Knowledge for Teachers

10 - Kieran Mackle thinking deeply about the science of maths


Listen Later

In this episode of the Knowledge for Teachers Podcast, Brendan Lee speaks to Kieran Mackle. Kieran is a primary mathematics specialist teacher from the UK, an author and is currently working with Complete Maths. He is also the host of Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, a podcast that should be on your playlist, and this episode is actually the second part of our conversation. In the first part, Kieran quizzes me for his podcast. However, in this episode you will get an in-depth look at how deeply Kieran has thought about primary mathematics. We look at a number of topics including: 

  • Concrete, context, pictorial, abstract, language
  • Threshold concepts
  • Depth and Challenge
  • Storytelling
  • Word problems 
  • In this episode, Kieran also analyses the lesson structure that I recently proposed.
