Stop & Think – EEF funded study of a new primary maths and science programme
State funded primary schools in Warwickshire are being invited to take part in a study testing a new maths and science programme called ‘Stop and Think’. The study is being funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF). Three Warwickshire schools have already expressed an interest in taking part and we are looking for more to join them.
What is ‘Stop and Think’?
Stop and Think is a software programme developed by neuroscientists at Birkbeck University which uses quizzes and games to help pupils learn counterintuitive concepts in science and maths. In a previous study, pupils who used the programme had higher attainment in science (+2 months progress) and in maths (+ 1 months progress).
