Call to scrap maths ability groups at age 7 to boost 'progression' Scrapping primary school maths groups that separate children based on their ability would improve overall achievement and encourage more girls to pursue the subject, new research suggests.
Studies by the London School of Economics (LSE) found that children placed in lower-ability groups at the age of 7 developed a negative “self-concept” that affected their future education. This view impacted on the children’s learning behaviours, subject choice and specialisms, attainment and adult careers, the studies found. Read: England's pupils among the most segregated by ability Opinion: ‘Grouping primary children by ability is indefensible’ Classroom practice: The 12 dos and don’ts of setting The research, funded by the British Academy, analysed data for 4,463 children from the Millennium Cohort Study – 2,299 girls and 2,164 boys.

Harnessing the power of story. How might picture and story books enhance the mathematical experience we offer our young children, birth to seven?
This blog has been jointly written by Cath Gripton and myself, as ECMG members. All children are entitled to a strong mathematical foundation which is achieved by the integration of both child- initiated play and adult teaching through meaningful contexts. Young children are naturally mathematical problem solvers, inquirers and sense-makers. Adults encourage children to be mathematical in a range of settings and to reason and to solve mathematical problems in context. Contexts are therefore crucial for children to mathematise their experiences in a way that is meaningful to them. eCPD – recommendations for maths teachers while working from home – Teach innovate reflect. Amidst the current situation in maths departments in the country and working from home, I thought it would be useful to curate some maths specific CPD that staff could maybe look at to break up the working from home day with other jobs that may have been delegated.
I’ve tried to go for a variety of topics and authors. It may be best to direct different staff to different sources and then ask them to come back and discuss, summarise, share ideas and put an implementation plan together. Firstly, I designed some infographics that are created using Oli Caviglioli’s principles: Explanation and modelling in maths visual summary Increasing rigour in the maths classroom – a visual summary of Dani Quinn’s blog “What are you thinking?”
Where is the overlap between learning at home and online learning? The terms remote learning, online learning and home learning are currently used to mean similar things… so, are they interchangeable?
Where is the overlap? In a nutshell, although they overlap, they are not interchangeable in my view. In the context of primary mathematics, what might constitute ‘remote learning’ could encompass far more than ‘learning online’.

Everyone’s heard someone around February time in the staff room saying something along the lines of: “I just don’t understanding why they can’t do long multiplication any more…they were experts in October when we did it! Guess I’ll have to have a re-cap week of it…” This often comes at a cost of a geometry/measurement/something-other-than-arithmetic module, leaving children short-changed with their knowledge in those areas.

As one of the four number operations, subtraction is a concept that is familiar – and indeed possibly routine – to every primary school teacher.
Yet, it is perhaps surprisingly complicated. Subtraction has three separate structures. Many pupils’ conceptual misunderstandings of subtraction originate in their lack of awareness of these structures, resulting in pupils at the end of primary school struggling to answer seemingly simple questions such as, “The population of Cambridge is 125,000 and the population of Bedford is 89,000. How many more people live in Cambridge than Bedford?”. Many pupils respond, Pavlovian-esque, to the word ‘more’ and add, calculating the answer as 214,000. Reduction is the most easily understood of the structures, and the one that children encounter most often in everyday life. These reduction stories need to be carefully considered to ensure that reduction which is being explored. The second model of subtraction is partitioning.

In this blog, he discusses the links between the guidance and mastery learning. Since the EEF guidance report was published, several teachers have asked me if the guidance encourages mastery.
The short answer is yes. The starting point for the guidance was a series of questions from teachers about the effective ways of enabling all pupils to succeed mathematically.
