Thank you for visiting Purposeful Maths!

​

We have created this website as a way of sharing our resources with the mathematics teaching community.

​

We both have a passion for improving the teaching of mathematics to young people through ensuring thorough understanding of subject content.

​

Between us we have over 20 years of classroom experience across very different schools, both within the UK and abroad.

 

We previously worked together at the same school in York to significantly improve the results of our department, this was as a result of some of the ideas you will find on our site.

 

More recently we have separately taken on different challenging roles:  Phil is currently an Assistant Headteacher with Responsibility for Maths in the City of York and Martin as Head of Department working internationally in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

 

Despite being thousands of miles apart, it is still our mission to work together to produce as many thought provoking and exciting resources for teachers across the world to use and enjoy.

​

Our philosophy has always been to use the best educational research to improve the mathematical experience of all students regardless of background or prior attainment.

​

We hope you find the site useful and please feel free to subscribe to our updates and follow us on Twitter at @pbrucemaths and @mrgreen_maths.

​

All the best.

Phil and Martin
