In 2017 we introduced our range of masterclasses – these range from Problem-Solving days to Bar Modelling days to Numicon days to Maths puzzle days (including Kenken etc.) to detective whodunnit days to Shape Puzzle days – if it’s in the curriculum, we can run a day on it! All our facilitators have DBS certificates of course, and are experienced teachers in their own right. We do not employ inexperienced people just to save money.
We also run “Faster Grasper Days’ these are for children who seem to get mathematical concepts faster than their peers, and who may have been labelled as ‘gifted’ or ‘talented’. This allows them to go deeper and try out some maths that they might not have seen before.
NEW FOR 2023: ON TARGET DAYS. For a few years now I have been running ‘Able Maths Days’ for a company called Authors Abroad. I won’t lie – I really enjoy them. Typically one school hosts, in exchange for four free places, and 3 or 4 other nearby schools send groups of 4 children and an adult each for a day of exciting and challenging maths activities with yours truly. What’s not to love? But recently I’ve been thinking that perhaps I could do more good with children who do not find maths so easy, perhaps because they are disadvantaged in a way that might prevent them from reaching their potential in maths. I’m not talking about children who are just struggling in maths; I’m really keen to target those children whose lives are more complicated than others, and who might just need a leg up.
