Hi, my name is Josh; I am the founder of Ninja Maths. My passion to help all students worldwide improve their basic facts abilities in a fun way. I have worked in education in almost all capacities and year groups at the Primary School level. From teaching Sport to classroom teaching to Maths Co-ordinator to Deputy Principal – over the course of a 20+ year career. From 2012 I have been building Ninja Maths, including the Ninja Maths Programs; hands on games (Ninja Maths Island and Ninja Combat); and downloadable hands-on games (Battle Grid). All of these developments have seen students demonstrate incredible improvement in their basic fact knowledge (all while having fun 😊)

Look sometimes it has to come down to dollars and cents, and here at Ninja Maths we want to give the best value for money. So all of out Bundles are a one off payment to teachers and/or schools. This means no need to pay for an ongoing subscription – just get and have it forever. As a teacher and former leader of a school I know how important it is to use the budgets effectively, so that is why we strive to make Ninja Maths the best value for money resources available.

Maths does not have to be a grind for students; basic fact fluency makes all other areas of maths easier – this is a fact. And building this knowledge can be done in a fun way. Having travelled to so many different schools over the last few years I have seen Maths taught in many different ways, but many times It was with pencil and paper. I don’t blame teachers for this; we have not been given another effective way. As stated above my goal is to help teachers build basic fact knowledge in the most effective, efficient and fun way. So, this is my gift to the world – teachers have enough on their plate to try and create another fun way to see amazing improvement, so I have done this for you.

I am consistently looking at research to see what the most engaging, interesting ways is to generate motivation, focus  and improvement in students. Then my next step is creating a version that can be implemented by any teacher anywhere, without adding pressure but instead bringing joy and freedom to the classroom.

Another passion of mine is Growth Mindset. As a part of my Teacher Full Day PL I love to break down Growth Mindset and help teachers communicate this understanding to students. Growth Mindset underpins all effective learning and helps build a framework that supports all who embrace it when learning and getting better at any skill. Ninja Maths and Growth Mindset are inextricably linked as they fit together perfectly in helping students learn and see what a Growth Mindset can do.

I thank you for joining me on this journey and always love to hear about the positive effects Ninja Maths is having on students and teachers – so please reach out if you have any stories or encouragement.

Thanks again,

Josh
