Who are Tagtiv8?
Tagtiv8 pioneer Active Learning with their ‘move & learn’ resources and training.
With a background rooted in teaching and school leadership, we can empathise with teachers and children alike.
We want high academic standards, but not at the expense of physical and emotional wellbeing.
Tagtiv8 is neither Sport or PE – it is a platform to activate any scheme of work for Mathematics, English or other subjects.
Tagtiv8 is all about moving and learning in all subjects – crucial in these days of increasingly sedentary lifestyles.
Why Tagtiv8 & Why Now?
Active Learning with Tagtiv8 works as well as plays!
Don’t just take our word for it – check out these thoughts and words…
The smiles and anecdotes are wonderful, whether they be from children, teachers or school leaders:
- “I used to think I was rubbish at Maths, but now I know I’m not.”
- “With Tagtiv8, you never get a chance to get bored or zone out.”
- “Tagtiv8 engages all learners – even the most reluctant.”
When you back up the testimonials with research, you have a powerful evidence base.
The original research by Dr Andy Daly-Smith is compelling – so much so that NESTA awarded Tagtiv8 Maths a 5 Star rating.

Active Learning – Mathematics
Tagtiv8 Number is not a scheme of work! Our tags and games are so versatile, you can activate any Maths objective, whether it is related to:
- composition of numbers
- ordering, reading and counting
- number bonds
- times tables
- prime numbers and square numbers
- fractions, decimals and percentages
- algebra
- geometry
Active Learning – English
Our letter tags were originally devised to help children with phonics and spelling.
Working with teachers it soon became clear that our letter tags were far more than an active version of Scrabble™.
What’s the biggest barrier to comprehension and inference? That’s right – vocabulary! This is where Tagtiv8 Word really kicks in.
Tagtiv8 Word helps:
- children understand SPaG
- activate the words and worlds of literature
Whether it’s ‘The Gruffalo’, ‘Elmer the Elephant’, ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ or ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’, Tagtiv8 brings to life the characters, the settings and more.
Active Learning – Other Subjects & Languages
Is physically active learning in science, history, geography and languages possible?
Of course – our versatile tags help make learning stick in different subjects:
- Science
- History
- Geography
- RE & PSCHE
Who knew Knowledge Organisers could be so active!
It’s not just English – Tagtiv8 can also be used to develop vocabulary in other languages:
- French, German & Spanish
- Welsh
- Finnish & Swedish

Training & CPD
Our mission – to empower teachers to take learning beyond the classroom walls.
Mathematics, English and other subjects can be taught in the hall, on the playground or the field – as well as in the classroom. Tagtiv8 allows you to introduce knowledge or a skill or a concept in one environment and then embed it in another.
We understand that this may be challenging for some teachers. That’s why Tagtiv8 offer a range of opportunities to:
- introduce the approaches
- embed the programmes
Training and CPD is bespoke to your needs. We can work with:
- Whole School
- Key personnel to drive Tagtiv8 throughout school
This can easily be done:
- On-site
- Remotely via online platforms
- Through weekly Micro-Mentoring sessions
We work closely with Move & Learn – utilising their COM:B model to make a lasting change.
There are endless opportunities to help your school on their ‘move & learn’ journey…
