Expert Edit: Helping pupils learn maths. My colleague Emma Lindley-Thompson and I have been working on an 'Expert Edit' for Ambition Institute. It's finally ready! > Excerpts from research into maths teaching and learning > Reflective questions Download here: tinyurl.com/39cnspa5#UKEd#UKMathsChat
Still a lot of work to do both in getting it right from above but also getting people to understand sometimes it is not about what you will use tomorrow but changing thinking snd learning. If people are already switched off . . .
It’s designed as a very practical review of design, implementation and trade-offs, from 5-18, findings ways to boost both mathematical outcomes and enjoyment. It’s chaired by Professor Lord Lionel Tarassenko and run through Purposeful Ventures. Find out more: www.tes.com/magazine/ana...
Researchers launching a maths review explain why, despite plenty of positives with the subject, there are many areas that need focus to help the subject maintain momentum
