I have been thinking about this for a while now, prompted by the Observatory for Mathematical Education report last year, the recent @cepeo-ucl.bsky.social grouping study, among others. 'What next' after Teaching for Mastery? Read my thoughts here: educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2026/05/is-i...

Amazon has a global technical issue; my paperback is still stuck. But! The eBook & hardback are available. If you want to read beyond telling and retrieval get a copy: mybook.to/teachingmean... I'd really appreciate the support (and an honest review to help this calamitous launch).

Which pair of coloured tiles has the greatest total? How do you know?

A call for people to write for The Mathematical Gazette, and a plea for volunteers to peer review, from @amiemathematics.bsky.social. It's the journal I edit, behind the scenes we're getting ready to publish my first issue!

Doing a PhD can feel like wandering through a forest with no map. You’re constantly questioning whether you’re smart enough, working hard enough or heading in the right direction. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. More importantly, you’re not broken. patthomson.net/2025/10/25/b...

I'm running a webinar on adaptive teaching on 5th November. Loads of practical advice about inclusive approaches to teaching. Pay what you can to attend. Please share. Thank you! #EduSky www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-ultima...

Searching for 'what works' is understandable, but there are no silver bullets out there and very little in education is reducible to treatments and procedures as it is in health. Education is an open, complex system, and it's purpose and nature is contested./1

I'm not one to normally do this but really pleased to see our article published today in the CCT journal. The product of our beliefs and experience in teacher professional development and we hope of value and interest to readers. @collegeofteaching.bsky.social

Primary educators 👋🏻 I am interviewing teachers for a research project aimed at understanding how teachers learn from each other in the workplace. But my sample is currently very secondary heavy Could you (please!) spare me an hour of your time this week or next? It will be interesting, I promise!

The interim report of the curriculum review is out. Some recognition of need to better balance breadth and depth (not specific to mathematics tho - see screenshot from p. 21). Absolutely no sign of budging on the MTC in Y4 disappointingly.

Last one from the last few months. Following one of Ameet Hindocha's analysis in his wonderful 'twelve twelves' book. I'm copying his example here and love how the positive/negative colourings draw the eye to different features.

Two different colours variations on Samira mian's pattern from April 24. Both now hanging in the office.

This one took forever! Green and gold 2-layer pattern: 8&12 pointed stars inside a larger 8-pointed star and cross tiling. Taken from Ameet Hindocha's 'twelve twelves'.

Three variations of Samira mian's 4-fold tiles from the Alcazar of Seville

We are delighted to have published our Interim Report for the Maths Horizons Project today: www.mathshorizons.uk/interim-report This report reflects on some of what we have learned so far through an extensive range of contributors. We would love to hear your thoughts on the findings!

**HERE is our new Early Childhood Maths Home page: we hope things are easier to find & you enjoy furkelling! earlymaths.org

#CallForParticipants If you work with people who have experienced #DomesticAbuse and/or #MordenSlavery, I'd love to hear from you: [email protected] Please share with your networks to help this reach the right people. #PhD #Research

Lovely people of BlueSky- I am editing a book on the use of the arts (including tech/anything creative) in maths education. If you would like to propose a chapter (could be about art,drama, coding, clothing design, musical theatre, poetry…whatever you like) then you can email me at [email protected] 📧

Help needed ! Final push for this to finish off the weekend - English State School Exec. Leaders and Chairs of Governors please spare me 10 mins of your time to complete this anonymous survey! Help me get to my target for participants 🙏

I'm going to do some coverage on here of the assisted dying debate. If you're not interested please mute this thread now. It'll probably go on a while.

Difficult not to imbue this with meaning 😂

Instead of seeing the brain as a computer into which information can flow and be stored... ...what if we saw the brain as a mediating organ between perception and action? (Perception depends on knowledge). How would teaching change? #EruditePedagogy

We're nearly all here! Has anyone set up a maths ed group yet?

Well worth a read for those interested in maths, research and Ofsted www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Well this seems a bit better, doesn't it.

Delighted that education and teacher training are no. 2 in the UK in the guardian university rankings.
