Professor Alan Schoenfeld, of the University of California, Berkeley, a former AERA president, told Ofsted that its reference to his work “Misconstrues my work, and the definition of problem solving, in very serious ways.”

He added: “All of the references to problem solving in the report, including the specific one that references my foundational research on problem solving, are incorrect.”

Professor Mike Askew, a former president of the Mathematical Association and co-author of the popular books Maths for Mums and Dads and Maths on the Go, actually co-wrote a review of evidence in maths ed for Ofsted under Chris Woodhead in 1995...

He said of Ofsted’s 2021 “research review” that Ofsted’s statement referencing research of which he was a co-author constituted not just a “a misinterpretation” by Ofsted “but a complete fabrication”.

That had been to support a claim it had made about what it categorised as “declarative, procedural and conditional knowledge”. Professor Askew said this formulation had not come from his research. Other academics also seem mystified re its origins

Complaints to the inspectorate from two other leading academic teams, one based in the US, and the other in the Netherlands, whose work was cited in Ofsted’s maths document, are also detailed in my piece.

I am going to be speaking about Ofsted’s “research reviews” across maths, English and MFL at an all-day National Education Union conference on this subject tomorrow.

One conclusion will be: If @ofstednews cannot tell the truth, what is it doing presiding over our education system?

Geoff Wake 👇 @matildewarden Martin Robinson Carl Hendrick I think that the problem with modularity is that it tends to break up the subject which is inimical to a subject as interconnected and interdependent as maths. This is what I love about the Cambridge Mathematics Project (vast though it is).

All I want to say is the greatest professional honour of my life has been the incredible seven years I’ve spent with the BBC Singers. As a choir, but more importantly as individuals, they are the best. We are devastated.
