The UK on 488 points moves from slightly behind Ireland in 2022, to 8 points ahead of Ireland. \u00a0The UK\u2019s position in maths declined 1 point from 2022 while Ireland declined 12 points.

The message seems to be that the education systems both in Ireland and the UK are performing well. However, the decline since 2022 needs attention. This is a continuation of the international decline between 2018 and 2022. While the impacts of Covid are still working through the educational system, the finger is increasingly pointing to screen time and \u201cdigital distraction\u201d. That digital influence is here to stay, and add to that the spectre of AI means that we have a big challenge not only in imparting mathematical knowledge but also developing problem solving skills which require concentration, perseverance and positive attitudes. Maths Week has an important part to play in meeting these challenges.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\" valign=\"top\" class=\"mceGutterContainer\" id=\"gutterContainerId-616\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse:separate\" role=\"presentation\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;border:0;border-radius:0\" valign=\"top\" id=\"b616\"><table width=\"100%\" style=\"border:0;background-color:transparent;border-radius:0;border-collapse:separate\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"padding-left:24px;padding-right:24px;padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px\" class=\"mceTextBlockContainer\"><div data-block-id=\"616\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"d616\" style=\"width:100%\"><p style=\"line-height: 0;

The\u00a0 mathematics proposal specifies in considerably more detail what pupils should know at each stage from Foundation Stage through Key Stage 3. In addition to the content, teachers are interested in balance between mathematical knowledge and fluency on one hand and problem solving on the other and of course the implementation plans. The Northern Ireland Maths Teachers Association have circulated their members with a survey to inform their submission- members should check their emails for details.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 0;

On the one hand they are basic and fundamental and are vital for modern internet security. On the other hand, they remain mysterious and poorly understood - despite being studied for thousands of years! In this year\u2019s Hamilton Lecture, Professor James Maynard, will explain why prime numbers are vital, both in pure mathematics and in the real world, and how current mathematics is able to make progress on some of the key questions which have occupied mathematicians going back to the ancient Greeks.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><tr><td
