Able Maths Day

The school continued its hosting of workshops for local schools with its invite to talented Year 5 mathematicians from Handsworth Primary and St Marys RC Primary who teamed up with selected pupils from Bronte and Hawking classes for an Able Maths Day held in the Junior hall. The sessions were led by Pete Hall.

Pete was seconded to the National Numeracy Strategy for three years. He was the Senior Regional Coordinator for the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM).

As a freelance Consultant Pete has supported many Local Authorities, academies and schools. As an author, he has had many books published, notably a series on problem solving for KS1 and KS2. He has also produced online materials for a range of companies.

Year 5 pupil Millie who attended the workshop said, "It was really great working with pupils from other schools. The maths activities were fun and interesting."
