How the day works?

Students work at their own pace in small groups self selecting from a range of mathematical tasks that are graded to cater for all abilities. SATRO bring age appropriate puzzles and set them up on tables in a hall. Students will then have the opportunity to complete as many puzzles as they are able.


The sessions will be adapted to work within your timetable and we can cater for the number of classes in each year group and provide back-to-back sessions across the school day.
