I feel privileged to lead maths for so many wonderful schools: https://t.co/xfTX8zVsT6

[Mr G @DeputyGrocott]

Year 6s are awesome! Like and repost if you agree!

@FPL_Harry Think that’s where I’m heading. I’d take 30 minutes of him in this game!

@FPL_Harry What to do with Watkins. On bench boost!

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Isn’t it great that we’re celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday whilst ignoring the message he’s spent the last 20 years trying to get through to us:

@FPL__Raptor Bench boosting and have Watkins! Who is the best one week punt? Going Thiago and Gok next week. Already have Wellbeck and Haaland

@DeputyGrocott All 20 schools in our MAT use Mastering Number from the NCETM for ELGs element of the framework. If you apply to take part next year then you’ll get access to the trial materials that include shape, space and measure. DM if you want to discuss.

@SamStrickers181 This is a key point: The study also warned that for ability setting to work properly, schools must avoid allocating their best teachers to the top sets.

[Maths with Malcolm @watson_malcolm]

@DeputyGrocott A great outcome that you must be very proud of. Congrats!

[Maths with Malcolm @watson_malcolm]

@GianniButtice How do you activate it when the APP is updating? Good luck. Going to be joining you!

[Maths with Malcolm @watson_malcolm]

@Pras_fpl Good luck Pras. Also went with the roll. Keeping options open.

@DeputyGrocott It makes me sad that children in some schools don’t get a diet of different authors or to experience a range of cultures through the books they read. The books used need to be continually reviewed and updated to reflect society and new authors.

@adamboxer1 In primary maths:
Differentiation = giving different tasks to different children, putting a ceiling on what children could do. Reasoning and Problem Solving for some not all.
Adaptation = a continuum of questions for all that begin scaffolded and grow in complexity.

[Maths with Malcolm @watson_malcolm]

@PaulGarvey4 @MathsladyScott Like Gove once famously said, they probably want all schools’ data to be ‘above average’!
Give us a testing system where 100% of children can pass and then start looking at data but still alongside so much more because schools are so much more!!

@FPLFamily Same captain! Need a new goalkeeper but very uninspired. Think I’ll wait to see who Sam gets on wildcard… so I know who to avoid 🤣

[Maths with Malcolm @watson_malcolm]

@Strickomaster @Doug_Lemov Definitely not. That silver bullet only exists in teachers who are trained and supported to be brilliant and that is what we need to continue to put time and money primarily into developing.

[Maths with Malcolm @watson_malcolm]

@Strickomaster @Doug_Lemov We should all be worried but what’s the answer? Ignore it or control it so that we take the benefits as a tool to support teaching and learning?
It needs proper unbiased research but do we have time for this before it’s gone too far?? Sorry questions not answers!
