Problem-solving has always been at the heart of how we teach maths. Knowing your times tables is great but being able to use them in real-life word problems matters just as much. I am seeing more students who are brilliant at arithmetic but freeze when it is written as a story. So in class, we blend mental arithmetic with worded problems every week. That way, the numbers make sense when they see them in context.
