RT if you think teacher recruitment cost are too high.
#UKEdChat has developed https://t.co/s9caKxZgns so that all schools can list vacancies completely free!
Teachers can browse jobs completely free!
Let's start a recruitment revolution together.

#UKEdChat - Q3 - A positive self-perception of mathematical ability is vital, so how can school encourage and support pupils build a positive attitude when dealing with numeric problems?

Q3. Totally understand concerns/lack of firm EEF evidence surrounding growth mindset but I sometimes think it might have helped me rethink my attitude to maths at school i.e. not intrinsically bad at it, just need new strategies #UKEDCHAT
#UKEdChat - Q4.
In relation to Q3, how does grouping/setting pupils into similar levels help or hinder mathematical ability do you think?

A4. #UKEdChat Mixed feelings about this. As a teacher, I can see the value of grouping pupils together for ease of handing out tasks. But, the collaborative and supportive nature of pupils can help others achieve a lot more.
#UKEdChat - Q5
How is it possible to inform and update parents on mathematical methods and understanding, so that they can also support their children?

#UKEdChat we run Maths parties where the children teach their families the concepts we’ve been learning in class. Parents then take a party bag home full of maths games 🎈
A4 moved to mixed ability learning partners 4 yrs ago and now I see chn with lower prior attainment helping a partner who had middle prior attainment. Chn have time to talk maths and explain reasoning. Good skills for all chn to develop #ukedchat
A5: Run a PACT workshop! Get them involved, get them into the school, get them learning with the kids. Make it fun, make it relevant and make it matter. #ukedchat

For the first time in maths I didn't do well. When I asked why about some distribution. I was told not to question why and to learn it. I like knowing why!I retook my a level elsewhere did much better. I love maths but as many say the teacher makes a massive difference #ukedchat
Primary pupils of all ages - it works so well in my placement school and has had an amazing response from the parents. It's really helping to form an even better community surrounding the school. #ukedchat
A6 #UKEdChat I suspect the evolution of #edtech will become more prominent in the near future, with the use of AI helping and progressing teaching & learning
One of the issues with setting is that, for some pupils, the priority is the 'set' they are in rather than the learning taking place. It encourages some pupils to think they aren't as good as others. #ukedchat

When students repeatedly act disrespectfully let’s not simply consequence by having them sit in detention; let’s also try to teach them how gratifying it is to be kind & respectful instead. Have 4 office walls but this is by far my favorite! #edchat Love this idea! #ukedchat

A7 #UKEdChat This is a real issue for the pupils I work with. They have the ability, but access and understanding the question/s can really hold them back. Having questions read out to them is not always allowed or possible.
A5 Workshops where parents work with their chn, sch website with videos or info about mental and written methods used and home learning where a clear example is provided so parents can help their child #ukedchat
#UKEdChat - Q8.
Similarly, how do you plan to support gifted, or high-achievers in mathematics?
(Remember to include A8. & the #UKEdChat tag in your response)
One of the issues with setting is that, for some pupils, the priority is the 'set' they are in rather than the learning taking place. Sets can also result in harmful comparisons & a fear of moving to another class. #ukedchat

That's great you were able to re-take it and get past the experience. Interesting to think about what a difference the new teacher/environment made for you. #ukedchat

#ukedchat Another huge issue is that if they have well qualified staff they cannot cope with this as they do not like anyone to be better feel threatened and that is sad and stiffles progression not only of students but staff relationships etc

The scary thing, initially, is when you realise that they are achieving better than your own ability, but I love the challenge of learning and solving problems with G&T pupils #UKEdChat It’s great to see how their minds work.
Yes as a teacher if a child asks me why I try to answer them. If I don't know why I admit I don't know. My new teachers kept asking why are you retaking maths because they could see that I had the ability to pass with a good grade. #ukedchat

What are the best strategies, in your experience, for improving mathematical confidence and ability in students?

A7 develop their reading skills alongside the maths,help them with unpicking what a question is actually asking, use visual representations to make sense of them #ukedchat
A9. #UKEdChat Any games or activities that involve ‘play’ and the students don’t necessarily realise that they “are doing maths (or numeracy)”, but they are still learning and enhancing skills.
Perhaps some teachers believe it is easier, but we should still be differentiating our approaches for all pupils. A set class doesn't mean the pupils are all the same with the same needs. #ukedchat
A8 By avoiding giving more of the same instead challenges that meet the same learning intention but require more thought or deeper reasoning skills. #ukedchat

How can you support (or identify) pupils who appear to have a dyscalculia situation? What steps can teachers take to help them?

Imo setting for maths has to stop. There are so many disadvantages- once in a set chn tend to stay there- and no advantages - only v limited for higher achievers

A9 Lots of practical resources from strips of paper and a paperclip for estimating numbers on a line to dienes and beadstrings! Chn talking maths seems to increase confidence through sharing ideas #ukedchat
#ukedchat A11 Love to teach algebra and fractions and then at the same time pupils struggle to understand fraction and decimals - even with pictorial help #mathsproblems#mathsisfun
A 10 research best strategies for meeting the needs of a child with dyscslculia and adapt to suit the individual child. Where possible seek expert advice #ukedchat

Resource sharing time – what resources do you use, and find the most helpful – when teaching numeracy/mathematics?

A11 I love teaching all areas of maths. Used to struggle with teaching fractions but through trying different practical ideas I've become comfortable with them! #ukedchat
Why is technology not being used to deliver more personalised learning experiences? This is the only way to deliver maths education that allows everyone to progress. #ukedchat
We must stop using the word “ability”. It’s part of the problem. It implies global success or failure and an inherited maths gene. We replaced it with “attainment” & we’re strict about it
