Just 37% of 9-year-olds, and 14% of 13-year-olds, said they read for fun “almost every day” in 2025; those numbers peaked at 53% and 35%, respectively, over 40 years ago. the74million.org/article/long-t…

@C_Hendrick @jliemandt @NickGibbUK @Alphaschool Interesting. We share a philosophy of high expectations and the use of technology in mathematics to challenge each student at exactly the level they need.

Practice is the key to getting good at math. Fluency=accuracy+speed and it seems to be getting skipped. Students need to be fluent with foundational math (using abstract symbols––not pictures & concrete materials) if they are to have any hope of succeeding in later math.

Mathematics, perhaps? 😊

Dear @OECDEduSkills - Please stop with the 21st century skills nonsense! You - including or maybe especially @SchleicherOECD - have done enough damage. Spend your time and our money studying things that actually exist and that can make a difference. oecd.org/en/publication…

If there’s one thing we do, it’s encourage practicing math every day. 15 minutes.

Three things that seem to be contributing to poor math achievement: 1. Multiple strategies for novice learners. Recommendation: Choose an efficient strategy that generalizes easily to (e.g.) larger numbers, teach it well, give lots of practice on it. 2. Too much focus on

If students struggle with fraction arithmetic, algebra is inaccessible. If they struggle with basic number operations (including times tables), fractions are inaccessible. Math is hierarchical & gaps compound. There's no way around it. We have to get math right in primary.

When you use a new technology, you’re constrained by decisions made in its design. Churchill understood this! (He was referring to the design of Parliament). If you’d like to infleunce the design of our new assessment systems - get in touch! substack.nomoremarking.com/p/education-te…

This, in @nytimes, sounds so Smartick. Extra math problems online.

@Ed_of_O @Oliver_S_Curry I wonder if we'll find that the impact depends on the person & what their focus is. Some people might find social media empowering if they focus on connecting w communities or getting info. For others focused on status or achievement, it could fuel envy & depression.

@ninaroselewis @thesamparr Love this. We believe the same at @Smartick: short, optimized learning sessions can be incredibly powerful. Not every child will attend an Alpha School, but technology can bring high-quality learning to millions.
