Successful mathematicians understand curriculum concepts, are fluent in mathematical skills and procedures, can solve problems, explain and justify their thinking, and have a positive attitude towards mathematics, and to themselves as learners of mathematics.
To support Problem-Solving Schools, we are offering guidance, to help develop students' mathematical thinking skills, and nurture their mathematical mindsets.
The guidance below includes links to recordings of the relevant webinars (Primary and Secondary).
You can find information about future webinars on our Events page.
