'Absolutely superb! Thank you for such a motivating training session and thank you SSAT. The training delivery was superb!'
'As Maths Adviser, I will be promoting this to every school in my Authority. The Presenters were excellent.'
'This is the best SSAT training day I have ever been on - you should all pat yourselves on the back for a job brilliantly done!'
'My head is spinning and, unfortunately, so was my car when we raced! A truly fabulous and worthwhile day - thanks.'
'I really enjoyed today. Now I know why the kids in my school love it so much!'
'I think I will have more fun than my students and about time too! This really was fantastic!'
'Terrific delivery, pace and style. Thank you for a marvellous day!'
'If this could become part of the new maths curriculum, it would be outstanding!'
'I really enjoyed today. Can't wait to get back to school and get both students and staff involved ASAP!'
'This has to rank amongst the best motivational days I've had! The work we did was exciting in itself and the levels just right for the target audience. Awesome!'
'This has been a fantastically worthwhile day - I feel really confident about using the software and it's just what I'm looking for to get my children going! Watching the race was the highlight of the day - I even had 'butterflies!'
'This was so enjoyable. Hands on, time flew and totally fired up! The kids are going to love doing this and some! This puts maths into a real world context.'
'This course was infectious! Lots of information, very well delivered and oh so relevant. Very enjoyable and I can't wait to get started.
'Excellent cross curricular activity between Maths and ICT. Great real life simulation.'
'So useful to be shown what to do by the person who actually designed the software. It's not often teachers get this kind of opportunity and I for one intend to make the most of it. My kids will thank me when I roll this out in class - fantastic!'
'This was one of the most intense experiences of my life and I really felt the pressure to get through it! However, I also felt very excited and motivated and when you then raced all of us against each other, my heart was pounding and the pit of my stomach churning. I had to remind myself that this was a maths course - very very worthwhile - what a day!'
'I was so excited just before the race that I had 'butterflies' and you have restored my enthusiasm for teaching mathematics. Can't wait to use this with my children - they will go absolutely crazy!'
'The course was good but I felt rushed with the maths.'
'This is no game is it? Some of my students will really engage with this and I'm sure it will raise standards in my school. Brilliant course thank you.'
