A busy day for the @twinklresources.bsky.social team today, particularly Danielle Davies (with a very early start to get to London) - back to back podcast filming with myself and Karen Stretch both in the studio. Hopefully the journeys home are smooth!

A week to go until my next TeachMeet!

Join me at 4 pm on Wednesday 15th October to examine some different models we use in teaching mathematics, what it means for them to be forward-facing, and which models that we use can be considered forward-facing.

Really excited to be supporting @stoccat.bsky.social this year in developing mathematics teaching across their secondary schools and building on the great work they started last year with Craig Barton.

Back in May www.linkedin.com/in/barry-kea... sent me two A-Level goal free problems.
It has been a long time coming, but I finally managed to find time to get them hosted on my website goalfreeproblems.blogspot.com

My latest article for HMRK magazine is out!
What could a new national curriculum for maths look like?
Read my thoughts here: hwrkmagazine.co.uk/read/
There is a document referenced towards the end of the article that couldn't be linked. The link to that document is here: 1drv.ms/w/c/ac85973c...

Spoiler alert for todays Ooodle Max (although you have less than 4 hours left if you haven't played already!)

My latest blog post is about how my morning routine led me to what I think has the making of a nice mathematical prompt. Read about it here:
