This yr 1 class love Numberblocks & this little lady had a Numberblocks themed birthday party & then donated her homemade characters to the class! She wanted them all to enjoy them. Little gestures from little people make all the difference 😍 @numberblocks @ThinkingMaths

This question on 2023 SATS paper is clearly wrong @educationgovuk You cannot put a square number on the line. You’ve obviously realised this so have put an option in the mark scheme whereby children can cross out a part of the question. Every child deserves compensatory mark.

New TikTok video: How can we *visually* show the difference of squares formula is x²-y²=(x-y)(x+y)?

If yellow is +1 and red is -1, what’s the value of the pattern? How did you count?

'I think the missing ingredient is problem-solving tactics' In his final @Mathematical_A Presidential Blog, Colin Foster explores problem-solving and talks about 'tactics' which he regards as 'finer-grained' than 'strategies' - well worth a read 👍 blog.foster77.co.uk/

Too much regrouping can get tricky & with so much going on mistakes can easily be made. Has anyone got method 2 in their calculation policy? I wonder if representing with negative numbers will stop children saying " 3-5, you can't do it!" #edutwitter #mathschat #primarymaths

139 teachers sadly lost their lives during the pandemic. Teaching unions fought to keep teachers and pupils safe. And now we see what this government thought of those efforts.

This should be a national maths education and peer mentoring programme #funkeymaths
If you have FunKey Times Tables cards, make sure you are getting the most of them - there's new resources for teachers on our website. Don't forget to use the card holders too - great for helping children focus on the facts they don't know.
