Glowworm Taking Orders for Maths - No Problem!

We are pleased to announce that we are able to process orders from scottish schools for an exiting new mathematics programme; Maths - No Problem! The Maths - No Problem! programme gives schools a new way to think, talk about and teach maths. Pupils can approach maths with confidence giving them the tools to articulate their ideas, develop mathematical fluency, and increase their reasoning skills. The programme offers a research based mastery programme, founded on the learning theories of Piaget, Dienes, Bruner, Skemp and Vygotsky and has been refined over the last 30 years in Singapore. Maths - No Problem! have worked with Scottish Education Specialists to map the programme to the Curriculum for Excellence and aligned the Benchmarks. They can offer you a free 14-day trial to access their online Teacher Portal, the trial will give you full access to the Online Teacher hub which accompanies their printed textbooks.

You can download a small information leaflet here:-   For further information you can contact their Scottish Education Sales Consultant, Fiona Weir, on 07591 203949. Or visit the companies website here:- www.mathsnoproblem.com/
