'In every way a lively, intelligent and creative boy, he is innumerate. For this harmless failing ...' Would you say the same of an illiterate child of the same age? This exemplifies the problem adult society has with maths, and why children fear it so. amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

📣 It’s Hannah Fry week on BBC2 📣 Let me take care of Maths lessons for the week with a different mind expanding episode every day at 2pm on BBC2 #homeschooling

THREAD on the Ofqual consultation. The exams situation is a fiasco on top of a debacle. Yes - loads of kids have missed out on schooling. That is bad. Yes - the provision across the system is the most unequal it has been in living memory. That is bad.

✳ Coming soon ✳ Next week, we'll be releasing a brill maths transition pack, with space for workings & answers for marking. It's got 100 SparxMaths Qs over 12 key maths topics differentiated to support all students preparing to start y7. RT if you want me to send you a copy

OK, so the Y6/7 transition packs were soooooo popular, that I was thinking of asking the unbelievable content design team SparxMaths to create a booklet/course to support for y11/12 transition (i.e. getting ready for AS). If a good idea, RT this to sigal "yes please I want one"

🚨🚨 Following the success of our free transition books, we are excited to launch our next free resource at the end of this week. Using content from Sparx Maths, we've designed a formative baseline assessment, for your Year 7 students. Retweet this, to be sent the link first.

📢 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 📢

Finishing off the GCSE Paper 3 resources & am incredibly grateful for the kind praise that we've received this year 🤩 As a thanks, we're giving away lots of mugs & pens! 🎁 To enter, RT by 9pm Tues Also schools can make amazing savings in our Summer Sale corbettmaths.com/wp-content/upl…

I attended this last year in advance of teaching A level again for the first time in over 5 years. It was absolutely excellent. Quality presenters and sessions, and a great opportunity to speak to others in a similar position to yourself. Would highly recommend!

Excellent session with Craig Barton! Spot the most common wrong answer! #bcme9

F23: Mathematical etudes takeaways - using rich tasks can be an alternative to exercises, but only if accompanied by excellent questioning - embed skills practise in a wider context, alleviate boredom? - low threshold, high ceiling, easy simplification and extension ideal #bcme9

G04: Misconceptions takeaways - mistakes easily develop into misconceptions, but a difference - isolate key pieces of knowledge and vary the topics in your interleaving - overgeneralisation! - misconceptions never disappear from long term memory #mindblown #bcme9 Craig Barton

H02: 'Something in common' takeaways - look for problems that contain some kind of invariance - exploit the invariance by modifying the other parameters - ensure that students can't freeload and that you can easily check as a teacher, genius! - a tonne of great resources! #bcme9

Berinderjeet Kaur takeaways: - a mathematics framework composed of concepts, skills, processes, attitudes and metacognition building both conceptual understanding and fluency - quality instructional materials provided - teachers entitled to 100 hours of paid CPD per year! #bcme9

An amazing experience at my first conference #bcme9! So much great stuff to use in the classroom. Now time to sleep for a week. Looking forward to the next one!
