I love my Maths Director team so much, ❤️ they’ve really made my birthday today in lockdown... I joined them for our GoogleMeet to be greeted with them singing me ‘Happy Birthday’ each donning different head-garb 🤣 @OGATrust @YHMathsHub#lockdown#positivethinking
Right folks, I need you! If I get 50 retweets to this post then @tristankp has to play the intro music to the next @OGATrust quiz, don't let me down! #OGATNameThatTune
We have an amazing opportunity for someone who wants to work within a brilliantly supportive network of maths specialists, really teaching for depth and understanding, to truly make a difference to pupil life chances in Barnsley. Come and have a look! https://t.co/1nAxeMaCzp
“If you’re not changing long term memory, students aren’t learning”. The importance of spaced practice and retrieval 💯 #OGAT2018 @OGATrust #Studentsfirst
Anyone who knows me will understand just how much I’m looking forward to the next half an hour of our OGAT conference! @hegartymaths#OGAT2018#studentsfirst
So fired up to further annoy idiots like this by helping thousands more minority kids get into as many damn schools as they want. https://t.co/HDNgQ3h8mC
YES YES YES. A thousand times yes. When we differentiate for ‘lower attainers’ by aiming for less or expecting less of them, we leave them behind. When/how will they catch up? See also: differentiated activities/outcomes like all/most/some or bronze/silver/gold. https://t.co/aWCXEsdnAS
It's taken so long partly because of mistaken if well-meaning assumptions re inclusion. Shared knowledge includes. For too long Ofsted pushed differentiation; in practice this ends up as differentiation by curricular input. Result: worsened *exclusion* from classroom conversation https://t.co/0apR6q15hI
@JamesTheo @natjone93 @C_Hendrick It makes me so sad 😞 The beauty of learning within abstract subjects - Maths for the sake of being able to do maths, passing down discoveries to the next generation and encouraging them to continue their pursuit of knowledge. Is it crazy that I like my maths without application?
