One-size-fits-all returns when perception beats pedagogy. “All proficiencies” talk + resources that split them + MC/short-answer tests (+ a pilot) = “rapid gains”. We improve what we measure. Maths needs reasoning + rich tasks — not just scores. #mathematics #assessment

Teachers are taking console in seeing that many curriculums continue to build on a set of common proficiencies and a new name doesn’t always mean a new game. #maths #edchat #aussieed

Maths moment. My two patrollers wanted to know how many kids say thanks when crossing. 6 out of 32 left them gutted (5 were friends). Now they are leading an inquiry into how to make & measure change. #maths @joannemceachen #edchat @EducationGovtNZ #iteachmath #education

Shocked at how Aussie supermarkets do not check their labels. $12 to $9 is Half Price!!!! That 'bigger half' misconception really being hammered home.😳 @ddmeyer @attard_c #Math #aussieed #edchat @NCTM @MERGA_maths #TEACHers @joboaler #iteachmath

Grateful of the opportunity to share some insights from my experiences. @EducationGovtNZ @TeachQLD @knowledgehook @TheLearnerFirst #aussieED #edchatnz @joannemceachen

Always a privilege to work with Teacher Aides. Today we explored the thinking processes behind simple games that can be used from Year 1 to Year 8. @TheLearnerFirst @knowledgehook #edchatnz @InnovateMySchl #aussieED

Mesmerised by #maths 😍. Blown away to have a 6 year old come and share what his curious mind had discovered. He was bubbling with excitement. I think maths has won over another fan. @NCETM @knowledgehook @TheLearnerFirst #edchatnz @attard_c @aamtinc

Aha moments galore as Year 3 try to understand how their peers represent the same #maths word problem with different number sentences. This confusion and curiosity led them to want to explore inverse relationships. @TheLearnerFirst @aamtinc #edchatnz @NCETM #aussieED
