Maths lead 🔢

Ok five years ago I sent out a load of micro tips for new teachers getting ready for September.

By popular demand (literally nobody) here they are again!

[Nick Hart @MrNickHart]

Maths worded problems.

The importance of teaching underlying structure to aid understanding and avoid misconceptions.

🧵 The more I think about it, the more counting and place value are to early maths what phonics is to early reading. You simply can’t ‘decode’ maths without them. And I don’t mean simple recitation of number names or surface level naffing about with place value cards

Odd One Out 🔢
Today we enjoyed having a go at spotting the odd one out. This led to some fascinating conversations about the different things that were 'odd'. The whole, the part or the missing part?
Love to see young children having a go at tasks like this. ✅

Fact Families in Year 1 today. Slowly building up to all 8 facts. Lovely to see my year 1 children enjoying maths as much as me!

Very proud of my Year 1s this morning. They spotted some patterns and were able to discuss these. Some even moved on to writing their observations. Looking forward to our next I See Maths challenge tomorrow! @gareth_metcalfe

@WhiteRoseMaths @WhiteRoseMaths We use Power Maths alongside White Rose resources and happy to chat and share. 🔢

Can't wait to get stuck into these samples with Year 2 this week!

[Gareth Metcalfe @gareth_metcalfe]

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

@gareth_metcalfe Very excited to get these into our Year 2 classes this week! Thank you for another fantastic resource!

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

Thanks you to @Eton_CIRL and all of the speakers. I look forward to the next forum.

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

A very useful afternoon at @Eton_CIRL
Excellent CPD for all with a lot of reflection on the importance of getting research projects into real live classrooms and using the evidence to inform and improve teaching and learning for all. 📚

Really enjoyed talking to another group of students from @PCP_SCITT about remote learning and the learning situations schools are facing at the moment. 💻👩‍🏫

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

@JenniferC_O @gareth_metcalfe Looks fantastic (as always)! Will definitely be using these for my own CPD this year!

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

@EmilyT21417 @Mr_Keyte Yes!

So, we all wonder how we're going to keep children reading over summer when they're not in school and there are lots of summer reading challenges, which look great, but we've made our own focusing on diverse and inclusive texts from Reception up to Year 11.

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

Love this one- so much involved here!

[Gareth Metcalfe @gareth_metcalfe]

Enjoyed this one a lot, so much thinking and explaining involved! Have a look at my previous tweets this week to see the other ‘task family’ activities that built up to this.

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

@gareth_metcalfe I have been thinking about the freedom they have had at home to manage their work and how I could replicate that in some ways in school. Also to 'Be More Toddler' in class and just enjoy it all. @Emma_Turner75

[Jen Mulvany @14Mulvany]

This session definitely got me thinking about what I want my classroom to look like going forward from this year. Lots to think about. Thank you for hosting @gareth_metcalfe

[Gareth Metcalfe @gareth_metcalfe]

Loved the first Heartbeat of Education chat tonight. Emma, Katy and Mandy were fantastic, talking about the opportunities that lie ahead for us. If you joined in let me know what stood out for you 👍
