So glad this paper is finally online! We found no differences in math anxiety across overt and covert timing conditions but students reported higher math anxiety on complex problems compared to simple problems.

Its out! Overall students report higher math anxiety on complex math tasks and no differences on overt or covert timed conditions. Students with med/high math anxiety report more math anxiety on complex tasks under covert timing. @kathrinmaki authors.elsevier.com/c/1jTsN…

And the mark needed in maths to reach the expected standard has dropped below 50% for first time this year. Hardly mastery of the full curriculum even for those who have reached the heady standard of 49%.

Update: Education minister @CMcKinnellMP says 'despite the brilliance of our teachers, these figures show there are far too many pupils who are not meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, and almost total stagnation in progress nationally'

There is so much which has improved beyond recognisition in primary maths teaching over the last decade, but we are fighting a bloated curriculum and further progress needs a real slimming down of content.

Am well aware how much KS2 SATs draw on knowledge of mult and div facts, but still quite stark seeing this year's arith calcs which use them set out together

Interestingly none use 11 or 12 times table facts. Wish they would just get those out of curric and MTC. Feels like a waste of teaching time which could be redirected to getting all children fluent in single digit facts.

Would love to see the relationship between KS2 maths SATs scores and MTC scores if KS1 attainment is controlled for. Think current Y3 and 4 will be only cohorts who have all three data points?

Recently heard the phrase ‘protective factors’ used in relation to children continuing to enjoy and achieve in maths. It’s stuck in my head as v useful and want to attribute it correctly. Was it from either of your work on KS3 @SmartJacques @dmthomas90?

On a VERY stormy day about 10 years ago I was incredibly lucky to spend a career changing day with Anne Watson.

And here is my fractions vase – one of my most prized teaching tools. It’s surprisingly hard to find a transparent straight sided vase, so buy one if you see one. You won’t regret it!

So a big thank you to Anne, her ‘stuff’ and her chauffeur. It gives me great satisfaction, 10 years on, to see the fruits of that day being written deep into national maths resources. Give them a go! @edsouthall
