Exciting and rare opportunity to join the team as a secondary subject director for Co-op Academies Trust! Do get in touch if you want to know any more about the role. Closing date 2nd March. recruit.sampeople.co.uk/Jobboard/Vac...

As ever, the issue of time for this in an already-stretched role will first need to be addressed; difficult to argue this is more valuable than spending the time with students. Suggesting an underpaid profession should do this in their own time would be a very poor management move.

As many of you will already know, I'm here for all things maths & maths education 🤓 I will make sure that you have the latest updates around reform. I will also share the events & resources that are coming your way to support your teaching and exam preparations. Reach out if you need anything 📲

Today in #ALevelMaths my 2025 A-Level Calculated colouring went up on my website. Feel free to use :) blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/12...

I have started to re-create my old mathsfilms website, please check out the animated videos here! www.mathsfilms.org More to come! @ncetm.bsky.social @bsrlm.bsky.social @penahay.bsky.social @mathsjem.bsky.social @yrmathshub.bsky.social

Okay, here we go. Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients. NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer. You know what to do 👇✍️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

This ended up as a long thread, but if it is the final thing I ever write about ATM (it won't be!) I think I can be happy with what I wrote.

Today is the final official day of operation of The Association of Teachers of Mathematics, @atmmathematics.bsky.social , founded in 1952 by a group of mathematics educators that included Caleb Gattegno. A thread:

MT Talk is a fabulous new podcast! It is a space for thought provoking conversations about mathematics teaching. One of the hosts is one of our very own LLME! @ebridgett.bsky.social Spotify: Episode 1 - MT Talk about Talk! buff.ly/kXMcrMN Apple: Episode 1 - MT Talk about Talk! buff.ly/ijIk2Ca

More eyebrows should be raised at any national conference which proclaims itself to be about mathematics teaching in schools, but is held at a time when the vast majority of mathematics teachers would need to be allowed to stop doing their job to attend (Not aimed at any single conference)

Following the overwhelming votes by members of AMET, ATM, MA, NAMA and NANAMIC to merge and form the Association for Mathematics in Education (AMiE), we have been working hard in the background to prepare for the implementation of our new association. More info is here… atm.org.uk/News/amie-se...

Does anyone know if it’s the same for Dr Frost?

My daughter is doing her Sparx and she just spotted the Chrome now offers in-built AI homework cheating (see button at the top right - takes you straight to AI tools that answer the question for you). FFS.

Last repost of this. To those returning to schools or colleges tomorrow, here’s to a year of doing the best we can for our students, each other, and ourselves. The same sentiment applies if you’ve already started!

It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week 🎉🎉 and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

This year, I'm going to reinstate Maths Video of the Week, which I send out on Teams to our A Level Maths students (I've let it lapse in recent years) The descriptions and links to the videos are all ready to copy and paste each week - feel free to use! wykecollege-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/person...

I’m going to suggest it is worth checking your school is not affected by this. I know someone who has been told the following pieces of information stored about them had been breached: dob, name, phone number, address, passport, driving licence number, birth town, national insurance number

I've done some work on collated my worked examples over the holidays. Here's the database of those I've created over the past few years. Perhaps you can make use of them in your teaching too? kshancock.co.uk/workedexampl... #UKMathsChat

FYI, I have updated my Edexcel Grade Boundaries page: interwovenmaths.com/_GradeBounda... Some interesting Further Maths component-level boundaries!

The rest of the "The use of artifical intelligence in teacher development" article will be coming, but I am delaying publication to allow me to write based on a more thorough re-read & reflection upon all of my communications on the matter. Another article will be published in the intervening time.

I was one of a group of teachers that trialled the use of artificial intelligence in teacher feedback; this piece will share my experience and thoughts: learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

My next post will focus upon an experience I had with the use of artificial intelligence

The final part of the lesson account - a lesson ending, and a reflection: "Learning and teaching are complex endeavours and a teacher who is in development is a teacher who is intellectually curious about both learning and their own practice" learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-le...

In this part of the lesson account: independent work. What does the teacher want, what do they set and how do they have the class approach it? learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-le...

In part 3 of the consideration of this lesson: assessing class' responses and moving to individual work learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-le...

In part 2 of this account, the "explanation" part of the lesson is under focus: learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-le...

My next few posts will examine a particular template for a lesson, with this one focusing upon its opening: learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-le...

I end my introductory posts with an overview of what I believe as a mathematics teacher, and what sets the scene for everything to follow: learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/an-i...

I continue to believe that Pearson have a responsibility to offer further clarification publicly & if appropriate face repercussions in order to protect the integrity of the qualification…whilst at the same time I do not want the rewards of the efforts of students, including my own, to be diminished

In the final autobiographical part of the introduction to my writings - further influences that still shape me, and a book recommendation learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/08/an-i...

In the second part of my introduction... my most important influence in how I approach mathematics: learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/07/http...

I am going to be writing some thoughts about the learning and teaching of mathematics over at my blog. First up - an introduction to who I am professionally and the philosophies that will run through my writings learningteachingmaths.blogspot.com/2025/07/http...

Yes please to more famous people and role models being positive about maths 🤩🙌

I am going to post some of my private thoughts publicly, following some points raised by Graham Cumming:

If you haven't already, please do contact Ofqual to complain about Edexcel. Email addresses: [email protected], [email protected]. And think very carefully about which exam board you are going to use for A level Maths in future; Edexcel have a very bad track record #ALevelMaths

I really like this as a prompt:

£8.2M going to support girls mathematics education!! 🥳 I’m partnering with the Department for Education to announce the major £8.2M investment in mathematics education that will create pathways for more young women to pursue STEM careers! #mathematics #education #womeninstem #girlsinstem #maths

Gave my Y9s this diagram for #MathsToday. Picked a few numbers for a,b,c and then their task was to work out all the lengths and angles. Next lesson we'll cut it out and reassemble it and they'll discover that they've secretly been doing 3D trig! #UKMathsChat #ITeachMaths

Does anyone have an example of a student timetable for a week at uni doing a maths degree (first year probably)? I know all will be a bit different but it has been so long since I did mine I just want to see any examples! Thank you! Please share if you can 😁

A problem from @Mathinity_ on X:

At Easter conference I greatly enjoyed Barbara Ball’s session, where I got to work with some old friends on a particularly rich mathematical task. In the 90s, Barbara & her late husband Derek produced a series of books that approached the secondary curriculum through rich tasks: Task Maths (ctd)

I cannot remember when I first learnt of “Starting Points”, but it was almost certainly through ATM materials. Initially published before I was born, this revised 1986 edition is now attracting hefty asking prices on the second hand market, but is well worth tracking down

Great session with Tom Francome on algebraic thinking in the @lborodme.bsky.social LUMEN curriculum, including exploring Grid Algebra. #FPTC2025 @mathematicala.bsky.social @atmmathematics.bsky.social

In #MathsToday, Year 9 and I looked at some jigsaw ratios, before tackling Don's classic Ducks problem. donsteward.blogspot.com/2016/03/160-...
