I chat with Emeritus Professor Jere Confrey who is an expert in Mathematics Education.

We discuss a range of topics including:

• The current situation in schools with COVID
• Why learning trajectories should be viewed like climbing a wall not a ladder
• Tracking/streaming in schools versus flexible learning
• Why students need to believe they can learn
• We teach maths the wrong way around: division should come before multiplication
• Different ways of thinking and how that can transfer and generalise
• The next generation will need to be flexible, confident thinkers
