I will be leading @theeef.bsky.social funded pilot evaluation of Education and Training Foundation ‘s GCSE Maths Resit Intervention, Can-Do Maths @ioe.bsky.social
Our study plan was published today. 👇🏽

A formidable team … and there are many many others making a big difference to maths education across the country! @atmmathematics.bsky.social @mathematicala.bsky.social @nama-uk.bsky.social @ncetm.bsky.social
Maths & English teachers - what is your experience (if any) of collaboration between the two subjects?
Please take part in this joint @mathematicala.bsky.social /

Such a stimulating day @kandmmathshub.bsky.social: maths with Anne Watson, rounded off with a thought provoking reflection on problem solving for exams vs problem solving real world contexts with @robeastaway.bsky.social @j9allen.bsky.social @loumaths.bsky.social @atmmathematics.bsky.social
We are off to a great start with @jenshearman.bsky.social from @ncetm.bsky.social and LLMEs exploring the impact of 10 years of @kandmmathshub.bsky.social
Ready to celebrate 🎉 10 years with @kandmmathshub.bsky.social @robeastaway.bsky.social @j9allen.bsky.social
Beautiful words.

@royalstatsoc.bsky.social @royalsociety.org can you work with #theimperialwarmuseums to get Lindemann’s wonderful visualisations of WWII published. A wonderful alternative story-telling of the war.
Today I discovered Isotypes and Otto Neurath @sciencemuseumldn.bsky.social anyone know anything more? @standupmaths.bsky.social @robeastaway.bsky.social @timharford.ft.com @profsmudge.bsky.social @royalstatsoc.bsky.social
How would you reform UK math qualifications? 12.30, I'm on BBC Radio 2.
Exam board OCR called for government to introduce “short course” maths course on fundamental skills (like fractions & percentages) & provide better alternative for 40% of students who fail maths GCSE

Heard her on BBC R2 at 1230 today followed by @bobbyseagull.bsky.social discussing this.
Congratulations @johnwestwell.bsky.social 🎉👏🍾 - Master of acronyms and now you have one to call your own - MBE. I remember those early days when @ncetm.bsky.social were thinking about “MESH” before the MH was settled upon. What a vision to be realised.
The Nine Lesson … events are a stalwart of our Christmases. Our kids loved the family version for a few years but now they only want to come to the one where the adults are allowed to swear! 🤣 @goddent83.bsky.social @atmmathematics.bsky.social @robeastaway.bsky.social @standupmaths.bsky.social
Alongside my postdoc, I am the editor of the Centre for Mathematical Cognition blog at Loughborough University.

This👇🏽. The obsession with children needing to be “school ready” is a misnoma. Attempts to set expectation of groups of homogenous 4/5 year olds and ignores the diversity of experiences they bring as they start school. @aaronearlyyears.bsky.social @helenjwc.bsky.social @cathgripton.bsky.social
Don’t hold your breath! I’ve too much on right now. 🤣🤦🏽♀️

The base of the largest triangle is horizontal along the bottom of the picture. On its left edge, and sharing the left vertex, is a smaller purple triangle with area 20. On the right edge of the large triangle, and sharing its right vertex, is a yellow triangle with area 5. All three of the red triangle’s vertices lie on the edges of the large triangle, and the vertices on the left and right are shared with the purple and yellow triangles respectively. In the centre of the red triangle is a question mark.
Four equilateral triangles. What’s the area of the red one?

What does your method look like?
What makes you feel the “inside” perimeters are not the same? I’m counting the same number of blues and greens?
Mmmm interesting. 🤔
I was thinking that you might justify that the more sides the larger the area. The more circular it gets?
Can justify why the areas might be different? 😉
Same perimeter, different shape. Same area of shape formed inside? @atmmathematics.bsky.social @mathematicala.bsky.social

Another example of why we need a richer data education. Critically interpreting visualisations. See www.jmc.org.uk/2024/11/16/a...
Nice “conversation”. 👇🏽 @atmmathematics.bsky.social @mathematicala.bsky.social @colinfoster77.bsky.social @geoffwake1.bsky.social @tadwatanabe.bsky.social
