About Jonathan Robinson

Home → About

Hi, I’m Jonathan Robinson. In 2012 I set up Mr Mathematics to share the lessons I was using in my classroom every day. What started as support for my own students and colleagues is now used by over a million teachers each month.

I want students who can stick with a problem, not just copy a method. Every lesson includes challenging questions for all abilities, so students think, make mistakes, and take ownership of both.

These resources are not for rote teaching or passive slide-clicking. They rely on you modelling the method and guiding the problem-solving. The teacher teaches mathematics, not the PowerPoint.

I have led mathematics departments in state and independent schools, focusing on high-quality teaching and learning. I have presented at national conferences, been featured in Equals magazine, and completed a Master’s in Education specialising in Mathematics Education and Leadership.

Classroom lessons live in the Curriculum Hub. Department planning, CPD and cover sit in the Heads of Maths Hub.

I also offer consultancy for heads of mathematics: raising attainment, strengthening teams, and embedding teaching strategies. If you would like to know more, contact me.
