A very interesting article from fft around disadvantaged pupils and their progress (or lack of it) in maths. Worth reading and pondering. How can we address this more effectively?

#mathstoday. Colleague taught powers (yr7) today. Ss had to identify base, index, power & write in expanded form. Moved from integer bases, to negatives, decimals, fractions & variables. Final question had variable raised to a variable. Ss didn’t know the expanded form but the ideas were beautiful!
