They were laughing and enjoying their learning and could comprehend by 'concretizing' the abstract concepts they previously did not understand." ―Ben Davis, Deputy Headteacher, St Martins Primary school, Wolverhampton"Maths Makes Sense has made an explicit difference to the development of our children. Richard Dunne is fondly known as The King of Cups at Cuckoo Hall and although MMS has been in the school for under a year its impact has been pervasive and our early results clearly show this. The support and training package we received was excellent and the implementation of the program was absolutely painless. Richard's personal contribution to the training was crucial to engendering staff enthusiasm for an innovative product." ―Sarah Oliver, Deputy Headteacher, Cuckoo Hall Primary School, Enfield, London"Maths Makes Sense is an inspirational way of teaching maths. Inspirational for so many reasons: the strong methodology which ensures every child learns and understands maths; the high level of training and practical support for teachers from the materials; the way even very complex maths is made simple and effortless to children - it has been one of the best decisions I ever made. It's quite literally what the title says. It is a way of making complex maths make sense. It is about high expectations and every child being a successful mathematician. Following the training we now know that 'complex' mathematical ideas can be made concrete and understandable to very young children." ―Greg Wallace, Headteacher, Woodbury Down Community Primary School, Hackney, LondonAbout the AuthorRichard Dunne is known nationally and internationally as a maths expert and a leading researcher on maths teaching.
