In March this year, a set off on a solo walk across the entire length of Britain, from Land’s End to John O’Groats. It is the most extraordinary and life changing experience I’ve ever had. I published a daily video and blog documenting the journey. markwalks.com

'Two negatives make a positive' - hard-wiring what’s not always correct? -10 + -3 = -13 Are teachers causing what I call ‘Cognitive Confusion’? Can we eradicate? @jwrightmaths.bsky.social @peterfoulds77.bsky.social @brunoreddy.bsky.social @markmccourt.bsky.social @sarahjwaite.bsky.social
Helen Maden-Sheridan@fastmaths123.bsky.social · 2y ago 'Two negatives make a positive' - is it hard-wiring what’s not always correct? -3+-7=-10. Where’s the two negatives making a positive?

My order 2004 - times tables to instant recall….ease of remembering: 10x, 11x, 2x, square facts, 5x, 9x, 12x Now just 10 facts to be able to recall 3x4, 7x8 8x3, 6x4, 4x8 3x7, 3x6 4x7, 6x7, 6x8 Oh so like @brunoreddy.bsky.social heat maps @peterfoulds77.bsky.social @markmccourt.bsky.social
Helen Maden-Sheridan@fastmaths123.bsky.social · 2y agoAfter 34 years of research - my order to help pupils to total instant recall of times tables - especially for those who struggle. This is not necessarily the order that times tables need to be taught for understanding.

Helen Maden-Sheridan@fastmaths123.bsky.social · 2y agoDoes anyone else disagree (greatly) with the NCETM order of teaching times tables? 10x, 5x, 2x, 4x, 8x 3x, 6x, 9x 11x, 12x @brunoreddy.bsky.social @peterfoulds77.bsky.social @markmccourt.bsky.social @michaelt1979.bsky.social
