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
Kent & Medway Maths Hub@kandmmathshub.bsky.social · last yr.We had a very special moment yesterday celebrating just some of the amazing women that make the work of @kandmmathshub.bsky.social possible! Tell us all about the women you are celebrating this #InternationalWomensDay #KMMH10
Maths & English teachers - what is your experience (if any) of collaboration between the two subjects? Please take part in this joint @mathematicala.bsky.social / @englishassociation.bsky.social survey app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/gsoe/engli...

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
@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 www.ft.com/content/85f7...
Maths qualifications need ‘urgent reform’, says exam board
Thousands of students in England unsuccessfully resit GCSE tests each year

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.
NCETM@ncetm.bsky.social · 2y ago👏 Huge congratulations to @johnwestwell.bsky.social, the NCETM’s Director for System Leadership, on receiving an MBE! John is the architect of the Maths Hubs Programme, now in its tenth year and supporting nearly 60% of schools in England.
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

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

Kit Yates@kityates.bsky.social · 2y agoI don't often swear on here, but stop fucking doing this. Gaslighting of the highest order Stop trying to manipulate us by showing part of the graph. We know that what you're showing doesn't look like a 19% increase. Stopping truncated y-axes is a hill I am prepared to die on

really all I'm doing is paraphrasing my memory of John Mason's "learning and doing mathematics", but I think there's a blogpost in applications to the classroom. I wrote a bit about this here: logsandroots.wordpress.com/2020/03/26/m...

This year I set out to walk 4 million steps in a year. Yesterday I did it. 1884.55 miles in 29 721 mins. Or 495.55 hours or 20.6 days! Which as of yesterday was 6.2% of my year walking. #usingdata. @atmmathematics.bsky.social @learningmaths.bsky.social @geoffwake1.bsky.social
Anyone want experience #lessonstudy from home? This is a great starting point. Book now. Watch the lesson asynchronously and come and reflect with others. @atmmathematics.bsky.social @mathematicala.bsky.social
