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 👏

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

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?

2.1 x 2.2 × 2.3 = 10.626 I'm comfortable with 10.626 being called the product. Are you comfortable with 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 being called factors? Are you comfortable with non-integer factors? And, if they are not factors, what are they called? #ukmathschat #needtoknow

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.

I have accused @ofstednews.bsky.social of mission creep in the past, but this article in today's Yorkshire Post takes the biscuit! Got me thinking what 'zero standing charges' might be in a school context. Could it be teachers who sit down during a lesson? #bitofagaff

What a good example! A crtical design characteristic of a curriculum is that it is in sync with the development of the child.
