Flexible webinars,
designed for you.
Ignita Learning’s online training gives teaching assistants practical, evidence-based strategies for supporting maths all in a format that works around your school. Webinars can be booked at times that suit your team or you can join one of our scheduled sessions. Either way, you’ll get clear, friendly training that’s ready to put into practice the very next day.
Why online training makes a difference
Teaching assistants play a vital role in children’s learning, but many don’t always get the same access to CPD as teachers. Our webinars bridge that gap by giving you tailored, practical training without the need for travel or time away from school. Each session focuses on simple, research-informed strategies you can use straight away, boosting your confidence and impact in maths. The result? More clarity in your support, stronger outcomes for children and a greater sense of recognition for the important work you do.
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.

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.
