The Department has pledged £41 million for over 8,000 schools (50% of all UK schools) to start to introduce Asian style maths tuition. Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong lead the world in maths performance, using a system called maths mastery. Those using the scheme have been shown to perform better than their peers. The system means that teachers spend a lot of time on one topic to make sure that children understand it fully. Children also discover how problems relate to their everyday life, so they are given context. The system was created by educational psychologists and specialists. 2 Families Hereford & Worcester To advertise call: 01684 770566 September - October 2016 News & Views Ghostly Goings On At Arley Station Finger Licking Is Good For You It may drive parents mad but it has been suggested that children who regularly suck their thumbs or bite their nails are less prone to developing allergies.
