I’m ready to talk about state care for the elderly vulnerable in our first-world country in 2024. And I’m fighting despair and rage. So many amazing individuals working in the NHS, but the lived reality for patients and loved-ones is devastating.

I've made a summary of Ofsted's English subject review which was released at the start of March. It's for both primary and secondary teachers and leaders. There's a written and visual summary on my website: marcrhayes.com/post/a-summary… I hope it's useful!

If there is only one interview to watch, it is this one. Anne Watson and John Mason discuss their lasting truths about mathematics teaching. I won't revel any spoilers - watch it for yourselves! youtube.com/watch?v=bMx1ha… #thereislightattheendoftherainbow

If you have 20 mins (3 times!) over half term- please take a listen to this @NCETM 3-part podcast with @AlfColes and Prof Natalie Sinclair talking about their important book "I can't do maths! Why children say it and how to make a difference". Part 1: podbean.com/media/share/pb…

Do children get to see the area model alongside formal long multiplication? Is area model 'dropped' too soon due to SATs when so useful for KS3? Interesting discussions with Pri & Sec teachers in @NEHS_MathsHub workgroup. @LearningMaths @DrHelenDrury @MrsJHawkins2007 @cjshore

In case it’s useful to anyone (as the HTML version annoys me) I’ve made the Ofsted mathematics subject report into a Word doc and PDF: dropbox.com/scl/fi/qot6r6e… dropbox.com/scl/fi/l5seqmj… Original report hyperlinked.

This is a banging summary. Thanks for making it.

📚The DfE updated their Reading Framework this week to include guidance for KS2 and KS3. 📝I've made a summary of the new sections which I hope is useful. 👉You can download the PDF version here: marcrhayes.com/post/the-dfe-s… #edublogshare

That's it! The constructions and loci deck is published! #NCETMCheckpoints are hundreds (money on @donaldson_maths knowing the actual number) of tasks that are intended to help identify what KS3 students DON'T know, what they DO know AND HOW they know it ncetm.org.uk/classroom-reso…

Give every Mathematics Teacher a copy of this book and there'd be no need to keep reteaching Fractions & Decimals at Secondary! Developing understanding - No tricks, No KFC, No Butterflies just concepts . Might get more children wanting to do maths up to 18! @GillianKeegan

It's been almost two years since my last blog - but here goes! My thoughts on assessment. With thanks to @Louisa_J_22 for her thoughts on reporting to parents. primarytimery.com/2022/05/02/don…

A new set of #NCETMCheckpoints has just gone live. 24 tasks around transformations featuring snail jeopardy and one of my favourite puns ever!

Really want to change our marking policy to reduce teacher workload. Anyone out there done this successfully and seen a positive impact?

ADHD If you have (or suspect you have) ADHD what is something that you wish your teachers had understood? (I'd love your ideas to share with a group of fab SENDCos I'll be working with this week)

It was a pleasure working with @researchIP on this much-needed scoping study on #earlyhelp. There're a lack of clarity about what early help and support is, how universal it should be, and where any thresholds should be set. gov.uk/government/pub…
