As you may be aware, in September 2016 we introduced Inspire Maths to our school. This scheme was implemented successfully across all the year groups to ensure that all of our pupils benefit from this new approach.
Inspire Maths is a transformational, whole-school primary Maths programme based on the leading Singapore Maths series ‘My Pals are Here’, used in 100% of Singapore's state primary schools and is the only mastery textbook programme proven to raise standards in the UK.
Accessible pupil textbooks introduce concepts in a highly scaffolded approach, enabling all children to develop critical thinking skills, make mathematical connections and become confident mathematicians.
Built on a concrete - pictorial - abstract approach, ensuring secure foundations and deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Uses a spiral progression to develop fluency, reasoning, and problem solving and conceptual understanding for mastery.
