This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, Emma Lindley-Thompson and John Jackson dive into a landmark study by Bethany Rittle-Johnson and Jon Star: Does comparing solution methods facilitate conceptual and procedural knowledge?

We explore:

The premise of the study and how the researchers tested their hypothesis through equation-solving tasks.
Key findings that shed light on the benefits and challenges of comparing solution methods.
Where the responsibility lies—should the teacher or the curriculum initiate comparison-based learning?
Whether and how teachers can balance direct instruction with opportunities for pupils to explore and compare independently.
How we might adapt these findings for the primary classroom, ensuring comparisons support learning without overwhelming students.

This episode offers valuable insights for anyone teaching mathematics, developing curriculum, or interested in research-informed approaches to deepening conceptual understanding.

Episode 223: In this episode of Thinking Deeply about Primary Education , I’m joined by Gareth Metcalfe and Elliot Morgan to explore the ideas behind Gareth's latest project: Deconstructing Word Problems . After three years of development and classroom testing, Gareth shares the thinking and pedagogy that underpin his approach to designing word problems that genuinely help students understand mathematical structures—not just guess at operations. We discuss: The process of breaking down worded questions so that children can process them more effectively. How to design lessons that go beyond isolated word problems and towards connected, meaningful experiences. The role of visual modelling, slow reveal tasks, and redundant information in developing mathematical thinking. Pitfalls teachers often encounter when adapting word problems and how to avoid them. How teachers and schools can get the most out of Gareth’s new resources at icmaths.com/deconwq2 . Whether you’re a teacher looking to refine your use of word problems or a maths lead developing school-wide consistency, this episode is packed with practical insight and classroom-tested strategies.
