@nathanturnerspc @Mathematical_A Yes - might even call them 'Core Maths'! But a level 2 Core Maths instead of endless GCSE resits, would also refresh post-16 (or even post-14) provision. Mathematical, data, financial, digital literacies all key for education today

@Mathematical_A Taking a step back to understand what mathematical education is required for all graduates of education to 18 is a good idea. Not all students need to study A-Level maths in its current form, so why not create engaging, relevant alternatives to upskill our nation appropriately?

For maths teachers in England. Assuming suitable courses, no issues of teacher supply and an unrushed introduction period, would you

Brilliant to see that one of the key architects and supporters of #CoreMaths, Professor Paul Glaister, has been awarded the CBE. (The citation should read: "For services to Core Maths", obvs) @p_glaister @CoreMathsTom @CoreMathsCat

I respect much of what Hannah says, but suggesting much of our current maths teaching workforce can only 'traumatise' young people flies against the evidence, and ignores great post-16 opportunities such as Core Maths

Pretty chuffed. :-)

@moragmalcolm Go for it!

48 and (still) thinking of doing my PGCE. Too old?? 🤔

@natcarrmaths See amsp.org.uk/about/school-c… for what look potentially good resources for these students, coming weekly..... :-)

Who doesn’t want to read some positive news?!

@ATMMathematics Wonderful - thank you ATM. :-)

The Proving Ground is a brilliant collection of easy-to-understand problems on Mathematical Proof suitable for A Level/Uni Students to use while working at home, and is currently free to access. bit.ly/2xoW0n6 #Alevel #Alevelmaths

@early_learner @larkylass1969 So, so important. We're actually none of us hard-wired for it, but for littlies this is core of their growing identities.

Does anyone else worry about what a social distance nursery/ELC might look like after lockdown is lifted? Little children NEED touch and closeness.Even if outdoor settings are more able to maintain social distancing...toddlers are not hard-wired for it! thoughts? @larkylass1969

#lockdownmath This is a favourite visualisation of a geometric complex number question: geogebra.org/m/KUJj6dcM Original question here (from MEI FP2 textbook in UK):

If you are in touch with year 10 students upwards and want to encourage A Level or HE mathematics interest and foundations, see amsp.org.uk/about/school-c… Thank you AMSP!

@missradders I would, at least as an alterative way of understanding it - and explain why, or ask why they are equivalent in this case. It helps students appreciate the significance of it being a discrete distribution - and understand the adjustment you then have to make in boundaries.

So seeing as there’s already a thread full of grammar pedantry, here was a random thought this morning: I was videoing a lesson on normal approximation to binomial. If you have a discrete distribution and you’re calculating P(X<8) should you read it as x is FEWER than 8? 🤔

@helenjwc John has an enviable turn of phrase. :-)

@RJS2212 @onechriswhite Spoilt for choice.... I didn't see it, but e.g. Think of a number (any number, +/-, fraction, decimal :-) ), add 5, triple your answer, -11, subtract the number you first thought of, halve your answer, add 7, take away the number you first thought of.... and your answer is?

Can anyone help out @onechriswhite ??
