David Thomas citing @UoNSoE Maths Pipeline Report at the #theMathsSummit. How do we encourage more young people to stay engaged with maths for longer?

Sir Adrian Smith calling for reform of post-16 qualifications to a more baccalaureate approach. The country needs more students studying maths post-16. #theMathsSummit

The Observatory for Mathematical Education is 1 of #100ways UoN is changing the world, supporting the national improvement of the maths education system, from early years to postgraduate level. @UoNMaths

@cbokhove @SmartJacques @UoNSoE We're planning three longitudinal cohort studies comprising national surveys and institutional case studies. One will start with year 7 and track pupils to year 11 so this should give insight to the KS3 dip question.

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

@SmartJacques @cbokhove @UoNSoE Yes, it is on the (long!) list of things to look at. Which specific research questions would be most valuable to answer?

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

Very excited to be deputy director of this new collaboration between @UoNMaths and @UoNSoE, conducting data analysis and longitudinal studies on an unprecedented scale in maths education. Want to be part of it? Apply here: https://t.co/ANaT7Xuall

The University of Nottingham has received funding from @XTXMarkets to establish a new Observatory for Mathematical Education.

The initial £8m grant will support an ambitious longitudinal research programme to help improve maths education.

@UoNMaths are recruiting a researcher to look at transitions into UG maths, with a focus on under-represented groups and the effect of interventions at school and university. Why do some succeed more than others? Apply now! @UoNSoE https://t.co/jLiqReuVZz

Delighted to have published a new report into maths participation and attainment from primary to undergraduate study. Download: https://t.co/TF7ILXK9mV. Co-authors: @andynoyes7 @SmartJacques Thanks to @xtxmarkets and @AlexanderGerko for funding. @UoNMaths @RoyalStatSoc @IMAmaths

I enjoyed working with a great team on writing the Maths, Stats and OR statement. Please tell us what you think via the consultation! #MSOR

[QAA @QAAtweets]

Consultations are now open on 12 draft Subject Benchmark Statements.

These Statements describe the nature of study and the academic standards expected of graduates in specific subject areas.

Closes: Wednesday 2 November

We had our first @UoNMaths education section away day yesterday. Lots of interesting research questions discussed!

@JamesDoesData @JGIBristol @mshedbristol Did Hannah ask you not to use her title in this poster?

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

@peterrowlett At least the question acknowledges there are multiple answers. This week we had "3 x 4 = ? - ?" The answer they were looking for was "48-36" obviously. Cue dejected child because they got the question "wrong" as they didn't pick the 1 in infinity choice of "correct" answer.

@wilkinson_rich If it snows at school, the kids get sent home. So if it snows at home school, the kids go to school? Seems fair to me.

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

@K_Severn If, by "powers", you mean physical force with fists or feet then you are probably correct. Quite how he's caused a global pandemic is still to be determined given he can't even tie his own shoe laces.

Today my 11yo had a nose bleed to which my 4yo casually said "I don't have nose bleeds because I control the earth". 😱

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

@UoNMaths Is this in degrees or radians?

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

@Andyhunter__ @UoNMaths 31 in base 8 (Oct) is the same as 25 in base 10 (Dec).

[Chris Brignell @CBrignell]

@Bicester_Tech @Channel_Talent @UniofNottingham Thanks for hosting me! It was fun! Lots of great ideas on how we can use science to solve problems. If you are interested in Natural Sciences then be sure to follow @SocNatSci. I'm giving another webinar next week for @UoNNatSci if you want more details about our course.

@ReubenODea @ian_dryden There's not much difference between an artist and a shape analyst. Both involve creating something visual and then standing back 6ft and asking "but what does it mean?"
