In memory of Vicky Neale, the Clay Mathematics Institute, Oxford Mathematics & XTX Markets have inaugurated a lecture in her name. Tim Harford looks at how data built our world, & how we can use it to build a better one. Book: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/68531

#icme15 pays tribute to the brilliant design work in mathematics education of sadly passed UoN Education colleagues Hugh Burkhardt and Malcolm Swan. Brilliant colleagues who we very much miss in Nottingham ISDDE

EEF And a review published last week found that there is “widespread dissatisfaction” among maths teachers over a lack of subject-specific training EEF tes.com/magazine/news/…

We propose a new post-16 GCSE maths qual to improve resit success and better prepare young people with the maths needed for work and life: mei.org.uk/proposal-for-a… It builds on work funded by Nuffield Foundation to develop an alternative GCSE-level curriculum for maths resit students

To everyone working in education: thank you for all your hard work this year. At Department for Education, we'll get our heads down over summer so that on the other side of the holidays, you have what you need to do your vital work. I hope you enjoy your very well-deserved break 🌞

Great support from The Royal Society Chair of the Education Committee on AL Maths & FMaths. Equally on #CoreMaths with a timely additional message on the importance of what these quals offer & the lack of information on these on results day. Call for action by policy makers please.

Surely MA ATM LMS NANAMIC etc would have some sway with JCQ and get them added? Orgs, eh?
