We have children that have joined school from Afghanistan this week. We have some who speak Dari & some who speak Pashtu. We've sorted translation but does anyone know what maths learning they may have received previously? (We know the boys & girls had different exleriences)

Calling all friends in maths & maths ed & part. all the amazing teachers + supporters of #CoreMaths please RT/share as widely as possible for all our young people who would benefit from taking these great quals & for UK plc 🙏 royalsociety.org/topics-policy/… royalsociety.org/blog/2022/01/c…

📏 USE A RULER 📏 It’s the Mathematical song you never knew you needed in your life- I’m accompanied by legends playing instruments with rulers as drumsticks, bows, beaters, picks, capos… youtu.be/TBmbugJ82jA Enjoy!

So we've finished making a Y11->A-Level transition pack. I did the Qs myself (sooo fun!)-just what students need to get fluent & prepare for the step-up. I've sent a copy to 600+people who asked (hands sore!). If I've missed you let me know by following SparxMaths + RTing this.
