A personal one 💌 See this envelope? 🌏 It's a congratulations card that my wife packed in my suitcase before I headed off to Australia 8 days ago with the instruction not to open it until 15th June. Nicola knew there would be cause to celebrate yesterday and she knew we'd be…
🎙️I recently had the pleasure of joining the Made for Math podcast to talk all things *science of learning* and how it applies to maths education. If you're passionate about helping all learners thrive, this one's for you. 🔢🧠 madeformath.com/science-of-lea…
‘Cognitive Science,’ All the Rage in British Schools, Fails to Register in U.S. My exploration in @The74 thanks to @dylanwiliam, @MrZachG, @daisychristo, @PepsMccrea, @benjaminjriley, @DTWillingham, @NickGibbUK, @S_Oberle, @effortfuleduktr, others. the74million.org/article/cognit…
So excited for this Episode on Mathematics Teaching to land! It's coming at 6AM Melbourne time! open.substack.com/pub/chalkdustp…
Less than 2 weeks to go and only a few spots left in my upcoming course. If you’ve ever walked out of a maths lesson thinking, “I’m not sure that landed,” this course is for you! Effective Primary Maths Teaching is two days (live and online) where I walk through the frameworks,…
💎 Listen out for the Pencil Pledge and other pedagogical gems 🤪
For example, the multiplication tables aren't memorised for their own sake, but because automated arithmetic facts free working memory for algebraic reasoning.
A brilliant thread from Chris about variation theory. Thanks, Chris, for assembling these crystal clear notes.
Many students struggle in maths not because they can’t calculate, but because they don’t see what matters. Variation theory offers a research-informed method to guide attention where it matters. A thread inspired from a @BrunoReddyMaths & @rastokke podcast 🧵⬇️
Just listened to the first episode today. It's great! "The way to make our students smarter is not to give them practice in thinking but to give them more to think with" (Dylan Wiliam)
🎧 Season 3 of the #KnowledgeMatters Podcast drops June 24! This season, we’re diving deep into Literacy + the Science of Learning! Our hosts are three powerhouse voices: 🧠 @dylanwiliam 📘 @Doug_Lemov ✍️ @natwexler 📅 New episodes drop here: knowledgematterscampaign.org/podcast/
New book has hit the shelves! The first review is in and it’s 5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! (it wasn’t me who left it 🤪) You can get a copy from @JohnCattEd or the usual place
@ThinkForwardEdu to host a Maths event in Melbourne featuring @BrunoReddyMaths in September. Details out shortly. @learnwithmrlee So many takeaways from @rastokke ‘s podcast episode 👇
🎙️ Here’s Bruno Reddy talking about how, as a secondary math teacher, he saw students struggle with concepts because they didn’t know their times tables. Link to full episode below.
To finish this year, a series of 7 posts from me looking at the Deconstructing Word Questions techniques. Firstly, 'Which Bar Model'. The discussion is better for having a number removed so children don't simply say what the answer is.
I’m telling you, Gareth is a genius.
Really enjoyed this today. A task that all children accessed, some really interesting answers but then the significant challenge is explaining the pattern: why, from bottom-left going anticlockwise, do the numbers in the gaps +1 each time?

Too often in education, we debate which teaching strategy is best. But what if the real question is: when should we use it? In this post, I dive into a common trap even great teachers fall into: using high-impact strategies like checking for understanding, problem-solving & group…
🧮 📘 One for all the maths teachers out there! 'Secondary Maths In Action', arguably most important subject in the series 😜, has hit the shelves! 1/4
Now 7! Congratulations to @MccreaEmma / it’s a stunning addition to the subject In Action series. @JohnCattEd
