Just 3 days left to have your say on JC Maths. Thanks to all teachers who have taken part so far. If you haven't got a chance yet we'd still love to hear from u to see what u believe is working & what isn't. If you have started this survey you can pick up from where u left off.

Across 3 different studies we have investigated the impact of bonus points for maths & unearthed some unintended consequences. Delighted to see a summary of this work published today by RTÉ Brainstorm A full evaluation of the bonus points system for maths is desperately needed!

Delighted to see this paper published today. In it we see Irish maths teachers say “grinds” are driven by exam pressure, income needs & systemic gaps. Most teachers provide grinds to supplement pay but some worry it worsens inequality & masks deeper issues in maths education.
