HOW MASTERY CHANGES MATHS
CREATING AN ENGAGED MATHS CLASSROOM
M
aths — No Problem! came
to Dubai in early March to talk
about the current landscape
of
global
mathematics
education.
International
experts
shared the research, results and ideas
shaping the future of Mathematics
teaching and the reasons why Maths
needs to change.
Countries like the UK and high­
performing Asian nations have
proven, through rigorous pedagogical
research and in-class implementation,
that every child can succeed in
mathematics. It takes the right tools,
the right training and a new mindset.
That's where the MNP approach to
Maths mastery comes in. Instead
of rote learning and memorization,
the mastery classroom fosters a
deep sustainable understanding of
mathematical concepts. Children
actively engage with Maths, building
the critical-thinking and reasoning
skills necessary for long - term success.
In short, Maths mastery helps children
become lifelong problem solvers.
Navigating the change
Change is never easy, especially in
education. But with MNP, schools are
supported every step of the way.
From navigating teacher and parent
buy-in to helping pupils adapt to
the new system ,MNP is there with
extensive training and research -
backed resources that help turn
daunting change into rewarding
transformation.
MNP inset training brings trainers
directly to schools to work with
educators on the complete MNP
approach to Maths mastery. This
is coupled with our online Teacher
Academy which includes in-class
footage, technique videos and in­
depth interviews.
School leaders from around the world
have seen first-hand the positive
impact of Maths mastery on overall
school results. Teachers, pupils
and school leaders can all rest easy
knowing that Maths is being taught
effectively in their schools.
The benefits of change
Schools teaching maths for mastery
have seen attainment levels rise, not
just in maths but in other subjects as
well, proving it's not what you learn, it's
how you learn it.
Thousands of schools have already
made the shift to maths mastery.
They've seen how pupils no longer
struggle
with
numeracy
and
fundamental skills like problem
solving. Specialist and non-specialist
educators become confident in their
teaching practice. Most importantly,
maths standards go up across the
board.
In the words of one
headteacher:
"Maths — No Problem! has had
a significant imp act on our results
this year with 76% of children
who took the test achieving the
national standard - a 26% increase
in our results from 20161 It
has
revolutionised the teaching and
learning of mathematics and the
children’s enthusiasm and ability to
reason, with one child explaining after
admiring his work, 'It's like all of the
maths has exploded out of my brain"'

Leading the change
With MNP's approach to maths
mastery, children become promising
mathematicians. They're taught to
think, communicate and embrace the
struggle. These skills become part of
the way they learn in every subject,
serving them now and in the future.
When educators are given the tools
and techniques to deliver world -class
teaching, every child has a chance to
discover the joys of mathematics for
themselves. Teachers can put the ir
effort into delivering lessons instead
of planning t hem. That confidence
coupled with a new mindset improves
lessons not just in maths, but in all
school subjects.
MNP is changing the mathematics
landscape for good - and for the better.
With research-backed training and
resources, ongoing support and
leadership from global experts in
the field, schools around the world
are building a future in mathematics
where every child succeeds.
