Tagtiv8 Physically Active Learning in Mathematics

As teachers and leaders, we need to look at ways we can increase and embed creative opportunities for learning.

Tagtiv8 Physically Active Learning (PAL) approaches provide an enjoyable alternative to classroom based learning, while also promoting physical activity – crucial when we all face the increasing problem of sedentary lifestyles.

Research by Leeds Beckett University demonstrates that Tagtiv8 PAL solutions:

• tackle inactivity & obesity levels
• impact positively on standards and academic performance

Tagtiv8 are now working with over 70,000 children and teachers across the UK and abroad.

Pioneering teachers respect the pedagogy and children love the games. Do you want to see the approaches in action? Click here.

Tagtiv8 enagage even the most reluctant of learners and help transform attitudes to Mathematics -

"I used to think I was rubbish at Maths, but now I know I'm not." Ethan, Year 5, Leicester.

A Tagtiv8 STEM Activity Day is an ideal way to see how PAL approaches can benefit the learners and staff at your school.

Tagtiv8 STEM Activity Days are flexible so that they can fit around your school day and the needs of your learners.

Tagtiv8 will work with you during the lead up, helping to select the groups and activities based on your needs and objectives. Sessions are prepared and delivered by qualified Tagtiv8 teachers, based on the needs of your staff and learners.

What could a Tagtiv8 Activity Day include?

• An assembly to launch the day or a celebration at the end of the day

• Up to 5 sessions in the morning and 4 sessions in the afternoon with selected classes or groups

• In-built Play Leadership for older children

• In-built CPD for teaching and support staff during the sessions

• Staff CPD after school to embed PAL approaches

During the Tagtiv8 STEM sessions, all learners will:

• feel more confident with mathematical fluency, reasoning & problem solving
• feel fitter
• be smiling

Teaching staff will see how PAL approaches:

• impact upon their learners

• can easily fit into their curriculum provision and environment/facilities
