My first speaking session since leaving my role at Twinkl. Feels weird but strangely enjoyable to be preparing to speak at the next Complete Mathematics conference #Mathsconf41 using my old style PowerPoint template, rather than the Twinkl template.

Title slide with title "Time to revisit...probability" and my information for the session I am delivering at the upcoming Complete Mathematics Conference for LaSalle Education in Liverpool.

Last month I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with @marymyatt.bsky.social Myatt for the Twinkl Educational Publishing 'Leading With' podcast to talk all things curriculum, including how leaders can improve their curriculum.

A wonderful afternoon delivering my sessions at the @barnsleycollege #Maths FE meet today. People seem genuinely enthused at the potential impact of a few carefully chosen models and representations to support learners to make sense of mathematical structure.

Very excited to announce that I have had my first article, 'On the flipping of coins', and co-written with my former pupil & maths PhD candidate Ashleigh, published in the @amiemathematics.bsky.social's journal 'The Mathematical Gazette'. Read the article here: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/XWV7W...

Can partnering with universities help close maths attainment gaps? It would appear so! I sat down with Cath Moore and Philip Chaffe from @meimaths.bsky.social and Matthew Lucas from @ucl.ac.uk in the latest Twinkl 'Leading With' podcast to discuss an exciting project they have been working on.

It's @lasalleed.bsky.social #mathsconf Friday! One of my favourite days of the year, getting to see plenty of old friends and colleagues for the social drinks before #mathsconf40. Not even this grey, drizzly British weather can dampen my spirits!

An early start on a miserable morning to get down to London for the first @amiemathematics.bsky.social members day. But that just means the day can only get better! Especially when I get to catch up with the lovely Emma Bell and @learningmaths.bsky.social (amongst many others I am sure).

Not one but two chances to listen to me talk about aspects of teaching mathematics next month - on two consecutive days! Click the links in the first comment to sign up for either one or both of the sessions. What better way to start your week with a double-dose of talking about maths?!

Absolutely fantastic day at @mathshorizons.bsky.social talking with people about teaching problem solving in maths. Big thanks to @drhelendrury.bsky.social, @edsouthall.bsky.social (and the other members of the team) for hosting such a wonderful get together and discussion.
