About Sharon
Sharon has a wealth of experience to share and a passion for making mathematics a subject that children get excited about!
The workshops she runs are all based around Reasoning, promoting the skills of noticing and looking for patterns as well as exploring general statements.
Recent feedback from one of Sharon’s A.I.M. High Maths days:
Sharon was absolutely outstanding as the leader of our Aim High Maths Day. Her professionalism, deep mathematical knowledge, and inspirational approach made a real impact on both staff and students. It was clear from the start that she was an experienced teacher — her behaviour management and presence in the room were exceptional, creating a positive and focused learning environment. The students were highly motivated, fully engaged throughout the day, and couldn’t stop raving about everything they had learned, especially working with bases other than 10. It was truly a memorable experience for everyone involved,'

Sharon’s AIM High Maths Days
KS1 workshops will be based around geometry and will be ‘hands-on’ and active. Spatial reasoning will be developed as part of the day and the learning opportunities will promote using a refined use of vocabulary to encourage the pupils to learn how to explain. The group will also play a variety of number games, thinking about mental strategies and what we notice to help us make choices.
Lower Key Stage 2 workshops will include geometrical experiences as well as investigating general statements linked to number, with a particular focus on multiplication facts. The group will also think about recreational number theory and try to come up their own number theories to prove the findings.
UKS2 workshops will include the use of puzzles from the past, thinking about how we can use logic to ensure that we understand the strategies needed to win. The group will also look at working in different number bases other than base ten as well as looking at ancient and different number systems. Children will then invent their own number systems, sharing their ideas with each other and justifying their thinking.
