GEO-MAT

GEO-MAT has been invented and developed by Adam Unwin-Berrey an internationally recognised expert in Mathematics Education guiding schools, academy chains, universities and national education departments in effective approaches to teaching mathematics.

He has taught mathematics at all levels from lower primary, through secondary to degrees and postgraduate degrees in mathematics and mathematics education.

Adam’s passion for developing conceptual understanding – as opposed to rule based learning, engages staff and students in a love for mathematics, reduces anxieties and negativity towards the subject; giving all the confidence that they can do Maths.

By incorporating the Geo-Mat into our everyday practice, pupils now have a resource that is multi-functional in its approach to representing key functions such as shape, space, measure, number representations, bar modelling and much more.
