Fancy some #Chrismaths fun!? We are really enjoying doing the @GCHQ Christmas Challenges each day on @BBCBreakfast especially today's festive equations. Can you solve this?

Love this! Doubling is a key foundational concept in maths. It can be tricky, especially for learners with dyscalculia. Lots of great ideas in this video for using concrete and pictorial representations to aid understanding 🤩
Our brand new Dyscalculia series! #DecodingDyscalculia The first video looks at Doubling. Check it out here dyscalculianetwork.com/decod…

This really is brilliant news! Maths hubs play such an important role in supporting schools!

DON'T MISS OUT | MASTERING NUMBER AT KS2 | This Work Group is for schools that have already participated in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 (unless a junior school) and are involved in a Teaching for Mastery Work Group. For more info 📷bbomathshub.org.uk/project/m…
We completely agree! Concrete representations are the keys to unlock abstract mathematical concepts! YES...EVEN IN KS3!!
Interesting...Met someone today who told me he sees maths as pictures in his head and his wife sees digits 0-9 as colours! Never heard that before! Anyone else see #maths like that!?
Great to see @hkettlemaths and Bullseye maths on @BBCBreakfast highlighting the importance of changing a negative mindset and resistance towards maths. Using short & fun tasks, games & activities in the classroom enthuse & engage pupils whilst developing their numeracy skills
If you haven't already, do read this brilliant blog! It really highlights the importance of using using concrete manipulatives to support problem solving in maths
Thanks! Lovely to know teachers think our concrete manipulatives are essential resources to support maths! 😀
@plavalmat loved sharing the place value mats and counters with teachers from other schools today. An essential to support concrete learning in maths.
