What is the Problem-solving Schools initiative?

Problem-solving Schools is an exciting new initiative to help schools raise the profile of mathematical problem-solving and nurture better problem-solvers.

At the heart of our initiative is our Charter, which offers a framework to help you reflect on your current practice and to agree on areas for development. The Charter highlights five key areas:

  • Vision and ethos
  • Leadership and PD
  • Curriculum, pedagogy and assessment
  • Classroom culture
  • Problem-solving beyond the classroom.

We invite all schools who are committed to nurturing confident mathematical problem-solvers to apply to become Problem-solving Schools.
