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

@Mr_Rowlandson It is great seeing the three methods like this. I have used the first two to illustrate things but never together and to see the third way is such a good reminder. Thanks for sharing this so much.

Latest blog post: ‘Using Numbers to Highlight Connections’ – Looks at how using the same numbers in a pair of questions can help illustrate the transferability of methods between different problem-types. #teammaths #mathschat ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2022/04/13/usi…

@SusanCalman My wife and I have been loving Secret Scotland down here in NZ. We thought we would give ya stone stacking a go in a place as close to looking like the Grampians as we could find 👍

Marilyn Burns talks about interviewing children to gauge understanding. Worth a listen. @MathsNSW @aamtinc @learnPSNSW @DoE_Mathematics @MathsNESA @imanewteacher @AISNSWPrimary @PrimeNumber_MAV @aussieEDchat @EduTweetOz @MTLC_ACU @AMSIschools blog.heinemann.com/podcast-marily…

@RNZeducation A well written article and it resonates with interim findings from our independent work around what support our teachers want and their experiences to date.
