Tom Manners - Loves Talking Maths Teaching

NCETM-PD-lead-logo

I’m a Specialist Leader in Education in addition to being one of the EEF’s Evidence Leads in Education, and I love to discuss pedagogy with teachers and leaders, as well as sharing my knowledge and interest as often as possible. I hope that the CPD, research, videos and interviews on my website give you access to just some of my enthusiasm.

We know that passion is key when delivering maths lessons – and if you have that, then you will want to work with me, as I have it in spades!

Just caught up with ResourceFULL #2. Truly fantastic episode - I love the open middle problems, just the type I love to do with my class and see them so determined to find an answer (or the closest they can!)
This discussion was absolutely fantastic. Open Middle problems are such an excellent demonstration that gaining fluency through practice and gaining understanding through problem solving need not be opposed to one another. Working through the problems myself is also great fun!
Another brilliant session with Tom Manners & Robert Kaplinsky. Open middle problems are the future. Can't wait to introduce more doK questions to students. Inspired as always. Thank you.
A great interview from @mannermatics and @robertkaplinsky Truly inspiring and though provoking. Roberts websiteopenmiddle.com is a fantastic resource bank that is going to really help me with my GCSE re-sit students.
Thanks @Mannermatics, @MrMatlock, @ashtonC94 and MissJK24319629 for a really interesting CPD session this morning. Lots to think about! And looking forward to sharing some of the MSL questions with my pupils in due course
Loving the ideas shared on #ResourceFULL, plenty of ideas buzzing in my head for when I start in my school!! #maths #teaching @ashtonC94 @MissJK24319629 @MrMtlock along with all the other educators sharing their ideas

Quote of the week

Mathematics is the music of reason. To those who do not know mathematics, it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.

— Richard Feynman

In this inspiring TEDx talk, student Felix Thomas explores the hidden beauty of mathematics in our everyday lives. With clarity and enthusiasm, he reveals how maths shapes the world around us – from nature and art to technology and architecture. A perfect reminder that maths isn’t just about numbers, but about seeing patterns, solving problems, and understanding the universe.
