amazing workshops. There was a great buzz around the school and the children thoroughly enjoyed it! They said they wish they could do Maths like that everyday. Jackson’s energy really brought the theme of Wild Maths to life. So much so, that a teacher thought the nature programme was really going to be on TV.”
“One of the best STEM Events that I have ever booked. The students found the workshops extremely interesting, engaging and fun. One pupil asked, “Miss, can we do this every Thursday?”
“It was by far our most popular event during maths week. The students enjoyed the competitiveness of the trading game, it was great for their group and negotiating skills. The delivery and hosting of the activity was superb!”
“The maths staff were unanimously of the opinion that this was one of the best maths workshops we have had.Jackson was an excellent presenter…his enthusiasm for maths was infectious and I particularly liked his emphasis on looking at the wider benefits of developing maths skills. i.e. identifying patterns, seeing that maths isn’t just numbers, problem-solving. We will definitely look to be using you again in future.”
“The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the day. Although this isn’t the first time Springwell has used your services, it is personally my first experience and I can see why the staff have been so complementary. I really look forward to working with you again in the near future and will be sure to pass on my recommendation”
“Thank you so much for delivering the Murderous Maths Workshop with such energy and enthusiasm – it was infectious. It was lovely to see some of our most challenging young people getting so much out of the experience!”
National Curriculum Keystones
All of our Primary maths workshops have been carefully designed to both put into context and actively promote the three keystones of the National Curriculum: fluency, reasoning and problem solving.
Tapping into pupils’ own creativity, our unashamedly fun workshops engage, motivate and, crucially, challenge the children and young people we work with.
Rooted in drama and storytelling
Our maths activity days offer opportunities to practise skills with numbers, shapes and concepts in exciting, imaginative and interactive ways. All are differentiated for age – while some also offer the possibility of differentiating for ability within a single class.
And all, of course, offer you and your colleagues the chance to experience some exciting new methodologies that can immediately and easily be adapted to other contexts.
