LEADING CHANGE
IN THE MATHEMATICS LANDSCAPE
D
espite being taught for
millennia, maths is still a
tricky subject to master. In
classrooms, children are
still expected to memorise formulas
through individual rote learning, while
varying attainment levels make it
difficult to get everyone learning and
progressing together. Mathematics for everyone A clear view of success
All learners can master maths when
they have the right kind of instruction
and support. MNP is dedicated to
building an empowered and inspired
global maths community and helping
you give your pupils the best start
possible. Schools teaching maths for mastery
have seen maths standards rise,
proving it’s not what you learn, it’s how
you learn it.
For school leaders, meeting these
challenges while still having time to
support your teaching staff can feel
impossible. But maths teaching looks
different with Maths — No Problem! The MNP approach develops a deep
and
sustainable
understanding
of maths. Pupils learn to work on
problems systematically, instead of
relying on memory. It teaches pupils
to apply their maths knowledge
to unfamiliar problems and builds
on pupils’ existing knowledge and
competencies.
Research
shows
that
learning
outcomes
are
improved
when
pupils are provided with a reliable
mathematical framework.
MNP uses a spiral approach to
learning where each lesson builds
upon previous learnings and pupils
revisit prior concepts to encourage
essential connections. This gives
pupils a deeper understanding of
mathematical concepts and helps
build their mathematical fluency.
Starting with evidence
MNP is a new way of thinking about
maths teaching, but the ideas and
theories its based on have been
around for a lot longer. MNP takes the
best research from the world’s most
influential educational thinkers and
puts it into practice.
Based on the theories of well-
established educational psychologists
like Piaget, Dienes, Vygotsky, Skemp
and Bruner, every element is based on
evidence, in-class testing and constant
refinement.
Support when you need it
You’re not alone — and you never will
be. MNP provides extensive training
and resources to teach world-class
maths.
MNP courses give educators of every
skill level teaching strategies that they
can use right away. Courses are led
by world-renowned maths trainers
while online training includes in-class
footage, technique videos and in-
depth interviews.
Award-winning
textbooks
and
workbooks are fully aligned with the
DfE. Plus, supplemental resources like
the Mathsteasers Series, support your
advanced learners and keep everyone
learning together.
Since 2007, MNP has helped thousands
of schools across the UK adopt this
highly effective teaching approach.
School leaders have seen first-hand
how this inclusive approach builds
self-confidence and resilience in pupils
and raises maths standards across the
board.
“94% of Year 6 met expected
standards in maths, with 41% of the
year group achieving greater depth.
We absolutely believe our change to
a mastery approach using MNP has
contributed and we are incredibly
proud of how well our children did.”

Making an impact
MNP has worked with experts,
teachers, academics and parents to
develop a network of resources that
make maths make sense for all learners.
Training, resources, community — it’s
everything in one place to give every
learner a chance to make a greater
impact on the world around them.
Ready to lead the change? Join us
at our Maths Mastery Leadership
Conference, Dubai, 3–5 March 2019.
The result is a fresh pedagogical
approach that emphasises teaching
maths for mastery through problem-
solving, mathematical fluency and a
deep understanding of mathematical
concepts.
