I love maths. I’m not ashamed to say it. I took maths and
further maths at A-level and went on to spend three years doing a maths degree
at Oxford before training as a primary school teacher. After ten years
teaching, I have spent the past two years writing and implementing a new maths
curriculum, running a peer coaching project in mathematics teaching, and
teaching maths to groups of students at risk of underachievement.
So, you’d be forgiven for thinking that I might welcome
Nicky Morgan’s new focus on primary maths teaching.
