I love stuck and split and have supported them from the start. Incredible job opportunity for the right person too.

Well done for winning the Spirit of the Games award at the year 5&6 basketball competition this week. It is always lovely to hear about how supportive our pupils are & how hard they always try regardless of the results of their matches. Keep being the best version of yourselves.

The first article in a new 4-parter revealing #coaching approaches to support staff with creating a sustainable work life balance!

Multiplication Facts, supporting teachers to provide opportunities for pupils to develop a strong mental map of multiplication facts through repeatedly noticing, articulating & deriving connections between known & unknown facts bit.ly/ATMmultfacts #newfromATM

I like the use of the framework here with the maths example, would be good for discussing errors and method choices not just with pupils but also with other teachers.

Outer and Inner tasks. The "outer task" is the explicit instructions you give to pupils. The "inner task" is the mathematical ideas you want pupils to encounter and notice. Here's a nice example I use all the time. #1001MathsBots

Finally got around to reading the working paper on Professional Development and Cognitive Load by @Josh_CPD @ollie_lovell and @ArielleBoguslav with @Steplab_co Excellent! A must read for PD/T&L Leads. We have such a growing body of research around classroom practice, PD, how to improve it, and what does and doesn’t work! We need to purposefully act on it now. steplab.co/resources/profess…

The response to this poem across all platforms has blown me away. Thank you to everyone for sharing and for your kind words. The fact it has resonated with so many people is incredibly moving. So much love ❤️❤️❤️

First time using resources from the @LboroDME LUMEN curriculum today and this task was excellent! @TFrancome @cjshore @colinfoster77 . Black writing is pupils work, I added the red as we looked at them under the visualiser as a class.

📢 Ok, get this...at @SparxMaths we've created the most AWESOME GCSE Crossover Workbooks (1 per strand) to support revision for those Qs that appear on both Foundation and Higher tiers. All you've got to do is like and retweet this and I'll send you your FREE copy next week 📢

Printable bar models. Super simple to use, great for building fluency. I'll often set the whole to 180 (like in the screenshot) before starting work on angles. mathsbot.com/printables/bars

Interesting study on the relationship between cognitive load and motivation: - Cognitive load is not a neutral factor, context matters. - "easy" tasks are not always low-effort if students lack interest in the topic. - Specifically, low motivation (in the form of disinterest) can increase cognitive load due to the need for motivational self-regulation. mdpi.com/2227-7102/14/10/104…

Build a strong sense of estimation alongside skills and you have a mathematician.

Today as Assistant Director of Maths for @LHTrustLeics I attended day 1 of my training to become an accredited School Development Lead for @NCETM. Excellent day looking at implementing sustainable change to improve maths in schools, facilitated by among others @A_mcgeeney

Great use of your PD budget.
