📣 Another #MathsConf40 workshop announcement!
✨ Learning Maths With Robert Recorde (1577): Variation, Structure, and Symbol Sense by Stephen D. T. Froggatt @StephenFroggatt
Step into a 16th-century classroom with Robert Recorde, the mathematician who introduced the equals sign. His carefully sequenced examples anticipate modern Variation Theory, supporting understanding of powers, roots, algebraic manipulation, and equations.
In this hands-on workshop, delegates will explore Recorde’s original sequences and take away ready-to-use classroom tasks that expose structure, prevent misconceptions, and strengthen symbol sense.
✨ What you’ll take away:
✅ Practical classroom tasks inspired by 450-year-old sequences
✅ Strategies to expose structure and prevent misconceptions
✅ Approaches to strengthen students’ symbol sense
✅ Ideas to deepen conceptual understanding and boost confidence in algebra
See how a historic commercial arithmetic manual can still inspire modern teaching and provide practical strategies for designing examples that make a real impact in the classroom.

Easy takeaway from my Fibonacci Patterns session at #MathsConf36: Pick any Fibonacci number and square it. I predict that the answer is one away from the product of its two neighbours. More #Fibonacci fun in the workshop notes!
