About me (the author !)
I taught for twenty-odd years in several socio-economically deprived schools in the
West Midlands (of the UK); working across the age range from early years to year
6. Then I moved into local authority support teams, firstly as a Behaviour and
Reintegration advisory teacher, and then supporting Looked After Children. via
distance learning projects and computer loans,as well as in person.

I have freely shared resources for many years, mostly via my website:
w w w . j o h n a n d g w y n . c o . u k.
My first published books (Ginns Maths Express series) came out in 2000 but are
now out of print. I was one of the authors of Nelson Thornes Classworks
Numeracy series. More recently I contributed to Heinemanns KS 3 Maths
scheme Level Up.

In September 2011 "restructuring" gave me the opportunity to early retire to


spend more time with my first grandchild.
