Taught maths for 15 years, written 20 books, recorded lots of podcast episodes, created far too many websites, Chief Academic Officer at Eedi.

Between 2022 and 2025, I have the privilege of visiting 2 to 3 schools each week, observing over 100 lessons a month.

I have written up everything I learned in 16 books.

I’m incredibly excited to launch HoD Space with @mrbartonmaths - this is going to be a game changer in secondary school maths departments.

If you want a bit of summertime listening, I really enjoyed this conversation with my good friend @ollie_lovell, where we discussed the We Do and delivering effective CPD. It's also got an explicit language rating, so be warned. Available on the ERRR podcast feed.

We have filled all our school slots now. Thanks so much for your interest.

[Craig Barton @mrbartonmaths]

We're looking for a small number of schools to help shape the next generation of AI maths tutoring, and we're on a very tight deadline (31 July!), so I'm posting in case it reaches the right people. Full details are here: https://t.co/wyVbicde0h

@MrMShackleton Hello, we've actually filled all our school slots now. Thanks so much for your interest.

@tetheredtoed1 Any UK or US-based school.

In possibly the most niche, geeky episode I have ever recorded (and that's saying something), I spoke to @Kris_Boulton about designing a teaching and testing sequence for volume of a prism. Available now on the Mr Barton Maths Podcast.

@giftedHKO This is great, Helen. We need to go global with this. Let me know when you're ready!

[Miss Konstantine @giftedHKO]

@mrbartonmaths I put out my monthly newsletter to my dept about construction. I will have a think about how I can share more widely. Thank you for the chat recently about sharing my newsletter and the best way to do so.

Nice to bump into the co-host of the UK's second most popular education podcast on Friday, @adamboxer1.

[Craig Barton @mrbartonmaths]

@dylanwiliam As I said to you during our chat, I think your stance was a refreshing change from the hyper-confident environment I unfortunately regularly find myself dabbling in. Here's the write-up of our conversation. Thanks again for your time! https://t.co/akJPi92dXm

[Craig Barton @mrbartonmaths]

The latest guest on my AI in Education series is @dylanwiliam. Dylan, as ever, is full of pearls of wisdom, including this one, where he argues that the extra data AI tutors gather about student learning might not be as useful as it seems. Full episode on Mr Barton Maths Podcast.

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

Great interview with @dylanwiliam and @mrbartonmaths on AI in education. https://t.co/i8wyGLiSaY

[Anna Stokke @rastokke]

I really appreciate this AI in Education series from @mrbartonmaths. I agree with the guests on some things, disagree on others and, on some topics, I have no idea what I think right now. It is definitely thought provoking!

[Craig Barton @mrbartonmaths]

@benjaminjelight It's mainly because I use it across all apps. I use it when I'm doing emails, I use it when I'm replying to work colleagues on Slack, I use it across Gemini, I use it across Claude. The more I use it, the better it gets, if that makes sense.

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

The old dividing line in education used to be progressive v traditional (discovery v explicit) but the new divide is rapidly becoming those who see AI as a potential tool for learning and those who see it as the end of days.
One of the few people who are thinking clearly about AI in education today is @Kris_Boulton and this is a conversation with @mrbartonmaths worth listening to for anyone wanting to learn more. https://t.co/WMvwjzBa7Q

[Craig Barton @mrbartonmaths]

I was joined by @Kris_Boulton for a wide-ranging discussion on Alpha School, AI Resource Creation and the role of inquiry in a model of direct instruction. Listen or watch by searching for the Mr Barton Maths podcast.
