This is interesting, because in my 18 years in secondary maths education, my experience is that the majority of students aren't spending anywhere near enough time working on their maths skills.

And just like that, #MathsConf42 was nearly the end !!! Douglas Adams reminds us, 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything… perhaps the answer is found in the connections we make at #MathsConf. The future is continuing to #Network #Learn #Share.
What’s next?

📢 MC42 IS BACK ON! 🎉
Earlier this week, you may have heard the disappointing news that Complete Maths would be ceasing as a company. Following this, we contacted our workshop leaders and exhibitors to let them know that MC42 would unfortunately not be going ahead.
However, response from a number of people who have rallied together to save the event, I am absolutely delighted to announce that MC42 is back up and running!
We appreciate that some of you may have removed the event from your diaries or made alternative plans. However, we would love it if you could reconsider and rebook your place to join us in Barnsley on Saturday 14th November 2026.
I also want to take this opportunity to recognise the fantastic support we have received from AQA, who have been incredibly supportive and are actively assisting us in making this conference happen.
There is still a lot to do, but we're determined to make MC42 happen, and we hope you'll join us.
🎟️ STILL HAVEN'T GOT YOUR TICKETS? NOW IS THE TIME!
If you haven't booked your place yet, we'd love you to come along and show your support.
Help us make MC42 happen. Every ticket counts, and your support really does make a difference.
👇 BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE:

Thank you to everyone who has rallied around, offered support and helped bring this event back to life.
Let's make MC42 happen. See you in Barnsley on 14th November! 🙌

It was Jemma Sherwood who first made me realise - about a year ago - the many problems with BIDMAS (and using similar acronyms to teach order of operations)

I remember one episode where a student said it was impossible to expand an expression like 12(p+2) unless you knew the value of p. After a while, I realized that this was because I had told her that you have to evaluate the things in the brackets (parentheses) first.

There are lots of views about how to improve our education system. Not enough of them focus on the classroom. We pursue big structural solutions, when we should be looking at how to create calm, quiet, peaceful classrooms.
New post, please share!
