I might be mid holiday in Mooloolaba. Australia, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to teach a pattern lesson to Y2 children and squeeze in a staff meeting on pattern 😁 #powerofpattern

What a privilege to present at the Joint ATM/MA Primary Group Meeting today. So much enthusiasm for the #spatialreasoning (SR) work that we are doing. Watch this space for: @royalsociety SR report; KS2 SR trajectory; SR progression. Thanks @easternmaths for the invitation.
The @royalsociety Primary & Early Years Expert Panel Report: Spatial Reasoning @ekfarran & Sue Gifford. Interesting & critical work!

Absolutely agree about the importance of pattern and spatial reasoning. For our evidenced-based spatial reasoning resources see: Spatial reasoning platform: surrey.ac.uk/spatial-reasoni… Spatial reasoning toolkit: earlymaths.org/spatial-reaso… @EChildhoodMaths

Pattern and spatial reasoning are two of the main predictors of children’s later success in school. Why not have a go this spatial reasoning activity using Cuisenaire rods 🟥🟩🟥🟥 Our summer term Reception resources are releasing very soon - stay tuned! #eyfs #reception #wrm

If there is only one interview to watch, it is this one. Anne Watson and John Mason discuss their lasting truths about mathematics teaching. I won't revel any spoilers - watch it for yourselves! youtube.com/watch?v=bMx1hagg… #thereislightattheendoftherainbow
