I just wanted to say how fantastic I think SAMSON is... I am a parent and know very little about it but have a son in P7 at Troqueer Primary who has never “got” numbers and “hated maths”...! I found this difficult as i was taught arithmetic well and use “mental maths” every day at 40.... Since he has started SAMSON he has made huge progress with all aspects of mental maths - it’s quite unbelievable. I only wish he had benefitted from it sooner! He’s even enjoying numbers and their challenges now which is great. I’m looking forward to learning a bit more about the strategies and how parents can support the work at home soon. I think it’s a brilliant addition to kids education and just wanted to thank you very much! All the best, with kind regards. - Happy Parent.
The mental Flipcharts are fun and helpful.
In P7 we do a lot of timed strips and I am getting faster and faster. I understand what to do and I can do Big Guy number bond, step 1 step 2, and use best friends 10 and 20.
I quite enjoy maths. I feel that the mental strip sheets have helped my speed and the mental agility has helped my techniques.
I am getting faster at the Timed Challenge Sheets, addition, subtraction, multiplication and divide. They are easier now thanks to the Big Guy, step 1 step 2 and best friends 10 and 20.
