This news from #BBC reminds me of @atmmathematics.bsky.social Easter conf session. Shld curriculum be expressed as ingredients, ingredients & recipes or ready made meals? The risks of ready made meals missing their essential nutrients & perhaps OK only in exceptional circumstances was discussed!

Is this from Conrad Wolfram being considered within the curriculum review? “In real-world maths, computers do almost all the calculating; by contrast, in educational maths, people do almost all the calculating.” "The fundamental problem at the heart of today’s maths education crisis.”

@atmmathematics.bsky.social On the way home after conference. Thanks to the organisers. You made it happen. Gd to be with maths educators for ever pushing the boundaries of possibility to reveal & sustain the mathematician in all learners. Reflecting on Gattegno's 1st presidential address to ATAM

An early start to futureproofingthecurriculum.org.uk It's always refreshing to spend a few days with colleagues who are independent from govt agencies & commercial enterprises. A chance to refocus on the learning of mathematics & to think hard about what that means for curriculum design & teaching.

Does this BBC News clip suggest that the reporter Jeffrey Goldberg is a Trump supporter as he is said to hate those who are anti-Trump?

Second spoiler alert for my session at the upcoming conference. futureproofingthecurriculum.org.uk A curriculum should hint at direction of travel - progression if you will. But what do we mean by progression?

12 days leave coming to an end. 3 books read. Recommend them all. Spanish vocabulary slightly extended. Sudoku'd out.

You've heard of reservoir dogs. Here's the sequel: parallel dogs.
