This week we held our primary conference, 'Courageous Teaching', at the King Power. It was wonderful to see our incredible staff together, rested & refreshed.

A special thank you to Diana Osagie, who inspired us to ask BIG questions. Here's to another fantastic year!

In the KS2 Maths SATS 2024, 49% marks were needed for children to meet ARE. The arithmetic paper is 36% of the marks. This has very real consequences for children's experience of primary mathematics. Thoughts?

Teaching some vs teaching all. This is where the action for improvement lies. https://t.co/mnWYPon7JU via @teacherhead > I’d say most issues
in teaching come down to this challenge.

Oak and Willow Class have enjoyed learning about Odd and Even numbers in many fun ways! They have noticed patterns within numbers and were able to apply their new learning when actively learning in the provision #BCPSEYFS

[BraunstoneCPS @braunstone_cps]

Oak and Willow Class have been developing their knowledge and understanding of repeating patterns. The children have demonstrated these in many ways and loved showcasing these to their adults and friends 🟧🟦🟧🟦🟧🟦 #BCPSEYFS #BCPSmaths

After years of facilitating SCITT, I led my last and final session today. We focused on adapting our teaching to the needs of our pupils, how to distinguish misconceptions from accidental errors & deliver effective #maths interventions. It’s been a pleasure @leicesterscitt

[Claire Mulhern @CMulhernMaths]

What an incredible evening exploring good practice in adaptive teaching. We explored the EEF 5-a-day principles then broke out into phase-specific workshops to focus on practical application. Collaboration at its best! @Discoverytrust

[Claire Mulhern @CMulhernMaths]

With over a hundred colleagues now expected at our 'Adaptive Teaching in Maths' TeachMeet on Thursday, we are now fully booked.

Very much looking forward to bringing class teachers together to share good practice in inclusive maths lessons. #inclusion #maths @Discoverytrust

Today, comparing the questions and matching to the bar models. It helped to discuss whether the answer to each question was more or less than 15:

This is one of the more difficult concepts to show using a pictorial representation. Maths Bot smashed it!

No surprises but this is a useful confirmation that mathematical vocabulary matters. #maths #edutwitter

Analysis of 1,657 4th/5th grade lessons in 317 classrooms in 4 districts finds "students’ exposure to mathematical language varies substantially across lessons" and students make more progress in classrooms where teachers use more mathematical language: https://t.co/F1inF0wLLO
