Delighted to see our work published in JMTE! In this study @DrOFitzmaurice & I examine out-of-field maths teachers’ confidence & understanding of rational numbers. Findings reveal major misconceptions & low confidence, underscoring the need for more targeted PD #MathsEd

Delighted with the launch of the free maths posters that I designed for the IMTA. A set of six looking at the origins of the quadratic formula, zero, Pi, Pythagoras’ theorem, Fibonacci sequence and the Cartesian plane. Going up on classrooms all over Cork for open nights!

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.

Great insight into the changing nature of Senior Cycle HL Maths and the Bonus Points incentive @MICThurles @MICLimerick Thank you @MearaNiamh @mark_prend and Páraic Treacy
The awarding of bonus points to students who achieve a pass or more in Higher Level Maths has had unintended negative consequences and should be re-assessed, a new study has found.
