SARAH OGILVIE

Sarah was a primary teacher for 15 years and mathematics subject leader for much of that time.   Following an in-depth study of Growth Mindsets, she led a change in her last school, enabling children to work in mixed groups, (no more top, middle and bottom tables!), and to choose their own level of difficulty in maths tasks.  Pupils were overwhelmingly positive about this change and how it made them feel as learners.

Sarah now lives by the sea and works as a gardener.  But she still loves maths and firmly believes that everyone can achieve and enjoy it, whatever their starting point. 

101 is Sarah’s first book.  She is currently working on two others - both with Growth Mindsets as a core theme.
