Great support from @royalsociety Chair of the Education Committee on AL Maths & FMaths.

Equally on #CoreMaths with a timely additional message on the importance of what these quals offer & the lack of information on these on results day.

Call for action by policy makers please.

Only 6 days until the Launch of the LUMEN Curriculum, a complete research-informed set of teaching resources for Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14)! Everything will appear here on Thursday, and for now there's a 3-minute video explaining what it's all about: https://t.co/qGFF4WxMcq

MathsEd folk-some of you will have heard that Hugh Burkhardt our friend and colleague in the Centre for Research in Mathematics Education at Nottingham @UoNSoE sadly passed away at the weekend. Just before his latest book is published.

@Kit_Yates_Maths I taught you well 😊

@CoreMathsTom Nice one Tom. Great opportunity to promote the Core Maths qualifications and excellent student input. Well done all.

Never seen this before: I’m told it’s the Roman symbol for 100,000. I just saw it on an inscription dated c AD50 in Verona. It resembles a pumpkin (thousands of seeds?) or maybe an M with double brackets that each multiply by ten?

Headscratchers, our collection of New Scientist puzzles and the stories behind them, is published today https://t.co/qrqsfNv2Ps

@Kit_Yates_Maths One of the idiosyncrasies of the scoring system is that 30 all appears redundant. Why not call it deuce? Impressed to see another book is on the way.

[Michael Blaylock @MickBlaylock]

@robeastaway Brilliant! Well done!

If you've been hearing a lot about #CoreMaths and wonder why it could be the solution Rishi Sunak is looking for, this short new video sums it up nicely: https://t.co/52oxj5M0Ac

The (only?) three triangles that can be made out of the triangle pairs whose perpendicular sides are in the ratio 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. As used in #jointconf23

@robeastaway @MaryEEllis Brilliant. One more puzzle to add to a daily exercise of Ken Ken, futoshiki etc.

[Rob Eastaway @robeastaway]

A fun little numbers game you can play with the date every day. (#NewScientist puzzle by @MaryEEllis from 31/12/22).

The news this morning is about compulsory maths post-16 but the lack of awareness of Core Maths is really frustrating. I can't see mention of it in any of the articles.

In 2013 Liz Truss/Michael Gove announced their ambition for almost everyone to continue studying maths to 18. And here's what's happened since: https://t.co/eB6qaAcLcu

"..every teacher is an English teacher because every teacher is a teacher in English. We might say that every teacher is a Maths teacher too, rather than shoehorning everything to do with numbers into a box labelled “Maths”." - Sir Adrian Smith, June 2022 https://t.co/3r43nQf7Bk

@Kit_Yates_Maths I don’t know or possibly do?
