Hi all numberlovers! I am currently acting Head of Mathematics at All Saints Catholic Centre for Learning in Knowsley and will be moving to a new school as the Head of Department in September! I am fortunate to be working in a new BSF (Building Schools for the Future) school with great open spaces for collaboration within subject and cross curricular, as well as being able to think outside the box!
I enjoy sharing and learning, hope to hear back on how the ideas posted here worked for you. Hope you enjoy this blog!
Second in Department at St Bernards Catholic High School in Barrow in Furness. Having come to teaching through the teach first programme I fell in love with the profession. I enjoy making maths lessons hands on and promoting it as the fantastic, creative and interesting subject it is.
I hope you enjoy using some of our ideas in your classrooms!
So here we are and through this blog we will indulge in our lust for numbers and love of teaching. We hope to share and pool ideas that will make the teaching of mathematics sparkle!
If you like the ideas shared here why not have a look at our resource website www.numberloving.co.uk and tweet us @laurareeshughes and @numberloving to let us know what you think.
Number Loving will be presenting at the SSAT Achievement Show at the Emirates Stadium on the 19th June, come and see us in the Leading Learning Zone.
