My latest article for HMRK magazine is out! What could a new national curriculum for maths look like? Read my thoughts here: hwrkmagazine.co.uk/read/ There is a document referenced towards the end of the article that couldn't be linked. The link to that document is here: 1drv.ms/w/c/ac85973c...

Out with ‘outstanding’, in with ‘exceptional’. Ofsted ditches single-word ratings for a new 1–5 scale this November. Clarity or just more pressure? #PrimaryEducation #Ofsted www.twinkl.co.uk/l/84mpt

Is anyone else tired of the GCSE maths bashing that has been doing the rounds lately? It is far from perfect, admittedly, but I don't think it deserves the heat it has been getting lately. My thoughts about it can be read here: educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2025/09/is-a...

Following my great conversation with James Dixon on LinkedIn I spent a bit of today reflecting on the use of horizontal and vertical representations for introducing early calculation strategies You can read my thoughts here: educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2025/09/on-h...

Mathsconf is coming back to London! Where I attended my first ever mathsconf #mathsconf4. Hard to believe we are now at #mathsconf39! See if @naveenfrizvi.bsky.social and I can convince you to come along...

Great to meet my next crop of Maths SCITT trainees today from the @leicesterscitt.bsky.social. I think we are going to have a good year together. Big props to Hastings High School and the co-head, my old friend Steve Shipman for being such excellent hosts for the year. #TwinklSecondaryMaths

To all those who are dealing with the fallout of GCSE maths results, my latest article provides some helpful advice. Read it here: www.twinkl.co.uk/news/gcse-ma... #GCSEMaths #MathsTeacher #MathsTeaching #LeadingMaths #TwinklSecondaryMaths

Found out today that I achieved 67% in my dissertation, meaning I should achieve a merit in my Masters in Educational Leadership! Very happy right now!

Two weeks today until my first Twinkl Educational Publishing Teach Meet looking at using CPA in the secondary classroom. Join me completely free on 22nd September using this link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/using-mani... #TwinklSecondaryMaths

📈 Fuzzy numbers Join Neil Sheldon at Beyond the Numbers to explore flaws in teaching stats. 📍 4 events | Sept–Nov 🎟️ completemaths.com/community/be... #UKMathsChat @aqaeducation.bsky.social @teachsolutions.bsky.social @mrmattock.bsky.social @naveenfrizvi.bsky.social @gcarp567.bsky.social

I keep seeing the McDonald's advert for the £1.49 Mayo Chicken. In the advert they say "This is how much holiday you get for £1.49" whilst showing some footage of an air steward. The footage lasts approximately 5 seconds. It strikes me that this is the start of a lovely little mathematical prompt.

Two blog posts in as many days! Diving into GCSE results across the country, for the first time, the link between outcomes and wealth was really driven home to me. My thoughts are here, please let me know yours. educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2025/08/math...

With the news that the government is considering scrapping post-16 resits for maths, I have considered what the consequences and alternatives might be. You can read my thoughts here: educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2025/08/shou... Would love to hear other people's thoughts about this.

📈 Statistics Taught Right 📍24 Sept – Manchester: Peter Mattock 📍26 Sept – London: Naveen Rizvi 🎟️ Book: completemaths.com/community/be... #BeyondTheNumbers #UKMathsChat @aqaeducation.bsky.social @teachsolutions.bsky.social @mrmattock.bsky.social @naveenfrizvi.bsky.social @gcarp567.bsky.social

I think this is the first time in my 20 years in education that I have had students collecting results that I won't be there to see. Feels very strange to know that right now my former year 11s are queuing outside the door and I am not in the hall waiting to greet them. Fingers crossed for them all!

Currently teaching GCSE maths? Shift Insight are looking for input into GCSE provision and curriculum reform. You could even win some money to help with your holiday or back to school purchases! Take the survey here: research.shift-insight.co.uk/maths-feedba...

Looking forward to getting stuck into this during the week courtesy of Rob Jennings from @dyscalculianetwork.bsky.social. Look out for my review on behalf of @twinklresources.bsky.social soon #TwinklSecondaryMaths

This month I attended my first ever MEI conference. I had a wonderful time listening to people like @tomrocksmaths.bsky.social - there really was something for everyone involved in maths education. You can read all about my experience of the first day here: www.twinkl.co.uk/news/maths-f...

Thanks for inviting us to join you!

Great morning recording the @twinklresources.bsky.social "Leading with" podcast today with Rob Jennings from the @dyscalculianetwork.bsky.social . Great information about Dyscalculia discussed and shared. Look out for the episode in the run up to #DyscalculiaDay on 3rd March. #TwinklSecondaryMaths

Off to London today to film my first podcast in a professional studio for the Twinkl Educational Publishing Leaders podcast. Excited to meet Rob Jennings from @dyscalculianetwork.bsky.social in person and talk about how schools can improve education for dyscalculic pupils #TwinklSecondaryMaths

A great chance to start the year off with some quality PD courtesy of @lasalleed.bsky.social, myself #TwinklSecondaryMaths and others.

After a "Year of Reading" was announced for next year, I reflected on the importance of "Maths for pleasure" and what schools and parents might do to encourage recreational mathematics. You can read my thoughts here: educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2025/07/math... Comment your thoughts as well!

Came across a very interesting article today about some research that has been conducted in France which suggests that it is formal schooling that begins the gender gap between boys and girls in maths. #maths #mathsteaching www.iflscience.com/boys-are-bet...

A wonderful evening yesterday at the @leicesterscitt.bsky.social graduation, seeing off my (former) trainee teachers for the last time into the teaching world.

I recently had an article published in the Education report about the new Teacher Degree Apprenticeship, due to start next year. You can check out the article here: www.educationreport.co.uk/2025/06/04/m...

Intensely warm, but immensely proud that I am on my way to celebrate and speak at the graduation of my @leicesterscitt.bsky.social maths teachers today. #teachertraining #mathsteaching

Calling all Maths teachers! What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths? Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks... ... or just ones you really like. (see some of mine below)

Very high class for dinner at the @meimaths.bsky.social #MEIConf25. Feeling properly spoiled by @casiojapan.bsky.social who are sponsoring the drinks!

Fascinating journey through some of the earlier @casiojapan.bsky.social calculators at their stand at #MEIConf25

Arrived at the @meimaths.bsky.social #MEIConf25 and already bumped into an old friend @eltimbre.bsky.social

Another early start this week as I head off for two days at the @meimaths.bsky.social conference. Despite being in maths education for 20 years, this is my first time! Looking forward to two days of stimulating talks and sessions, and catching up with old friends like @eltimbre.bsky.social !

Great day with @aqaeducation.bsky.social maths expert panel today. Deep discussions with @mathsjem.bsky.social, @drfrostmaths.bsky.social, @drbennison.bsky.social, and @tessmaths.bsky.social, and great to see @colleenyoung.bsky.social again.

Early start for my trip to London for the @aqaeducation.bsky.social maths expert panel today. Looking forward to discussing the next steps in maths and assessment with friends and colleagues like @tessmaths.bsky.social. #maths #mathstoday #mathsteacher

Just jumping in. I never saw the EEF implementation guide until I did an NPQ. It’s excellent practice and although common sense I like having this to refer to as a check. educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-ev...

I have been lucky enough to secure KS3 lead for maths from Sept. Any pieces of advice or good blogs that touch upon this? @misswhitemaths.bsky.social @resourceaholic.bsky.social @justmaths.bsky.social @missradders.bsky.social @mrmattock.bsky.social @jemmaths.bsky.social

One of the things that has amazed me since starting @twinklresources.bsky.social is the sheer volume of free, live CPD that is available for all teachers. Often more than one per day! Check out the Eventbrite page here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/twinkl-tea... to see everything.
