Craig Barton

Between 2022 and 2025, I have the privilege of visiting 2 to 3 schools each week, observing over 100 lessons a month. I have written up everything I learned in 16 books.

Gráinne Hallahan from @TeacherTapp joins me to share what 10,000 teachers really think about AI. Listen or watch the full episode on the Mr Barton Maths podcast.

@nathanday314 Love this, Nathan!

In case anyone is still checking Twitter... Here's something I've been working quite hard on recently: classduels.com/maths/ A Maths game featuring: - two-player and single-player modes - 50+ topics across KS3-KS5

@mr_s_lim Thank you. That's very kind of you to say.

Listening to @mrbartonmaths podcast and reading his books completely shifted my teaching practice for the better. It was invigorating sharing the learning with the schools I support. Excited to see these practices being implemented in schools!

Last week I appeared on the brilliant @mrbartonmaths Podcast where we talked about AI and education. Find the episode on Apple Podcasts here - podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/222…

@MrTaylorMaths2 Love it!

@mrbartonmaths you'd like these.

I've been doing some graph work and these plastic wallets with graph inserts used as MWB have proved invaluable in initial teaching and in checking for understanding. Much better than getting students to sketch their own axes.

@_kevinmcl @C_Hendrick @profbeckyallen Thanks Kevin, that is really kind of you to say. I loved chatting to @profbeckyallen

Thank you for sharing this @C_Hendrick. This has been the most enlightening chat about AI in education I've heard for quite some time. Thank you @profbeckyallen and @mrbartonmaths for the discussion and sharing your thoughts.

@olicav @profbeckyallen Thanks Oliver. Yep, Becky is superb! Hope all's good with you.

@mrbartonmaths I don't listen to many podcasts but was drawn to this one. It was very enlightening; @profbeckyallen was as brilliant as I'd hoped & you were equally brilliant in responding with a perfect range of questions. Thank you both.

Podcast live tomorrow morning - video available now if you can't wait!

The fantastic @profbeckyallen on why she is optimistic about AI's potential to improve learning. Listen or watch the full episode by searching for the Mr Barton Maths podcast.

@C_Hendrick Thanks mate - and thanks for the guest recommendation!

Few people are looking into the effects of AI on education better than @mrbartonmaths. He is building a really good set of conversations with different views here: eedi.substack.com/p/ai-in-educat…

A strange thing is going on right now: Both cognitive science traditionalists and constructivist progressives now seem to be both arguing for learning as primarily a social enterprise. For example, I don't know who Dan Meyer is but I gather he has largely progressive views and this conversation he had with @mrbartonmaths is symptomatic of this thing I mean where the emergence of AI in education is creating a weird kind of alliance where both camps now seem to be saying: learning has to happen between humans in real time. I disagree and this is why I think the Alpha model is potentially so powerful. 🧵eedi.substack.com/p/ai-in-educat…

CPD Library is now open! Currently only limited to @mrbartonmaths books.... More authors & books are on their way!

I have written about this here: open.substack.com/pub/eedi/p/ai-…

I spoke with my fantastic colleague, Bibi Groot about @HelloEedi's work with Google DeepMind to build an AI tutor. Search for the Mr Barton Maths podcast to watch or listen to the full episode.

@theeducakers @teacherhead @Emma_Turner75 I'm in danger of over-exposure! Thanks for the kind words.

@teacherhead @Emma_Turner75 @mrbartonmaths He is. I've listened to a quite a few podcasts he's been on recently. Love the practical approaches he shares.

Really enjoyed listening to this episode of Mind the Gap with @teacherhead @Emma_Turner75 and @mrbartonmaths. Found myself nodding along and sharing it immediately with Cass. We loved it so much we've put it on our Monday Briefing for all of our staff to listen to. So much sense about MWB's and Do Nows. Anna.

@adamboxer1 Again, I thought I had blocked you.

@mrbartonmaths There's a mistake on the bottom left triangle

Tweet for my fellow AI Maths Resource Creating Geeks: Claude Opus 4.7's ability to create good diagrams, which can be used to generate infinite practice questions, is leaps and bounds above the other models I've used. I'll write about this in an upcoming Eedi newsletter.
