Mark Walks โ€“ Walking from Land's End to John O'Groats

In March this year, a set off on a solo walk across the entire length of Britain, from Landโ€™s End to John Oโ€™Groats.

It is the most extraordinary and life changing experience Iโ€™ve ever had.

I published a daily video and blog documenting the journey.

Maybe itโ€™s a thing? ๐Ÿคท

'Two negatives make a positive' - hard-wiring whatโ€™s not always correct?

-10 + -3 = -13

Are teachers causing what I call โ€˜Cognitive Confusionโ€™?

Can we eradicate?

After 34 years of research - my order to help pupils to total instant recall of times tables - especially for those who struggle.

This is not necessarily the order that times tables need to be taught for understanding.

Australian maths educators!

Iโ€™m interested in what pedagogical approaches are being recommended/mandated in your state, system, sector or school.

Can you point me at web links?

DMs if youโ€™d prefer.

Does anyone else disagree (greatly) with the NCETM order of teaching times tables?

10x, 5x,
2x, 4x, 8x
3x, 6x, 9x
11x, 12x
