  1. The first two episodes of MT Talk discuss articles from Mathematics Teaching 296 atm.org.uk/MT-Talk

    Episode 1
    Elizabeth Bridgett, Lisa Coe and Jay Timotheus compare and contrast Mike Askew's 1999 article, ‘Teaching numeracy: will we ever learn?’ from MT168 with Jane Hawkins' much more recent, 2025 article, ‘Why purposeful talk in mathematics lessons matters’ in MT296.

    Also mentioned in this episode is the 1999 paper ‘Arbitrary and Necessary Part 1: A Way of Viewing the Mathematics Curriculum’, Dave Hewitt's first in a three-part series in For the Learning of Mathematics, as well as Mike Askew’s book, ‘Transforming Primary Mathematics’, published by Routledge in 2011.

    Episode 2
    Lisa Coe, Fin McLaughlin and Jay Timotheus talk about John Mason's 1987 article, ‘Only awareness is educable’ from MT120, alongside Tom Francome's 2025 article, ‘Everyone can think mathematically’ from MT296.

    Fin recommended two books: ‘Thinking Mathematically’, by John Mason, Leone Burton and Kaye Stacey (Pearson, 1982, and 2010) and ‘Researching Your Own Practice: The Discipline of Noticing’, by John Mason (Routledge, 2001).

  6. For people who like to explain maths:

    Suppose you have a struggling student, and you need to explain why:

    "Probability of one in five"

    ... is the same as ...

    "Odds of one to four".

    How would you do that?

  7. I've been thinking about this for ages, but never had the time to craft the words around it.

    People keep saying that "Maths should be fun" ... and I push back with "It should be engaging ... 'fun' is a different thing.

    So @rakhichawla has posted pretty much exactly this, but better than I ever could.

    I'm copying it here with permission.

    Please read this, then as it says at the end ... let's have a deeper conversation about this ...

    1/n

    (PS: I'd love this to get boosted to get outside my bubble ... you're all amazing, but there will be other opinions, and other thoughts that could be helpful or valuable)

  8. Some time ago ... (A month!) ... there was a thread on Twitter that I think should be shared here. I've been trying to extract and post it semi-automatically, but Twitter just makes it damn near impossible.

    So I'm copying it "by hand"

    Here's a chart of the full conversation:

    Here's the head of the conversation:

  9. Eric Bates: Passing the Spark

    Why do some people seem so natural on camera, while the rest of us feel awkward and inarticulate? This talk delves into the art of speaking to a camera and sharing your skills online...

  10. It is inevitable as time goes by that we lose people from the #G4G community. This video from #G4G15 remembers some of our most recent losses.

  12. Maths education is hard, but the people talking about it should talk to the people doing it !!

    There will never be agreement, but it can and should be better than it is. Remaining in silos will not help, and neither will adversarial attitudes.
