"Just to say 'Thank you'. You are literally a God send today. I found GoMaths and Maths Map and Shine and Write etc. and wow! What a resource! I've found a resource we can use again and again with our classes and making excellent use of our ICT facilities as we should.

Across 189 results from 6,675 pupils, from early years to Year 13, visuals had a moderate positive effect on learning. The benefit was much larger for secondary pupils than for primary pupils, and larger in whole-class teaching than in small groups. Effects were biggest when visuals were explicitly linked to the explanation, when content was broken into meaningful chunks, and when irrelevant details were left out, although these differences were not statistically certain. The benefits showed up in tests taken within a week, but had disappeared in the seven studies that tested pupils two or more weeks later. Bring the same diagram back in later lessons, ask pupils questions about it, and use it to recap before building on the content. more..."
