The Rocky Road of Maths

The teaching of maths should be age appropriate, systematic, and engaging: everything that the current teaching of maths in England is not. . . .
There is vast international expertise about how to teach mathematics to young children to achieve the best results. The most effective way to improve the teaching of maths in England is to look at this expertise seriously.

Does your intelligent and creative child struggle with maths?

Children often miscalculate when bored or under pressure. I would not call such mistakes serious. Serious mistakes take place when children do not understand the meaning of mathematical operations and get confused when a standard problem is slightly modified. Such mistakes are signs of misconceptions. They require diagnostics and corrections as soon as possible.

Giddy Goat Gives Santa a Hand

Christmas comes but once a year, which is lucky because it’s normally a manic whirlwind of buying, wrapping, baking, decorating and excessive festive fun. I adore Christmas, but I hate being buffeted about in big shops and queuing for hours at the till. I love small, independent shops like Giddy Goat Toys in Didsbury. .
