In this interview, our Head of Education, Mark Anderson, got to talk about Maths and effective pedagogy for mobile learning with former Maths teacher, Rachel Dunsmore. Now an edupreneur with her own company, Arc Education (creators of a retrieval app for Maths), Rachel provided some interesting insights into the teaching of Maths and mobile learning in general. Responding to questions asking about how to deal with those who ‘don’t do Maths’, approaches to ensuring purposeful use of iPads, using iPads to teach Maths and how she came to develop her own app to support Maths learning, Rachel's insights proved really interesting and will be sure to resonate with listeners of NetSupport Radio. Learn more about Rachel and her work by visiting arceducation.co.uk
