Did you know that improving spatial ability can improve mathematical knowledge? Even playing with Lego can improve maths attainment in later life. @ekfarran, Professor of Cognitive Development at @UniOfSurrey, discusses the importance of spatial ability in maths in this clip.

Join our lovely team and work with us on this exciting project! Deadlines 6th Nov (post-doc) and 9th Nov (project officer). We will be working with teachers to deliver a whole-class Lego intervention, to support spatial and maths skills.

Just a few more days to apply for these posts working on an intervention using Lego to support spatial and maths skills. Please get in touch with any questions.
