Our Vision
Every child is fluent and confident with number.
Our Mission
To inform leaders, upskill teachers and empower parents.
What We Believe
Winning With Numbers is based on 4 fundamental beliefs:
- We believe that basic number knowledge is best acquired through a systematic and synthetic construction, like phonics.
- We believe that the biggest driver for success is the accuracy, detail and sophistication held within the sequence of learning.
- We believe that explicit and direct instruction is the most efficient teaching strategy for this specific curriculum domain.
- We believe that digital technologies provide a crucial role in maintaining a ‘high press’ on multi-part cognitive processing speed in the absence of face-to-face teaching.
Our Purpose
Winning With Numbers exists for 4 reasons:
- We exist to improve the life chances of learners by providing them with learning experiences necessary for an early and super-efficient development of Number Knowledge automaticity.
- We exist to provide teachers with instant access to the teaching sequences, strategies and blended-learning resources to act on the above beliefs and reduce workload.
- We exist to provide school leaders with a high performing and continually strengthening, transparent system for securing essential Number Knowledge, eliminating variations within school.
- We exist to empower parents to be highly productive facilitators in the process of their children acquiring Number Knowledge.
