Hoping one day that we introduce multiplication to all chdn by exploring products, and finding ways we can split them up into equal parts.

It's what we at FunKey are advocating, and love it that @SticknSplit think the same! @Ms_Mathsteacher @MathsFin @louiseseeley @MrValencia24

@branwenjeffreys And of course, there are all the schools who got “Safeguarding effective” when they were genuinely not safe for children. There’s another massive story to be uncovered by someone, please! I can start your list.

This yr 1 class love Numberblocks & this little lady had a Numberblocks themed birthday party & then donated her homemade characters to the class! She wanted them all to enjoy them. Little gestures from little people make all the difference 😍

@MathsFin @NJC_Ed_Maths @GillKnight1 @HyperHelga @suzannelflannel Exactly! They didn't explain what it means - just gave a "sophisticated" way to work it out. And of course, the "trick" of doubling and halving is not useful when the initial calculation is so easy! The new calculation is so much harder!

Me: "Can you explain to me what 5 x 3 means?"
Year 4 child: "Double 5 and half of 3"
🙃🙃🙃 A new one for my collection!!

@missmatich @NJC_Ed_Maths @MathsFin @GillKnight1 @HyperHelga @suzannelflannel Definitely, but as you say, badly expressed. But they are still describing an answer (albeit a sophisticated one) rather than explaining meaning.

Good job FunKey Mentors! 👏👏👏

This question on 2023 SATS paper is clearly wrong @educationgovuk You cannot put a square number on the line. You’ve obviously realised this so have put an option in the mark scheme whereby children can cross out a part of the question. Every child deserves compensatory mark.

Making time to play with money is a great investment. £1, 10p and 1p coins are still my favourite way to tackle place value! 😀

@dave_mcpartlin Defo!

#SATsweek is over, and primaries are facing the next statutory maths test #MTC

Look and learn!

If you haven't yet experienced the power of the colours and shapes on the 59 FunKey #timestables cards, then grab a pack for £10 or 6 packs for £50. https://t.co/1tpTCaT18N

Some kids need a different way of doing things. Visual cues and 15 games might be it.

[FunKey Maths @FunkeyMaths]

Sick and tired of #timestables tests? Try games instead.
Grab 6 packs of FunKey TT cards for £50 https://t.co/SwbrGqKvCI

Maths games are the gateway to so much: peer support, oracy practice, development of social skills, laughter! @jennyfield6 @SmartJacques @MathsFin
