The wonderful @RuthPatrickNE was compelling in describing how to assess prior to planning a unit and subsequently plan and intervene. Thank you Ruth!! #ACPConference24
Planning lessons on the train home to the North East following #ACPConference24 - they are awash with purposeful practice and tools of mass participation! Thanks for a great day everyone.

It can be really hard to ensure you are planning for disciplinary thinking on top of everything else so always good to see it happening through task design.
#ReflectionsFriday from our school visits: "Bar models again – this time, students deepened understanding of the mean to move seamlessly between totals and mean value. They systematically listed how many siblings each student could have – a lesson in a lesson." @chilledmaths
It's difficult to express in a tweet the impact I've seen this task have in the classroom.
#ReflectionsFriday from our school visits: "Do students need to have been formally taught factorising to access this task? No! They can start experiencing factorising and equal grouping before dealing with it in an abstract way." @chilledmaths #MathsMastery

We really try to understand how well students conceptually understand what they are learning on a school visit. The student I asked couldn't explain the rule she had just learned and then said hang on, I can draw it! Fascinating stuff!
#ReflectionsFriday from our school visits: "How would your students justify the change in the direction of an inequality sign when we x/÷ by a negative? On a recent school visit, a student confidently explained using this bar model." @chilledmaths #MathsMastery

I'm really privileged to get into lots of classrooms and learn even more about maths teaching and learning so I thought I'd share some of the things I've seen over the last term.
#ReflectionsFriday from our school visits:
"I overheard two students struggle to explain. When prompted to use bar models, they formed their words momentarily after their drawings. It seemed that the bar models were almost forming their thoughts." @chilledmaths

Have responded. Surprised myself by saying I would forego a pint for the greater good!
Thanks @TabitaSurge
Respond to this and retweet! - the inadvertent consequences for the education system are HUGE! @BSRLM_maths @helenjwc @annemathswatson @SmartJacques @mrsdenyer @clm4d @honeypisquared @Darrenmacey @petergates3 @geoffwake1 @MathsTechnology @ATMMathematics
