About WWN

Winning With Numbers has been created by Ben Harding who is an experienced school leader, maths teacher, advisor and edtech specialist. WWN is a programme that's like phonics for maths! We are on a mission to ensure all children are fluent and confident with number.

What we believe and who we are

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.
