Money Saving Expert @MartinSLewis explains why it’s important to be “tooled up” with number knowledge.

@Nat_Numeracy Happy #NationalNumeracyDay – what an important subject, something I have researched extensively - https://t.co/4Hm6j6Wvcy

[Shirley Conran @mathsanxiety]

Talking of #NationalNumeracyDay - in 2018, I commissioned an Ipsos MORI poll to support our Maths Anxiety Trust campaign https://t.co/4Hm6j7e646

Delighted that there is a #NationalNumeracyDay - now tomorrow!

“I love maths because it’s elegant, because of the challenges it creates...” @mikeaskew26 #MathsAnxiety Summit

[Shirley Conran @mathsanxiety]

.@mikeaskew26 asks, when people talk about hating maths, is it is maths or school mathematics that’s being talked about? #MathsAnxiety Summit

[Wellbeing Maths CIC @WellbeingMaths]

Acting CEO Michelle Wildman @Parentkind suggests we may need a reframing of maths for girls in particular given our very low uptake of higher maths by girls @mathsanxiety @joboaler

[Shirley Conran @mathsanxiety]

Michelle Wildman from @Parentkind argues that we need role models to champion maths and we need a new infrastructure to demystify the way maths is taught so that parents understand it. #MathsAnxiety Summit

[Shirley Conran @mathsanxiety]

. @dr_tom_hunt & @Dave_Shef looked at #MathsAnxiety in teachers and anxiety around teaching maths. One study found that teachers’ anxiety predicted pupils’ maths achievement. And high maths anxious teachers predicated worse maths achievement among girls!

[Gideon Sappor @GideonSappor]

The notion boys are better than girls in maths is a myth #MathsAnxiety

[Parentkind @Parentkind]

@AlisonMPeacock from the chartered college of teaching stresses the need to resist labelling children & ourselves so we can learn without limits at tonight’s #mathsanxiety summit

[. @breanainn]

Transformability - what we do now impacts future achievement. Dame Alison Peacock - children respond well to choosing their own level of challenge. Agency Trust Inclusion to avoid #MathsAnxiety

[Shirley Conran @mathsanxiety]

Maths Anxiety is a vicious cycle - @dr_tom_hunt and @Dave_Shef speaking at the #MathsAnxiety Summit

[Shirley Conran @mathsanxiety]

.@AlisonMPeacock talks about the importance of fostering a culture of confidence and “risk taking” and “playing with ideas” in classrooms #MathsAnxiety Summit
