The Loughborough University Mathematics Education Network has launched a free math curriculum informed by cognitive science. Dr Colin Foster says understanding how the brain works is key to ensuring more students succeed in maths learning. Read: tinyurl.com/58r86nkz



Here at the Loughborough Department of Mathematics Education LUMEN curriculum launch. I'll share some of the announcements in this thread


Thanks to Colin Foster for welcoming us to celebrate the launch of the Lumen KS3 maths curriculum. Loughborough Department of Mathematics Education Tom Francome Chris Shore. And a guest intro from Marcus du Sautoy. Marie Joubert Geoff Wake 👇 Pip - Mathematics Bethany Woollacott @bethwoollacott.bsky.social Matt Lewis Dr Rachel Marks 🤓 Jacqueline Mann


Really enjoyable evening listening to Colin Foster introduce the Loughborough Department of Mathematics Education Lumen KS3 curriculum. Looking forward to a proper look at the resources and reading the research papers.


Delighted to share the newest Centre for Mathematical Cognition blogpost written by Colin Foster about the launch of the LUMEN curriculum! Have a read below to understand how and why Colin and the team (inc. Tom Francome Chris Shore) designed the LUMEN curriculum! ⬇️⬇️ blog.lboro.ac.uk/cmc/2024/03/22…

Happy to help Colin Foster Loughborough Department of Mathematics Education launch the new Lumen curriculum last night with a talk about the role of story telling in mathematics, an important strand in Lumen's approach to engaging students at school.


Can’t wait to have a play with this! Thanks Colin Foster for all the work putting it together, and making it available in such an open way.

The LUMEN Curriculum (for ages 11-14) is live at lboro.ac.uk/services/lumen…. We just made some updates to the resources - please always ensure you're using the latest versions from this link.

A new paper about education research in the UK. Colin Foster, Hugues (Hugo) Lortie Forgues, Elizabeth Stokoe and I analysed the journal articles that were submitted to the REF education subpanel in 2021 and 2014, and tried to predict unit-level peer review outcomes. bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/be…


If you teach secondary mathematics, you really need to know about the LUMEN curriculum resources prepared by Colin Foster and his colleagues at Loughborough University's Centre for Mathematical Cognition: bit.ly/3Xp16cY
