Spring into the new term
Welcome to the first 2020 edition of Total Maths

We hope you had a fantastic time over the holiday period and that the new term is getting off to a great start. To support you this spring, visit our new 'spring into the new term' support page to get links to a number of resources helpfully collated together.

Please remember that the entries deadline for the summer 2020 assessment series is next month, Friday 21 February.

Are you heading out to any upcoming conferences? We’ll be at the Boolean Maths Hub Conference (Bristol, 18 Jan) and the Mathematics Mastery Conference (London, 3 Feb) in the next few weeks, so if you’re going we’ll see you there.

We'll also be on the road this term for our Spring Teacher Networks. We're running six around the country and hope you can join us.

Wishing you a great start to the new term.
