How might curriculum design deliberately respond to the growing impact of generative AI? The University of Birmingham’s Michael Grove offers a possible approach in this paper and blog. www.jmc.org.uk/wordpress-cm... www.jmc.org.uk/2025/08/27/b...

GCSE Maths distributions by board and age (16 and 17+). AQA’s entry has a larger proprtion of resits than Pearson. OCR and Eduqas don’t report age data so are lumped together, but Eduqas’ grade distribution suggests most of their entry is 17+. OCR tend to have a larger F entry.

Ada Lovelace Day is on Tuesday 14 October this year, which might seem like a long way away, but if you’re organising an indie event, it’s practically right round the corner. So why not start thinking about what you're doing to do for ALD and get organising!

Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score). “Statistically it’s risky for the goal keeper to stand still… so yeah, I love maths”.

I’m looking forward to Jennie Golding talking with us all about TIMSS this afternoon.

Call for session proposals for the Adults Learning Mathematics conference alm-online.net?mailpoet_rou...

Face to face and online JMC meeting today with a packed agenda…

Well after nearly 40 years with ATM, it is time to clear my desk and retire. I have loved working for ATM and will miss everyone who I have met along the way . All the best, Karen F

Further evidence of England's improvement in maths today with the release of the TIMSS 2023 test which allows for comparisons across countries. Particularly good news at year 9 (13 year olds) where we've seen a decent jump despite the pandemic (unlike other countries).

Something positive is happening in maths education in England. @ncetm.bsky.social Director of Secondary, Carol Knights, talked to secondary school leaders yesterday, about how to ensure the conditions in schools might support teaching for mastery.

The Joint Primary Group of the ATM and MA are pleased to launch ‘KS1 Assessment Tasks – Tasks not Tests’. a collaboration between mathematics educators and are freely available by all to access. @Mathematical_A atm.org.uk/News/ks1-tas...

📊 Around 170k students resit GCSE Maths each year 😟Only 1 in 4 GCSE resit students achieve a grade 4 by age 19 💪Change is needed. Don't miss NCETM’s Charlie Stripp & @eltimbre.bsky.social in a new blog post on how curriculum & assessment reform could make a difference for all learners💡 #UKMathsChat

Last year, Maths Hubs worked with 9,213 primary schools (55.0%) and 1,898 secondary schools (55.6%) across England🤯 What a stat!🤩 To learn about how schools have engaged with their local hub, read the full report 👉👉 bit.ly/3BadS6q #CoreMaths #FEMaths #ALevelMaths #EduSky #UKMathsChat #PrimaryMaths

Pound for pound, there is no better investment schools can make than teacher CPD. Forget shiny new things. Without expert teachers, it’s all just a waste of money.

Interesting report below. Also, welcome @noel-ann.bsky.social Chair of the Joint Mathematical Council (JMC) to Bluesky!

Reassured that most conversations I’ve had or heard about maths curriculum review come up with pretty much the same suggestions 🥸. Good to know that it’s not feeling like a random wish list in every corner
