Lou H-S @loumaths.bsky.social · 14/05/2025How do we move beyond quick recall and build real fluency in maths? At a recent @mathsnoproblem.bsky.social PD Pop Up, we explored how fluency grows through flexibility and understanding. Rachel Walters and I share more in this blog.mathsnoproblem.comMath Fluency Explained: Why Problem-Solving Is the KeyFluency isn’t just speed — it’s about flexibility, reasoning, and problem-solving. Explore how to develop deep mathematical proficiency. 222

Reposted by Lou H-Swww.mrbeeteach.com 🐝 @mrbeeteach.bsky.social · 12/02/2025We've collectively moved on from differentiation by prior attainment and now rightly have high expectations of all children. Personalisation in maths isn’t about different worksheets; it’s about crafting tasks that allow all pupils to engage while offering opportunities for deeper thinking. 032
Lou H-S @loumaths.bsky.social · 07/02/2025What a fantastic three days with teachers exploring how best to facilitate children’s mathematical creativity. My favourite quote and for me most indicative of our #mathsnoproblem schools is, ‘Even our low attainers do well on the reasoning paper’. 221
