Enthusiastic about educating but suspicious about schooling. Interested and experienced in school and system governance. Career spent investigating how mathematics teaching can best effect mathematics learning.
I haven’t had a chance to read this yet, but I just know it'll be fab! @helenjwc.bsky.social 's work on maths and EYFS is always spot on.

It was great to see a shot of our International Set of Cuisenaire rods being used in the BBC Breakfast interview with Cat Eadle from @dyscalculianetwork.bsky.social a few weeks ago. #cuisenairerods are still a favourite manipulative and provide a concrete grounding in mathematical concepts.
I like the @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @bbclooknorth.bsky.social logo for elections in UK. All dates formed from equilateral triangles on isometric paper. Can all digits be formed in this way? @atmmathematics.bsky.social #iteachmath #mathspondering #maths
This is wonderful news. The UK has officially signed up to rejoin the EU’s Erasmus+ scheme from 2027 It means students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe 👏

When arts education is dismissed as a waste of time it damages us as a society. The focus of learning is not just to enrich our economy but also to enrich our souls

The expanding universe of mathematical knowledge is the outcome of human endeavour. A mathematics curriculum should recognise and celebrate this. Learning to think & work mathematically is a precondition to the acqusition of mathematical skills and knowledge
We have now deactivated our X account. Please share our bluesky account with people that have an interest in mathematics education, and maths manipulatives @cuisenaireco.bsky.social #mathseducation #manipulatives #playislearning #pedagogy #cuisenairerods
I'm being asked to verify my age before I can access my bluesky account. Is this normal or is it a scam?

Vivergo Fuels workers make urgent plea to PM to save threatened Hull bioethanol plant
Workers at Vivergo Fuels have urged the Prime Minister to step in as Hull’s bioethanol plant faces shutdown within days without urgent Government support.

A picture not dissimilar to that of Hiroshima, 80 years ago to the day. Such is the scale of devastation and misery.

Looking at all schls across England over the last 10 years: as the proportion of schls judged good or better by Ofsted has increased so has the proportion of pupils being suspended or permanently excluded. Is there a relationship at schl level? Higher excluders more likely getting higher grades?
BBC News - School suspensions rise to nearly a million in England www.bbc.com/news/article...
School suspensions and exclusions rise to nearly a million in England
Suspensions and exclusions rose in the last school year - with a significant increase among primary-age pupils.

Are you comfortable with non-integer factors? And, if they are not factors, what are they called? #ukmathschat #needtoknow

I'm beginning to like ChatGPT. In response to my earlier post on LinkedIn: "mathematical fluency is the ease by which we can link mathematical objects" it was quite complimentary! Mind you, I've been saying this for decades. @atmmathematics.bsky.social #mathematics #teaching #mathslearning
Article in today's @theobserveruk.bsky.social called "Tested to destruction" concludes with the quote below. Some of us have been shouting about the imperative of investment in early childhood for many decades. It's just so darned obvious.
Tables: parrot fashion. We've got to two, twos are four. Notice the technique of teacher encouragement.
This news from #BBC reminds me of @atmmathematics.bsky.social Easter conf session. Shld curriculum be expressed as ingredients, ingredients & recipes or ready made meals? The risks of ready made meals missing their essential nutrients & perhaps OK only in exceptional circumstances was discussed!
Is this from Conrad Wolfram being considered within the curriculum review? “In real-world maths, computers do almost all the calculating; by contrast, in educational maths, people do almost all the calculating.” "The fundamental problem at the heart of today’s maths education crisis.”
@atmmathematics.bsky.social On the way home after conference. Thanks to the organisers. You made it happen. Gd to be with maths educators for ever pushing the boundaries of possibility to reveal & sustain the mathematician in all learners. Reflecting on Gattegno's 1st presidential address to ATAM

Peter Lacey 🇺🇦@ecarda1.bsky.social · last yr.An early start to futureproofingthecurriculum.org.uk It's always refreshing to spend a few days with colleagues who are independent from govt agencies & commercial enterprises. A chance to refocus on the learning of mathematics & to think hard about what that means for curriculum design & teaching.

Does this BBC News clip suggest that the reporter Jeffrey Goldberg is a Trump supporter as he is said to hate those who are anti-Trump?
