Just a few days left help shape the teaching of Maths. Thanks to all teachers who have taken part so far. If you haven't got a chance yet it would be great to get your insight.

Maths teachers in Ireland: quick question Do you mainly use student prior knowledge to: 1. strengthen prior learning, or 2. prime students for what comes next? I am running an anonymous questionnaire in the next comment (<15 mins) to map what teachers are actually doing daily.

I'm looking forward to delivering CPD sessions with the @imtanational and @IMTACorkBranch on research that I am conducting with @UCCSchoolofEd over the coming weeks.

Brilliant day at the @imtanational Conference in Portlaoise. Great selection of workshops and Tom Crawford's Keynote was excellent. I was delighted to present on the use of Retrieval Practice in Mathematics Teaching based on research with Mark Prendergast and Máire Ní Ríordáin.

Delighted to see this paper published today. In it we see Irish maths teachers say “grinds” are driven by exam pressure, income needs & systemic gaps. Most teachers provide grinds to supplement pay but some worry it worsens inequality & masks deeper issues in maths education.
