Mental Flipcharts

Mental Flipcharts (MF) for each class P1-P7:

TESTIMONIALS

In P7 we do a lot of timed strips and I am getting faster and faster. I understand what to do and I can do Big Guy number bond, step 1 step 2, and use best friends 10 and 20.

Pupil

We are really enjoying using SAMSON. I’m already seeing a very positive impact in my own class and have had lots of positive feedback from parents.

Teacher

The maths challenges and flipcharts have helped with my speed and accuracy.

Pupil

The children are responding well and it’s great to see the enthusiasm…..they are going home asking parents to time them etc… All good stuff!

Head Teacher

SAMSON has made a real difference in our attainment in mental maths in a very short space of time. Children have responded well to the 'over learning' challenges. Staff are able to identify where the gaps in learning are, focus their teaching and because of the way delivery is organised (having only two teaching groups) their expectations have been raised! Finally, I would say that we are starting to see the benefits of children having better numeracy/computation skills/mental recall in other areas if their maths. Not struggling to work out basic number problems has allowed them to focus on the concepts being taught in mathematics.
