Pattern block play with heptagons! #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath

Today’s #SpinnerInquiry developments: first, more students added their work to the book, on the chart or in a drawing. Here, TK counts and adds his cube colours to the chart. LJ drew his spinner, adding himself beside it to show he’s testing it on the spinner table we set up. Inspired!

Interested in working on a beautiful island? Teaching maths, while maybe having a view of the sea. How about you apply to come work with me? bit.ly/4lYG52w due to growing school numbers we have a department vacancy. Any experience is welcome including top of scale.

Why the hell are we having to listen to Harry whining on when we have councils about to be taken over by a bunch of right wing fascists?? What now for the poor, the disabled, the ill ? BBC PM

Just listening to @helenjwc.bsky.social discussing #playful #mathematics on the Mathematics Teaching podcast and it is such a delight! I particularly enjoyed ‘this approach has its feet in research’ 😁 open.spotify.com/episode/357e...

I am unsure who this simplistic report from @ofstednews.bsky.social is aimed at? @dan-ofsted.bsky.social ? And no inclusion of any maths research at all 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Delivery from a ppt is not teaching. It needs to be acknowledged that this may well have contributed to the current SEND crisis. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

I’ve had a lovely day helping the KS1 kids at Ilchester Infants school to create this display for the upcoming 80th VE Day celebrations. Our plane only drops flowers . . . imagine. www.darrellwakelam.com #edusky

www.tes.com/magazine/new... 13% of secondary teachers use @oaknational.bsky.social this is behind a paywall- but I would guess it’s even fewer primary teachers (thank goodness). Surely the huge amount of DfE funding must now stop?

A further blow to Ofsted’s school card plans this morning: Education leaders, teachers, former HMI & Professor Julia Waters, sister of headteacher Ruth Perry, have written to the SoS to urge her to delay the proposals, or risk “further, preventable deaths”. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

I want to slow the curriculum down so learning can breath, experiences can be savoured, thoughts turned over, ideas become realities. Why put my foot on the gas? Better to immerse ourselves in the broader landscape, enjoy the company, take the journey well, arrive richer.
