Until 31 January 2018, I was one of Her Majesty's Inspectors and Ofsted's National Lead for Mathematics. Now largely retired, my views are entirely my own.

@MichaelOllerton @MahnazSiddiqui @2358Peter @NCETM @ATMMathematics @Simon_Gregg @CoreMathsCat @EmathsUK @MariaChambersm @NWmathshub3 @maths_and_more @pdLouiseP @robeastaway @Killenp 😀Had a quiet year mathematically ... beginning to resurface and couldn’t resist Mahnaz’s post. I hope all’s well with you too?

@MahnazSiddiqui @MichaelOllerton @2358Peter @NCETM @ATMMathematics @Simon_Gregg @CoreMathsCat @EmathsUK @MariaChambersm @NWmathshub3 @maths_and_more @pdLouiseP @robeastaway @Killenp Thinking of progression in generalising these areas leads me to rectangle first, then parallelogram (formula linked to rectangle to give area bh) then triangle (sliced on diagonal to give 1/2bh) with advantage that long diagonal gives "leany over" obtuse-angled triangle case. 1/2

@Mathematical_A I felt so honoured to have been asked ... and delighted to accept! Thank you.

[Jane Jones @JaneJonesHMI]

So proud of your and grateful for you and all your colleagues nationally! 👏👏

@annemathswatson And to you and John!

[Dr Debbie Morgan CBE @ThinkingMaths]

Well done Numberblocks!

[Jane Jones @JaneJonesHMI]

@MichaelOllerton This trick has limited application, is not generalisable, and Is divorced from depth of understanding.

[Jane Jones @JaneJonesHMI]

@MichaelOllerton Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

Survey available until tomorrow. Have your say!

[The Mathematical Association @Mathematical_A]

The MA's Teaching Committee invite you to take part in a short survey about the Year 4 Multiplication Check.

The survey is aimed at Primary colleagues who participated in the pilot Multiplication Check Trial in 2019.

A maths meme that is actually funny rather than stupid:
Solve carefully!
230 - 220 x 0.5 =

You probably won’t believe it but the answer is 5!

@AccomplishEdu @MichaelOllerton @teacherhead @mrbartonmaths @JaneJonesHMI @rosemkeating @easternmaths ...and here's how I woiuld do it...from Japanese texts.....(together with a really nice page of umbrellas)

@MccreaEmma Hi Emma. Sorry missed this earlier ...

[Jane Jones @JaneJonesHMI]

@NAMA_UK Looking forward to it ... I think!

[Pip - Mathematics @AccomplishEdu]

Have you booked your place at the @NAMA_UK conference in Manchester? Some great speakers - includes @annemathswatson @JaneJonesHMI @AliClarkWilson @easternmaths See you there. #namaamet19
