When we think about teaching students a new mathematical process, our typical approach is to test for pre-requisite knowledge, and once we’re happy it’s there, I Do / We Do the whole process from start to finish. Do that a few times, and then You Do some independent practice. But what if that means we’re teaching mathematical concepts in the wrong order? Do you really need to start at the beginning each time? Spoiler: no, you do not. Atomisation shows us why not, where we should start instead, and how this massively increases the odds of student learning across all ages and ability groups. Link below 👇

Education debates are full of self-assured voices—politicians and policymakers, union leaders, reform advocates, and researchers. But one group goes largely MIA from the conversation: teachers who have left the profession. My latest for @AEIeducation aei.org/education/list…
