My name is Martin Goulden and I’ve worked in Primary Schools for over 10 years, first as a TA and now as an independent Computing specialist. As my wife is a teacher, I know the pressure that teachers are under in order to provide individualised learning, assessment and feedback for each child. I once saw a teacher spend hours and hours preparing and then marking a handful of individualised arithmetic questions only to find that, as usual, some children had completely missed the mark. I had to help, not just the teachers to save the hours of prep and marking time but the children too, to give them instant feedback and satisfaction during their arithmetic sessions.
It has taken me around 100 hours to create this resource in the hope that it will collectively save teachers thousands of hours and provide children with a great platform to learn from.
