St Mary's Grammar School

the maths department has been using izak9, which is an active learning device specifically designed to create a totally immersive and engaged shared learning environment. it provides exceptional opportunities for the teaching and learning of mathematics. all areas of the maths curriculum at key stage 3 are addressed in an environment rich in problem solving, oracy, fluency, variation and depth. izak9 support the needs of pupils of all abilities and preferred learning styles. children work together in small groups using real cubes to not only solve the number, algebra, data and shape space problems posed, but also to develop ideas and create tasks and questions of their own.
