"Conveyor belt classrooms are typified by teachers who believe that the timetabled 'lesson' is a good unit of learning." Great blog from @markmccourt.bsky.social on the importance of getting off the conveyor belt approach. Well worth reading! www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

Children forget stuff....and so do teachers! Many schools are now using short quizzes as part of staff CPD sessions. I've started using Kahoot to create free maths subject knowledge quizzes you can access any time. First two are done - links below! #primarymaths #edusky #eduskyprimary

Contactless payments have dramatically changed children's early experiences of money. So what can we do about it? Here are some ideas for teaching money well in #EYFS that I wrote for @TeachEarlyYrs. Let me know what you think! cdn.teachearlyyears.com/e-mag/Teach-... #eduskyprimary #primarymaths

Schools everywhere following White Rose #primarymaths have been on decimals/fractions/percentages this term. This virtual manipulative from @studymaths.bsky.social is a powerful tool for live modelling and helping children see the connections. Give it a try! mathsbot.com/tools/decima...

NEW: Decimal Square. mathsbot.com/tools/decima... Thanks to @joausten.bsky.social for the idea in his #MathsConf37 session. I've got a few more features I'd like to add to this, but I'm way too tired after the weekend!

Had a great time at #MathsConf37! In my session we looked at models and manipulatives that are still underrated and underused in primary maths. Here's a flavour of it, starting with an interactive 'to scale' multiplication square from Mathigon. polypad.amplify.com/p/VvXls4cQH6...

We know the curriculum is too full, but finding ways to make space for spatial reasoning is super important. Here's what I wrote about it for @teachprimarymag.bsky.social cdn.teachwire.net/e-mag/Teach-... #edusky #eduskyprimary #primarymaths #EYFS

This is really good on how the primary maths curriculum could do less, but better. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made a short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map. youtu.be/JvtUxB5WM1k?...
