We're delighted to launch Problem-solving Schools, a new programme that gives schools actionable steps to increasing problem-solving confidence in their young mathematicians.💡

[Mark McCourt @EmathsUK]

Today’s KS2 maths reasoning paper is a failure at a national level, one which will serve only to put pupils off maths.

There is nothing wrong with tough questions in maths. Mathematicians love the challenge of overcoming difficult problems.

But that’s not the same thing at all as questions that seek to confuse, mislead or hide meaning in meaningless, tiresome contexts.

Show a real mathematician a problem written by someone who is deliberately communicating badly or poking fun by being disingenuous and that mathematician will tell you to bugger off.

We’re in the business of grappling with and resolving genuinely interesting and important questions. We have no interest in silly, dull and ill conceived questions that lack meaning and intend to trip up.

So, an opportunity to show pupils what mathematics is and can be has been utterly wasted and instead we’ve just made it a lot less likely a nascent interest in becoming a mathematician will flourish for many, many pupils who will, quite rightly, reject the subject as tedious sleight of hand.

To those writing, signing off and publishing national exam papers: be better at your job or do something else.

My 4th children’s book is here & is available soon!

Hopes, dreams & nightmares in post-war Britain & rich in WWII/1950s history. Ideal for UKS2/KS3 & a good end to WWII topics.

My books are written while teaching full-time &parenting two young boys &I’d appreciate a retweet! 🤩

A great article written by the amazing Rebecca Thompson on 'The Matthew Effect' (you might have heard us calling it the Jenga Effect!)

When I was growing up, my bedtime was 9pm. I couldn’t wait until I was a grown up so I could go to bed at any time I wanted to. Turns out that’s 9pm.
