@MathsWithMsB @Terfin9000 I agree. My point was that the good, bad and ugly existing before SoL, and still exists. I don't mind folk finding inspiration in that, but we don't have to pretend teachers only became sensible because of SoL or the evidence-informed movement.

MATHS TEACHERS: If you’re seeking ways to add quirky ‘real world’ maths to lessons next year I’ve updated my blog index robeastaway.com/blog/blog-index . You can use it to find odd applications of (say) quadratic equations. It’s the sort of thing you might use as a lesson starter (1/3)
