How do we move beyond quick recall and build real fluency in maths?
At a recent @mathsnoproblem.bsky.social PD Pop Up, we explored how fluency grows through flexibility and understanding.
Rachel Walters and I share more in this blog.

We’re up and running with the CPD Extravaganza. Stef Sullivan is helping us to explore how beginning maths teachers can be supported to develop a ‘way of being’ that enables them to be inquiring, resilient professionals. #cpdextravaganza

Exploring aspects of number sense we want children to develop. With Judy Hornigold, the #cpdextravaganza is exploring how principles/approaches underpinning maths mastery can support learners with difficulties in maths.

Been writing again. It feels good. Started with girls but moved to curriculum. Thinking about substack. Anyone got any advice?

We've collectively moved on from differentiation by prior attainment and now rightly have high expectations of all children.

Personalisation in maths isn’t about different worksheets; it’s about crafting tasks that allow all pupils to engage while offering opportunities for deeper thinking.

What a fantastic three days with teachers exploring how best to facilitate children’s mathematical creativity. My favourite quote and for me most indicative of our #mathsnoproblem schools is, ‘Even our low attainers do well on the reasoning paper’.
