The Bar Model Course

A video course from the first drawn bar to algebra. Chapter order is deliberate: each one assumes the last, so you can start at the chapter that matches what your class is stuck on, then go back.

  • Chapters filed for KS1, KS2, secondary and maths leads
  • Part-whole, comparison and before & after models
  • Number, algebra, area and puzzles
  • A final chapter on leading bar modelling in your school

EYFS Ten Frames Course

A course for EYFS and Year 1 teachers on using ten frames for maths mastery in the early years. Where it all starts: subitising, part-part-whole and the language that makes the bar obvious later.

  • For the people who teach four- to six-year-olds
  • The same material as our EYFS ten frames half day, on video
  • Included on top of the half day when you book it

How access works

One school loginfor every teacher.

Both courses come with the whole-school membership: £399 a year for the school, unlimited staff, EYFS to Year 6.

  1. 1

    Set up your school

    One membership for the school, not per teacher and not per key stage.

  2. 2

    Every teacher is covered

    Every teacher and teaching assistant you employ, on one school login. September starters are included automatically.

  3. 3

    Watch when it suits

    No INSET day to book, no supply cover to fund and no fixed session to attend. Teachers watch the lesson they need, the week they need it.

Do we have to drop the scheme we already use?

No, and we would rather you didn’t. We are scheme-agnostic: we teach into whatever you already own. The bar model is a way of representing a problem, not a replacement curriculum.

Do we pay twice if we book a training day?

No. A whole-school training day is £1,299 and includes the membership free for that year, so the courses come with it.

Can we see it before committing?

Yes. The ten-episode Blooming Bar Models series and three full lessons are free, with no email gate on the videos themselves. Watch three lessons free

Set your school upfor the year.

£399 covers every teacher you employ, EYFS to Year 6, including whoever starts in September. Prefer to talk first? Book a call.
