It has been interesting and informative to participate in England’s Curriculum & Assessment Review Regional Roadshow event today in Folkestone led by Professor Becky Francis CBE (@BeckyFrancis7).
The review so far is doing an excellent job engaging numerous stakeholders to help shape the future of education. It is imperative to contribute your views if you haven’t already done so as the ‘curriculum is a public good’.
It seems to me that there are so many competing interests and complexities for the panel to navigate whilst simultaneously preserving high standards and promoting social justice. #education #curriculum #equity @AspirationsAT

Some depressing results from the Maths Horizon project mathshorizons.uk/post/teache…
Teachers think fewer than half of their students can reason mathematically. Half of eyfs/KS1 students enjoy maths and are curious but this drops to around 15% at secondary according to TeacherTapp.

2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find.
It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.

Did you know that the World's Most Interesting Mathematician Dr. @angela_tabiri's strory was featured on @hermathsstory? You can read her story below. Our young girls deserve to know that there are incredible women making pathways in mathematics; that they now have mentors.

Question from @DrEugeniaCheng:
Did you memorize your name? #iTeachMath #NCTMCHI24
Another question:
What put my art students off math?
memorization
times tables
formulae
getting things wrong
art/math false dichotomy
lack of creativity

Tried with one of my single-authored papers.
Very nice, also the study guide to guide students in reading the article.
Just fed the text of a book—Student Assessment, co-authored with Nancy Frey and Doug Fisher—into Google's Notebook LM (HT @emollick) and it produced a ten-minute podcast as well as a list of FAQs and a study guide. As Ethan says, "Seriously, just listen": bit.ly/47EtlYf
