Bringing practical maths training
straight to your school.
Supporting children in maths can sometimes feel challenging, especially when concepts are tricky to explain or time is short. Our face-to-face training sessions give teaching assistants the chance to explore strategies in person, ask questions and practise approaches in a supportive environment. We focus on clear, practical methods that make maths more accessible - so you leave feeling confident, equipped and ready to make a real impact back in the classroom.
Why choose face-to-face training?
There’s something powerful about learning together in the same room. Face-to-face sessions create space for collaboration, discussion and hands-on practice. Your team can share experiences, explore strategies in real time and get immediate feedback to build confidence. Every session can be tailored to your school’s needs, ensuring that the training is practical, relevant and ready to use with your children the very next day.
Training sessions that we currently offer
Igniting learning in small groups
Discover how to get the most out of small group work during lessons, using strategies that enhance children’s learning without disrupting classroom flow. This session explores ways to keep pupils engaged, target support effectively, and adapt tasks so everyone can access the learning. You’ll also take away practical ideas that transfer seamlessly into intervention sessions, giving you versatile tools to support progress in any setting.
Igniting support using effective scaffolding strategies
Explore simple, powerful scaffolding techniques that help children access tricky concepts without taking away their independence. Gain confidence in knowing when to step in, when to step back and how to gradually build understanding.
Igniting mathematical understanding using representations
See how models and visuals can bring abstract maths to life. From number lines to part–whole models, this session shows you how to use representations to deepen children’s understanding and make maths more meaningful.
Igniting reasoning and problem solving
Unlock the skills children need to think mathematically. This session focuses on practical ways to support pupils in explaining their ideas, spotting patterns and making connections. You’ll learn strategies to guide children through problem-solving processes step by step, helping them build confidence, resilience and the ability to tackle challenges independently.
Igniting mathematical confidence
Help children develop a positive relationship with maths. This session focuses on practical ways to build resilience, encourage risk-taking and celebrate small wins so learners feel confident tackling challenges.
Igniting flexible thinking
Help children see that there’s more than one way to solve a problem. This session explores how to model and encourage different methods in maths, guide pupils to choose approaches that make sense for them and develop reasoning skills that deepen understanding. You’ll gain practical strategies to nurture flexible thinkers who can explain, justify and adapt their ideas with confidence.
