Maths is a language that has its own unique set of symbols and vocabulary. As with every language, these abstract symbols and words have absolutely no inherent meaning. To teach to understanding (rather than rote memorisation of unrelated facts and formulae), we need to credit meaning to them. Come and find out how building color-consistent rectangles and a simple sequence of instruction at every stage enables  a student to confidently encode and decode from pre-school/ reception to high school.

Learn how to use (just two) hands-on manipulatives to teach different topics in a way that improves student engagement and helps them actually understand maths, from addition and subtraction to fractions and algebra. Based on research that recommends the same manipulative be used for a minimum of three years, you'll see how to completely revolutionise maths and a students confidence when you concretely represent it with accurate and elegant tools.

We're not just going to tell you about multi-sensory maths tools. We're going to get stuck into practical examples. You'll also see the evidence and research behind our teaching techniques we're showing you and how you can apply this in your teaching right away.
