Always, Sometimes or Never

12 December 2024

Always, Sometimes or Never - with Ruth Bull and Priya Shah

Do you want primary-aged children to think like mathematicians?

 Join us as we explore some mathematical statements from our new book (with the same name). We will discuss how the statements can be used to encourage children to explore, test, and justify their thinking. We’ll also discuss the accompanying guidance, the manipulatives suggested and the notes provided. The focus on whether a statement is "always true," "sometimes true," or "never true" promotes critical thinking, logical reasoning, and reflection. So, let’s explore together through some of the 89 statements in the book.

 This webinar is ideal for any classroom teacher, home schooler, parent or tutor wanting to stimulate mathematical thinking in their students and any educational establishment looking for a resource to complement their scheme.


About Ruth and Priya:

Ruth and Priya have nearly 60 years of combined experience in teaching and supporting students in England. Their background spans from primary to secondary maths education, which gives them a deep understanding of how mathematical concepts can be introduced, built upon, and applied as students’ progress through their education.

 These two mathematics enthusiasts work as maths advisers and have continued to work with children. They are driven by a shared passion for fostering deep understanding in learners of all ages.
