I love watching children’s thinking come to life and concrete, pictorial and abstract representations can work alongside each other seamlessly to let us see a child’s thoughts. I wonder what you think the question was that Esmae was answering here? #MathsEveryoneCan #CPA

✔️Just do it✔️
Not just Nike’s slogan but my reminder to stop waiting for perfect. Sometimes one bold step is all it takes to ignite something amazing! Trust it. Go for it.

Picture books and maths are a favourite combo of mine. Whilst dropping off donations at a charity shop I had a look to see if there were any bargain books for my nephew. This one jumped out at me for obvious reasons but can you see the problem(s) I might be having with it?!

Time for a quick celebratory brew after successfully delivering a new @WhiteRoseEd TA webinar that I have written. It was full of wonderfully engaged TAs looking to make a difference in the way they support children. #MathsEveryoneCan

What a wonderful day working with a fabulous team at a school in Richmond upon Thames. The engagement was fantastic when looking at creating a positive culture for mathematical talk. Tiny enjoyed making a guest appearance too! #MathsEveryoneCan @WhiteRoseEd
