Rethink Maths – A Game-Changer for Education
When you’ve walked the corridors of schools where maths is feared, misunderstood, and seen as a barrier rather than a bridge, you know how vital it is to change the narrative. That’s exactly what Tony Staneff and Caroline Hamilton have done with Rethink Maths. This isn’t just a programme, it’s a movement. A movement to make maths loved, lived, and understood by every child, every teacher, every parent, and yes, every policymaker who dares to dream big for education.
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Tony and Caroline for over a decade. Let me tell you this: my journey as a Head Teacher, turning my school into the best in the country for maths, was powered by their vision, their expertise, and their relentless belief that every child can succeed. They don’t just talk about inclusion, they make it happen. They don’t just preach confidence, they build it, brick by brick, lesson by lesson.
Rethink Maths is built on five powerful missions:
- Rethink Foundations – because strong roots grow strong learners.
- Rethink Confidence – because belief unlocks potential.
- Rethink Inclusion – because every child matters, no exceptions.
- Rethink Real World – because maths isn’t just numbers; it’s life.
- Rethink Teaching – because great teaching changes everything.
At Create Partnership, we’re proud to be among the first, if not the first, to invest in this future. Why? Because our children deserve the very best. And this is it. This is the blueprint for a brighter, bolder, more brilliant maths education.
If you believe maths can be better, and I know you do, then Rethink Maths is your call to action. It’s not just about teaching maths; it’s about transforming lives.
