This course is for Stroud Association Schools only. 

Thinking of how to make mathematics fun and engaging ? wondering how to engage children who don’t enjoy mathematics?
Story and video is a great way to re-engage leaners with aspects of maths they often struggle with such as fractions, multiplication and division. These are aspects of the curriculum that many learners will have missed over the past year.
With World Book Day, World Poetry Day and World Maths Day all in March it is a good opportunity to use story and video as a vehicle for learning.
Why use story and videos you might ask?

• It is fun.
• Brings abstract Maths alive into real situations.
• Supports understanding by providing pictorials.
• Gives children a hook for memory retrieval.
• Good way to revise/introduce a concept.
• Spreads the joy of books, reading and a shared experience.
