The interim report of the curriculum review is out. Some recognition of need to better balance breadth and depth (not specific to mathematics tho - see screenshot from p. 21). Absolutely no sign of budging on the MTC in Y4 disappointingly.

Last one from the last few months. Following one of Ameet Hindocha's analysis in his wonderful 'twelve twelves' book. I'm copying his example here and love how the positive/negative colourings draw the eye to different features.

Two different colours variations on Samira mian's pattern from April 24. Both now hanging in the office.

This one took forever! Green and gold 2-layer pattern: 8&12 pointed stars inside a larger 8-pointed star and cross tiling. Taken from Ameet Hindocha's 'twelve twelves'.

Three variations of Samira mian's 4-fold tiles from the Alcazar of Seville

Delighted that education and teacher training are no. 2 in the UK in the guardian university rankings.
