CanDoMaths Resources

CanDoMaths

Our mission is simple… We are passionate about supporting you to develop a 'CanDo Attitude' to maths in your classroom.

We do this with a little help from Colin the 'CanDo' Caribou and his Friends…

We believe that you can enjoy and achieve in mathematics

with these 3 core ideas:

Teaching for Understanding

Teaching that focuses on developing secure and deep understanding, including the use of practical resources and iconic representations supports the learning and memorisation of mathematical concepts. The teaching of 'rules' and 'tricks' with no understanding and the use of only ‘standard’ examples contribute to learners feeling they 'can't do' maths.

Belief

All learners need to believe they can succeed and also believe that their teacher, and parents, believe they can succeed. Adopting a growth mindset is at the heart of a 'CanDoMaths’ approach including the use of 'yet’ and knowing that making mistakes is an essential part of learning.

Hard Work

Success comes from hard work. It's as simple as that! Mathematics can be difficult at times but success can be achieved through hard work.

These 3 core ideas underpin all the CanDoMaths Resources, created by Liz Hopkins and Steve Lomax
