What's happening in the permutation and combination formulas? Let's make sense of them!

@greg_ashman @EducationHQ_AU It must be getting pretty lonely in the AERO corner - never mind if it’s evidence they don’t agree with it will just be ignored ……

Retrieval practice seems to be generally better than restudy, but maybe making deliberate errors is even better: https://t.co/6UhRQ7E3VM ($)

It is my belief that it is possible to teach most people how to teach within about a term or two.

The simple fact is that our educational training infrastructure does not achieve this in the great majority of cases, and generally substantially overshoots that time frame.

I'm looking forward to reading the paper when it is available (and a little bit irritated that the article appeared before the paper is available)

[Justin Baeder, PhD @eduleadership]

This is a pretty big deal. The evidence for inclusion may be a lot more limited than advocates have been saying.

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

@greg_ashman Yeah and the ones trying to work out who is the biggest wanker!

[Melinda Bright @Maurs_5]

As we end the year I am buoyed by thinking about all of the quiet students in our schools who have achieved amazing things this year. Focusing on the joy moments to end the year

@alisa_stephens All the best with the move!

@effortfuleduktr There's also this paper on "the unpleasantness of thinking" from the same team. Version of record here: https://t.co/g0L1ET1Ysh ($) and a pdf here: https://t.co/Hl1slSU2uk

Meta-analysis of 35 papers concludes "when learners perceive higher levels of mental effort, they exhibit lower learning (confidence) judgments, which relates to lower actual learning outcomes": https://t.co/7znKIPiNs7. Not necessarily a causal relationship, but interesting.

Teacher needs to know the answer… not sure about this - only if they can shut up and not tell the kids! #MANSW

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

The RESOLVE odd/even task would make a nice Ext 2 proof activity /assessment task :) #MANSW

[Meagan Rodda @meaganrodda]

Do you allow learners to move past holes? #MANSW24

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

Awesome idea - telling Maths stories to engage SLSOs #MANSW

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

Great way of getting to the kids - work with SLSOs to build positive dispositions and confidence #MANSW

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

How to build non- routine problems - great approach by ⁦@LeesMiriam⁩ #MANSW

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

Why we must include non- routine problems in Stage 6 #MANSW

[SimonBorgert @SimonBorgert]

Great discussion ⁦@LeesMiriam⁩ #MANSW
