The positive impact of Abacus Evolve Abacus has had a wonderfully positive impact on both our teachers and children. The children are challenged whilst developing sound mathematical knowledge and understanding through exciting and fun activities. Equally our teachers have thoroughly enjoyed teaching using the wide variety of teaching styles and techniques abacuses planning provides them with.
It makes teachers lives easier and the kids love it "Abacus Evolve keeps notes, planning and resources altogether. No more searching through files for the information you need- it's there at the end of your finger tips. Children love the books, argue over who is using the software and find the learning fun at ages and all levels of ability."
What the children say about Talk Maths "It's great as we can argue about who is right and no body minds" "Talk Maths is fun to do ... it's not like real maths" "Talk Maths has false answers which are good as they make you think"
Excellent help as a target for the end of the week [On the Teacher Cards] A great starting point for the week – I would then adjust the rest of the week’s activities accordingly. They give me an excellent target for where the children could be by Friday.
Helps with planning and differentation "The interactive planner is particularly exciting in that it will appeal to all teachers from the most experienced teachers and to higher level teaching assistants who may need help with planning and differentiating tasks."
Great flexibility "Our teachers find Abacus Evolve works well because its flexibility accommodates all their objectives –especially those that need improving. Each teacher knows what needs to be taught from week to week and using Abacus Evolve, they move the objectives around and model each lesson to fit how the school wants them delivered. The objectives are in a constant state of flux though, as the rates of progression vary."
For the classroom of the future “We are potentially at the start of a golden age in education as IT become embedded across whole schools and becomes a primary interactive teaching channel. That means the potential for education as a whole is only limited by creativity and budget. Resources like Abacus Evolve are indicative of the classroom of the future.”
