Saw some very enthusiastic learners at Holwell last week, demonstrating how second-nature it is for them to use the manipulatives. Every table has a box and pupils reach for whatever resource they think might be helpful.
Thank you @HolwellHerts for letting me share!

FOMA -Fear of Maths Accountability. When filling in boxes gets in the way of planning. https://t.co/zJqULWUb6z

[nicola randall @nicrandall]

@Hertsmaths Agreed. The crucial bit of planning is what impact it has on pupils learning.
