@MarieJo28297730 and I are delighted to share our report for @thejmcuk building on the @royalsociety ‘s Mathematical Futures thinking. It’s a vision, it’s ambitious! Link and 🧵👇🏽
@marksandspencer bought a cheese twist this morning @StPancrasInt at 1116. Shelf label says £1.50. Checkout price £1.70. Store manager arranged refund of 20p and removed label from shelf. I returned at 1353 and store manager has reinstated label. Still showing wrong price!
Our fifth and final investigation has launched. In this investigation, we want to explore how well our 5-18 maths curriculum and assessment is preparing students for the world of work.
Good results for England on TIMSS. Maybe this allows us to focus on challenges:
- maths GCSE resits
- KS3 geometry, keep maths more diverse than algebra stats
- liking maths (so students continue with it), see grades 4 8, and valuing maths grade 8 TIMSS 2023
Excited to share that - in collaboration with Cambridge and London UCL IoE colleagues - I've just secured another large grant (this time from The Leverhulme Trust) to expand my Maths Through Stories body of research. Read more here: mathsthroughstories.org/news…
@Se_Railway most mornings the 0801 from FKW to St P is like this once it leaves Ashford. A fault on the 0801 meant Ashford people finally got first dibs of seats on replacement unit. £50 to sit on the floor of the most prestigious piece of railway infra structure. 1/2

How to Turn Maths Fear into Excitement
(A favourite strategy)
For too many students, maths is a source of fear.
And it’s a subject where you’re either right or you’re wrong. You’re good or bad.
Cart Sort Tasks are a powerful strategy to help students see maths differently.
It has been interesting and informative to participate in England’s Curriculum & Assessment Review Regional Roadshow event today in Folkestone led by Professor Becky Francis CBE (@BeckyFrancis7).
The review so far is doing an excellent job engaging numerous stakeholders to help shape the future of education. It is imperative to contribute your views if you haven’t already done so as the ‘curriculum is a public good’.
It seems to me that there are so many competing interests and complexities for the panel to navigate whilst simultaneously preserving high standards and promoting social justice. #education#curriculum#equity@AspirationsAT
Some depressing results from the Maths Horizon project mathshorizons.uk/post/teache…
Teachers think fewer than half of their students can reason mathematically. Half of eyfs/KS1 students enjoy maths and are curious but this drops to around 15% at secondary according to TeacherTapp.
A new report, A vision for meaningful data education across the four nations of the UK has just been released and is available on our website: jmc.org.uk/wordpress-cms/wp-…
