Mathmagics for teachers

“I’ve been teaching for fifteen years and that was the

Best Maths Presentation I’ve ever seen.

A superb teacher-training event!”

Patrick Mills, Year 5 Class Teacher, Orchard Primary School, Hackney

March 2013.

David offers bespoke interactive workshops to give you and your colleagues a suite of activities to bring your maths lessons to life. 

Drawing on his lifelong experience of professional teaching and coaching in schools and offices around the world, his educational shows and a deep knowledge of a broad range of presentation skills, David will share some of his Mathmagical tricks, answer questions and help teachers with challenges, as well as looking at the effective use of props and the art of structuring unforgettable presentations.

He’ll will share some “tricks of the trade” from his experience, from over twenty years as a professional actor, working with Johnny Ball, coaching executive clients globally and delivering unforgettable maths and science shows  (and Shakespeare and Drama workshops) to all levels and experiences.

He will also share some terrific activities that teachers can readily use with their classes either in large spaces such as a hall or or playground or in their classrooms.  These include creative and fun ways to learn and reinforce multiplication tables, teach factors, prime numbers and place value and much more.  These activities work superbly with class-sized groups but require too much set-up time (or too small group sizes) for him to effectively use them in his standard Mathmagics days.  However, for individual teachers they are a terrific resource.

With his knowledge and experience in teaching Leadership Presence in the corporate world, David will also be happy to share techniques to boost your Presence and Impact too, as well as help you craft Mathmagical presentations to make the very most of your school’s Maths resources and bring all your Maths lessons wonderfully to life..!

Boost your Mathmagical techniques to Inspire, Motivate and Engage your pupils of all levels to help them fall in love with and get the Very Most from their Maths !
