Children spend so much time learning their times tables. Why is it important and how can we help them? Take a look at some of the highlights from our latest research! #EduSky #UKMathsChat #PrimaryMaths
Over 600,000 Y4 children in the UK are currently taking the Multiplication Tables Check. Our latest research highlights why learning multiplication facts is important and how to support children's learning www.sumproject.org.uk

Our piece on using and applying multiplication facts is in the latest issue of Impact Journal from @collegeofteaching.bsky.social! Learning multiplication facts is important. Supporting children to see how they connect to wider mathematical ideas is imperative!

Ah January, still here are you? Fab!
Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.
From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.

I will maintain this list for a few weeks if others want to tag people in the thread below that you think should be there, I will add them. There is a delay between new registrations and appearing in the search (when I can add).

New paper with @camillakgilmore.bsky.social now out at doi.org/10.1016/j.co.... A huge amount of blood, sweat and tears has gone into this paper (not to mention many, many hours of deep thought!) and I am so pleased it’s finally published. Summary to follow in the comments. 1/6

Surprising marmite based breakfast inspo! Having said that, I’ll likely stick with butter 😁
Got chatting yesterday to a person who dislikes butter. The conversation naturally moved to "what do you put on toast?" And the answer was "olive oil and marmite"
I'm too scared to try it on the basis of N=1. Any other case studies of this unlikely combo out there? I'm a marmite + butter chap.
