@ZoeParamour I have one of these in the loft! My initial purchase was based on memories of listening to Mr Grimwood at Gladstone Road Juniors who would stand on stage and captivate us - he was very impressive in assemblies. Great days at school. 🙂

How are your pupils applying metacognition to times tables? What do you emphasise? Working memory is finite? Automaticity makes it easier to tackle maths problems? Recalling once doesn't mean it is stored - judgement of knowing should be applied? Speed of recall is critical?

The blustery conditions have blown away the rain and the cobwebs in my mind. A quick coffee in the sun before some more training preparation. Glad the storm has passed over. Hoping everyone else has also been as lucky.

A great collaboration with @MrMetacognition to create a fantastic CPD event for schools 28th November Leeds focusing on how metacognition can be harnessed in tackling the disadvantaged gap. Brilliant to be able to work with Nathan on this event! #metacognition
