Talk Maths

An innovative programme, designed to get two pupils working together at one PC. They tackle maths problems by co-operating and discussing, and their maths learning is strengthened by the social skills they develop along the way.

Solve the Problem

Everything you need to get pairs and groups of pupils working together to solve fun, open-ended challenges, and all have several ability levels. There are visual puzzles, logic problems, and easy-to-use tools to help.
