@mistercollard Q1 most teachers!!! Most like to teach arithmetic but are nervous of maths #ukedchat — Eylan Ezekiel (@eylanezekiel) August 28, 2014
@mistercollard A1 Lots of parents who pass reluctance on to chn. Often hear the “I’m no good at maths!” #ukedchat

#ukedchat A1: |Reluctant mathematicians have usually had a bad experience and fallen behind at some point. Very hard to recover for many. — Udall (@DJUdall) August 28, 2014
@ukedchat #ukedchat A1 reluctant mathematicians are those who aren’t engaged by what they receive and are worried about achieving

a1: children who are not being challenge enough and so disengage #ukedchat — Daniel Meyer (@MrDMeyer) August 28, 2014
#ukedchat A1 Society supports “I can’t do maths” Polya wrote about it in 1956. Slowly we are creating “it’s not ok to be not ok at maths”

@mistercollard I find Ss reflect the opinions of adults around them. If they hear a lot of enthusiasm for maths it can rub off. #ukedchat — Udall (@DJUdall) August 28, 2014
@MrDMeyer A1: but is that reluctance to maths, or just lack of appropriate level of work, so become disengaged? #ukedchat
— Katherine Lee (@MissLeeSays) August 28, 2014
@mistercollard A1 The ones that find it difficult. It’s a vicious circle as their reluctance plays a part in holding them back #ukedchat — Craig Birch (@TheMrBirch) August 28, 2014
@grahamandre A1: Sadly there seem to be many average/poor maths teachers. That’s not good for motivation #ukedchat
— Udall (@DJUdall) August 28, 2014
#ukedchat A2 lessons need to be about fluency and problem solving. Skills from drills and more open ended problems. Mistakes are ok. — Maths4ukplc (@Maths4ukplc) August 28, 2014
@mistercollard equivalent of mental starter throughout the day in Year 1 – when lining up, giving out fruit, walking to lunch etc #ukedchat
— Daniel Meyer (@MrDMeyer) August 28, 2014
#ukedchat O+M starters still great 🙂 make them fun and have a purpose – more real life the better – adding up shopping? quiz games? — Waffling Wilson (@iwilsonysj) August 28, 2014
@DJUdall @ukedchat #ukedchat We have held parent workshops to raise the profile of reading, could work for maths where needed too.

#ukedchat being ‘bad’/reluctant towards maths is unfortunately socially acceptable.Pupils shud b encouraged 2 enjoy th challenge frm young — Kay Red (@RedMaths) August 28, 2014
@JE55 @DJUdall @ukedchat I still feel that teachers think they can be creative with Lit. but not Maths which is a shame #ukedchat
— Graham Andre’ (@grahamandre) August 28, 2014
@eylanezekiel @mistercollard the problem is ifwe’re nervous then so are the kids.It’s better to make mistakes and learn from them?#ukedchat — Stuart Goodhand (@Wookie666) August 28, 2014
#ukedchat using technology can provide examples of strategies that can be shared with parents via VLE
— Waffling Wilson (@iwilsonysj) August 28, 2014
.@goodman_ang Have also spoken to parents that are scared of teaching their children a different method to those used in school. #ukedchat — Tim Jefferson (@DocendoTim) August 28, 2014
@grahamandre link it to minecraft and they are hooked for the day #ukedchat
— Daniel Meyer (@MrDMeyer) August 28, 2014
@JE55 #ukedchat I’d love if all parents followed @AllThingsMaths for her great advice. — Udall (@DJUdall) August 28, 2014
@TheMrBirch @mistercollard very true – but don’t let the mathematics be over shadowed or contrived #ukedchat
— Waffling Wilson (@iwilsonysj) August 28, 2014
A3 : Holiday budget planning which required lots of decisions which in turn generated lots of ‘maths’ talk. #ukedchat — Bryn Goodman (@bryngoodman) August 28, 2014
@grahamandre Exactly-but unless we say to chn “This is maths you know” then can miss the learning opportunity #ukedchat
— Angela Goodman (@goodman_ang) August 28, 2014
#ukedchat Get them to use Explain everything to prove that they can use the process, not real world but engaging — Steve Kirkpatrick (@MrKp) August 28, 2014
@JE55 @grahamandre Shouldn’t really teach written methods until ch can do calculations mentally. #ukedchat
— Bryn Goodman (@bryngoodman) August 28, 2014

@gazneedle in terms of grouping? to be honest it tends to relate more to behaviour: who works best with who! Def not ability #ukedchat — Daniel Meyer (@MrDMeyer) August 28, 2014
A5: #ukedchat look at shapes etc in architecture, draw giant robots, monsters to scale on the playground. count jumps in a minute #ukedchat
— Graham Andre’ (@grahamandre) August 28, 2014
A5: Link maths to PE, lots you can do with regards to counting, measuring. difference etc #ukedchat — Graham Andre’ (@grahamandre) August 28, 2014
@MrDMeyer #ukedchat Absolutely, and teaching in ability groups doesn’t mean differentiation has been done effectively
— Udall (@DJUdall) August 28, 2014
