"I first taught Maths Makes Sense to a year 5 class. We focused on the mathematical language and the use of actions and carefully thought out objects and use of tables to introduce the learning system. It had an immediate impact on the childrens approach to mathematics."

Ben Davis, Deputy Headteacher
