About Andrew
Andrew has taught for over 20 years in both primary and secondary settings, and written several books for teachers to support the teaching and learning of mathematics.
He was one of the authors of the Numicon programme, and regularly works with publishers and independently to produce exciting resources.
Andrew’s AIM High Maths Days
Andrew’s motto is ‘Maths for Kicks, not just for ticks!”. Children who find maths lessons easy are usually not often given the chance to get stuck on a really interesting maths problem. They often assume being stuck is wrong, while the opposite is true! In Andrew’s day the group tackle puzzles and games, which are not only fun but also allow children ‘to take their brain to the gym!’
Throughout the day fluency and reasoning are combined to develop Problem-Solving skills. Children who attend these events are often already very good at fluency, so the focus is combining it with reasoning.
The group learns the Top Six ‘Number Ninja Tricks’ to help avoid counting when calculating and make them lightning fast!
Andrew specialises in workshops that are active but thought-provoking; your pupils will be cutting things out, making magic, building domes, and reasoning in deep mathematical ways to solve exciting problems and mysteries.
The maths workshops include detective mysteries, mathematical designs, card tricks and number puzzles, all guaranteed to help your children discover the joy of maths!
Andrew has an endless supply of resources that he is skilfully able to match to the requirements of individuals and groups throughout the day.
Children who attend the day receive a free set of puzzles to take away and work on after the event is over, so the fun doesn’t stop at the end of the day.
Andrew’s SATs Prep Days - Year 6
These days are perfect for children who are very close to achieving their age-related score / children who got very close to the scaled score of 100 (or just made that score) in their most recent mock SAT, and may lack confidence in a few areas.
This day is designed to be a positive and fun experience reminding children what they’ve already been taught, but more importantly, helping them recognise what they already know.
