👩‍🏫Teaching #maths? ⏰Don't miss next week's FREE NRICH maths teacher webinars exploring the key problem-solving skills of conjecturing and generalising Primary - Tues 18th Secondary - Wed 19th Both events run 1600-1650 BST nrich.maths.org/events Access at Trinity College, University of Cambridge

A final workshop earlier today with BBO Maths Hub ECTs who have completed the first phase of their SKTM Work Group. A new module on adaptive teaching has allowed me to work on…my adaptive teaching. As with classes of children, every group of teachers have their own CPD needs.

Working with Year 4s in Oxford yesterday to explore a grouping structure for division - linking use of a 1-100 bead string and a number line representation. Children’s mathematical thinking below shows different degrees of fluency with flexibility. Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust

These reversible maths frames from Cosy Direct are an excellent resource to explore comparison and composition of number. Objects can selectively be placed on the reversible frames. See: cosydirect.com/understanding-…

Joe and I network along with Helen Lynch. He is now available for consultancy on a full time basis.

Fancy a new creative planning unit to try before the end of term? Three units are available now aimed at years 1,2 and 3, with a Y5,6 unit coming next week! innovateducation.co.uk/digital-produc…

Team teaching lessons with Year 4 at Eton Porny School yesterday morning. 1) Using representations to understand relationships between different fractions. 2) Making connections between equivalent fractions - of shapes and within the linear number system. Jonathan Hall

Exploring pattern with Battle Primary Academy. Can you identify the unit of repeat? Can you continue a pattern that ends mid unit? Nathan Crook

⛱️ There's NRICH maths Summer Challenges for everyone to explore this summer: Under 5s nrich.maths.org/14588 Under 7s nrich.maths.org/14579 Under 11s nrich.maths.org/14580 Under 14s nrich.maths.org/14569 Under 16s nrich.maths.org/14570 Under 18s nrich.maths.org/14571

We are pleased to announce our first CPD Saturday of the next academic year on 21st September. See below the link for more details about the session. Members can get booked on, whilst others are welcome to join.

Wishing everyone working in schools and education generally a restful summer break when it arrives - if it hasn’t already. Many thanks to all of my colleagues and clients for another fulfilling year. I’m looking forward to working with everyone again from September.

Kicking off the new school year with several INSETs. One, with a focus on problem solving at the Europa School UK, explored use of light green and black Cuisenaire rods. Teachers explored the biggest number that can’t be made by adding the value of the rods - justifying responses.

Investigating pattern during two INSETs in Slough and Windsor on Tuesday. We mostly used natural resources but explored use of man made resources towards the end. #cpdmaths

Join me to discover how to take all children deeper in maths in KS1 and kS2 👇👇👇 Nathan Crook Julie Sargent

As Pip - Mathematics says, this software provides children with a chance to purposefully practise times-table fact recall, whilst the bar models are useful representations to see. Children can work on the maths without any speed anxiety. Ian Frost - following our recent meeting.

Working with Y4-8 teachers in Oxford to explore use of TTS Resources algebra tiles and Mathigon software to model connected mathematical thinking. Thanks to Pip - Mathematics for the guidance around how best to link progressive Key Stage 2 learning to algebra in Key Stage 3.

Calling all maths subject leaders and teachers in Key Stage 1/beyond. Much time has been spent constructing this high quality resource to support diagnostic assessment. 👇
