About Us
‘Make Thinking
Visible’
This quote from
Ritchhart and Perkins’ 2008 work underpins everything we at FluidMaths believe
in have been striving to achieve.
To design problems
that illuminate students’ thinking and make their thinking visible.
Our
vision is to create a platform that should become the premier site for
mathematical reasoning and problem solving to serve teachers and students at
KS4 and KS5
We
have been working to make this a reality since the summer of 2019 but the whole
concept was born in 2014 when I was mentored by Steve Blades. Steve’s philosophy of
teaching mathematics, his experience and achievements are up there with the
greats.
I
also owe a wealth of thanks to Mark Dawes and the Cambridge Maths Hub for their
inspiration and guidance.
FluidMaths
would not have become a reality had I not come across Mark.
This
has been in the making for over a decade. Trying and failing and tapping into
the experience and expertise of some of the great teachers of mathematics we
have come across.
We
hope fluidmaths.co.uk will provide the resources that will enable you to
stretch and challenge your students, support their critical thinking skills and
improve their cognitive fluidity.
We hope that you and
your students will find all the resources on FluidMaths do indeed help make
thinking visible.
