Professor, education researcher @uclknowledgelab - designing, scaling & sustaining technology- policy design and teacher professional learning - AND mathematics
What a loss. Afzal's understanding and enabling of teacher as researcher put teachers as knowledge creators, not mere imparters. LAMP & RAMP were periods of teacher empowerment. And, with a huge consequential impact on pupils becoming mathematicians.
Kwaheri rafiki yangu.
It is with great sadness that I pass on that emeritus Prof Afzal Ahmed, died on 6 March. His legacy is in thousands of teachers/advisers he taught... and, of course the belief that mathematics can always be "Better"! @ATMMathematics@IMAmaths@Mathematical_A@BSRLM_maths

Mathematical insight is key to understanding the world around us and our impact on it.
We've developed a number of resources that use climate and sustainability as a context for mathematical learning.

On Tuesday 18 July, we'll question the Minister of State for Schools @NickGibbUK.
We'll quiz the Minister on:
the Government's plans for maths to 18📊

"...when used effectively, calculators are associated with improved mental and written calculation skills" reports @thejmcuk
I agree, but calculator use is largely discouraged for under 11s. Time for a rethink?

Are you a maths teacher interested in developing statistics teaching in your department?
I am conducting some PhD research and looking for maths departments in English schools to sign up. More info here: 👇
