This is the downside of over simplified ‘gamification’. Also the misrepresentation of maths as a performance subject rather than a thinking subject.

[Conrad Wolfram @conradwolfram]

Most maths apps aren’t teaching the #maths skills children actually need (incentivised or not). They force them to function like a computer rather than actually think like a human should.

@NCTM My math hero is @joboaler. She made me think about this subject in a completely different way.

[Alice Gaskell @AliceHGaskell]

@robinince I would absolutely watch this!

[Alice Gaskell @AliceHGaskell]

Well said. We should absolutely educate the whole child, but, teachers can’t fix society one child at a time with the few hours a day we have them (while teaching over-complicated and unnecessary academic concepts). Where is the parental responsibility for raising good citizens?

The instinctive response of many people when confronted with a social problem is 'get schools to fix it' – that has to change, says @Henry_Hepburn

@robinince… Also! When’s the next series of the @themonkeycage coming?!

[Alice Gaskell @AliceHGaskell]

@robinince if there are infinite bubble universes in the multiverse, what is in between? Does time exist in between the bubbles? How would one travel between them? Is it a bit like traveling beyond the galactic barrier in Star Trek?!

[Alice Gaskell @AliceHGaskell]

@theprimaryhead Surely commenting on table arrangement (like commenting on teacher talk-time) is only relevant of it directly relates to the learning taking place.

[Alice Gaskell @AliceHGaskell]

These are fantastic!

The latest Espresso is here! A really important take on negative numbers and the misconceptions that arise from children conceptualising them as akin to fractions and decimals. Some awesome ideas for models too! https://t.co/Dqu3iQJvYH @CambridgeMaths #Mtbos

Well done KLASS Lions and @BWinterKL ! https://t.co/Id8JZMJSYl
