A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO MATHS

KS2 pupils at St Lawrence Primary School in Effingham were challenged to find new ways of problem-solving when they participated in a Fun Maths workshop. Using this novel way to cover a wide range of maths concepts, the children had the chance to test existing knowledge and learn new skills. These incorporated Thinking, Talking and Reasoning, as well as Team-Working. The teachers noted that the children were deploying different strategies to solve problems and that teamwork was essential. As one pupil commented: “It was good to work in partners because some people have different abilities.”
