Was great to see our Y1s at training days in Birmingham, Leeds & London last week. We loved hearing how you're getting on in school and geeking out on some maths with you all. Trainees also got thinking about their next steps in their practitioner research for their PGCE assignment #MathsToday

Right now, 1 in 3 children in the UK won’t reach their full educational potential because of where they grow up.

We’re here to flip the script – as a movement of Change Makers and Change Partners - to believe in the possible.

Over the next three days, we'll be welcoming over 200 trainees to their second in-person training day. They’ll be taking a deep dive into the topic of graphs, thinking about how they engage with research and developing their criticality ready for that PGCE write-up! #MathsToday

We're getting our teeth stuck into this report from the Observatory for Mathematical Education. It provides interesting insight into what's happening in mathematics classrooms - well worth having a read for our programme members and mentors #MathsToday

Well done to ECTs for their engagement on training day 2 last week. We enjoyed dropping into breakout rooms and hearing all about the brilliant work happening with pupils as part of the ambassador projects. We're excited to support with these in seminars and interactions this term #MathsToday
