Imperial weights and measures will be back in the classroom in radical shake-up of maths lessons
23:54 BST, 8 January 2013
09:02 BST, 9 January 2013
Children will be required to learn imperial measures as part of the national curriculum for the first time in decades, in a radical shake-up of maths lessons.Education Secretary Michael Gove wants schools to ensure pupils have a firm grounding in the imperial units most commonly used – including miles, pints, feet and ounces.Schools have been required to teach metric units as the prime system of measurement since 1974.
Schools to ensure pupils have a firm grounding in the imperial units under plans announced by Education Secretary Michael Gove
Although metric units will still be taught as 'standard', schools will now be expected to improve children's understanding of imperial units to reflect their continued widespread use on the roads, to measure height and for many basic goods, including milk.The current curriculum merely asks that pupils are familiar with the names of imperial measures and know approximate conversions into the metric system.But the Government yesterday revealed it intended to 'go further' to increase the rigour of maths lessons and improve children's fluency in dealing with both sets of measures. A revised maths curriculum for primary schools will 'include explicit reference to miles'.

According to drafts of the curriculum, pupils will now be required to 'use, read, write and convert between standard units...including between miles and kilometres'.They will also need to 'understand and use basic equivalencies between metric and common imperial units'.The plans emerged in response to a Commons written question by Andrew Percy, Tory MP for Brigg and Goole. Mr Percy, a teacher, said he was pleased the Government had backed his call to 'improve and extend teaching of imperial measurements'.
Imperial units continue to have widespread use on the roads, to measure height and for many basic goods, including milk
'The idea that these measures are “old money” and outdated is rubbish and we have got to make sure that kids know how to use both.'Of course everyone has to learn metric as well,' Mr Percy said. 'Some professions are completely metric.'Plans for a new primary curriculum, along with other subjects at primary and secondary level, are to be published in the next few weeks. Ministers intend to introduce them in September 2014.Education Minister Liz Truss said: 'We propose to include imperial units within the new programmes of study for mathematics.'Officials said the Government was adding more elements to the curriculum, including an increased focus on imperial units, but insisted the initiative would not entail 'significant' change.'Imperial units are in the current curriculum and will be in the new curriculum. Both the mathematics and science curriculum will continue to teach metric measures as standard,' said a spokesman for the Department for Education.However, the additional emphasis on imperial units will dismay campaigners, including the UK Metric Association.Lord Howe, the former Tory Cabinet minister, earlier this year called on ministers to end the 'deeply confusing shambles' of using a mixture of metric and imperial measures.He warned: 'The only solution is to complete the changeover to metric as swiftly and as cleanly as possible.'

Finance reports are not always the most interesting news out there - so David Koch attempted to lighten the tone a little on Thursday morning.Presenting the finance report on Sunrise, David 'Kochie' Koch got rather excited about a boost in the US stock market, and accidentally strayed out of the studio lights.After being reprimanded by his crew, the shot cut away to economist Savanth Sebastian, but when it came back Kochie was standing in a completely unlit corner.

One day in the life of Rubio the Robot: 12 hours campaigning, dozens of handshakes, five stops - but just one speech
is taking heat for his canned talking points and stumbled badly in this weekend's Republican debatesHe hit the road today with and asked rhetorical question: 'Why do you keep saying the same thing about
trying to change America?' His response? 'I'm going to say it a million times because I think it's true.'The rest of his speech featured plenty of familiar soundbites - and was during a campaign stop at a factory which specializes in robotsHe used identical words as he had used on his last visit to Nashua - a year ago His favorite phrase appears to be 'a referendum on our identity' which was used in two of the two campaign stops (not to mention in 2015!)By

Marco Rubio is nothing if not consistent. Close to twelve hours after he began his day campaigning in New Hampshire he ended it with a rally in Nashua Community College – looking and sounding exactly the same as he had that morning.Not a hair was out of place nor a line misspoken. Welcome to a day in the life of Senator Rubio: five tour stops, several hundred hand shakes, dozens of stories heard and just one speech portioned up and delivered over and over again.The Nashua crowd may have been slightly diminished by the snowstorm – reserved seats went unclaimed and the decision to move the rally into the gymnasium to accommodate numbers left the venue a touch sparse. But there were still close to 400 New Hampshire voters out to support Rubio with less than 24 hours to go before polling begins.Before he took to the stage, it was announced that ‘Fox’s own Megyn Kelly’ would conduct a brief interview at the far end of the gymnasium.Scroll down for video

Close to 400 New Hampshire voters came to support Rubio in New Hampshire, with less than 24 hours to go before polling begins
Megyn Kelly came to conduct a brief interview of Rubio at 6:45 before he went onstage, but the crowd couldn't hear what they were sayingAt 6.45, fifteen minutes after the rally was scheduled to begin, Rubio and Kelly emerged and took their seats on a raised platform in front of the cameras.Rubio’s appearance was met with a swell of chants of ‘Marco! Marco! Marco!’ ‘Don’t say Polo’ he joked as he looked out over the field of banners raised above heads.While hair and make-up fluttered around Kelly, Rubio looked more like the plus one in this scenario with every passing moment.With the interview underway and inaudible to the crowd the supporters in the hall were relegated to extras in this television moment – a backdrop testament to Rubio’s popularity. A flurry of excitement came with an outburst of protesters towards the back, but their shouts were quickly drowned out by Rubio’s ardent fans’ own chants.Finally, at 7.10 Rubio took to the stage accompanied by his wife, Jeanette and their children Amanda, Daniella, Anthony and Dominic.

A day in the life of Senator Rubio included five tour stops, several hundred hand shakes, dozens of stories heard and just one speech portioned up and delivered over and over againStanding there with his children, Rubio said ‘was a vivid reminder that this election is not a choice between the parties. It is a choice about what America is going to be like for our children.’In a rare ad lib he added: ‘I’d like to thank the people who were here screaming a few moments ago because that means they ‘re not out getting votes.’Queue laughter and applause.Rubio doesn’t need a script. The chip is embedded. All he needs to do is call up the data and deliver it. And so he did what he had done all day.He didn’t miss a beat. He dismissed Bernie Sanders – ‘a nice guy’ – as a socialist and stated that ‘just tonight it was confirmed that the FBI are investigating [Hillary Clinton’s] use of email.’‘We cannot have a Commander in Chief that lies to the relatives who have lost family members in Benghazi.’‘The Democrats do not want to run against me,’ he said, as he has stated many times over in GOP debates and at stump speeches. ‘They know if I’m the nominee we win. Hillary Clinton attacks me five times for every time she attacks any other Republican.’
Haven't I heard this before? Marco Rubio used a campaign stop at BAE Systems, a manufacturer which prides itself on investing in robotics
Hi-tech: Rubio was speaking at the Nashua, NH, center of BAE Systems. It prides itself on its advanced robotics - but Rubio was careful not to be photographed with one
Looking and pointing: It was a high-risk stump stop for Rubio but he made sure to avoid any pictures with robotsRubio’s trait of repeating the same line, over and over, with little variation has seen him lambasted in recent days and labeled a robot but throughout the day he was unapologetic and tonight was no different.‘I’m going to keep on saying it again and again,’ he said. ‘Barack Obama has damaged America.’He listed Obama’s failures, claiming he had undermined the constitution and the second amendment, that he had put Federal government in America’s schools and betrayed allies while cutting deals with the nation’s enemies such as Iran.‘When I am president,’ he told the crowd. ‘There will be a war on terror and if we capture a terrorist alive they’re going to go to Guantanamo.’Turning to his own narrative – as he has done at pretty much every speech, debate and interview since launching his campaign last April – he told the crowd.‘By now you know the story of my parents.‘The fact that a son of a maid and of a bartender can run for the same office and have the same chance as the son of a President and the son of a millionaire,’ he said. ‘I think that’s special.’He continued: ‘My parents lived the American dream – the American dream of being able to leave their children better off than themselves.‘It’s our obligation to ensure not just that [the dream] survives but that it reaches more lives than it has ever touched.’Anyone present earlier in the day could have been forgiven for feeling a distinct hint of déjà vu as the phrase was an almost pitch perfect echo of lines delivered at his first stop this morning.For a man who’s been accused of being Rubio the Robot that first visit was a brave decision that saw him heading to a company that prides itself on its use, development and championing of all things robotic.First on Rubio’s tour of New Hampshire this morning was a visit to BAE Systems, the British multinational defense, security and aerospace company whose Electronics System sector is headquartered in Nashua, New Hampshire where it employs some 11,200 locals. Today, however, Rubio managed to avoid the obvious gaffe of being photographed with a robot by restricting his tour to the foyer.And he unveiled a response to the critics who say he just repeats canned talking points - and promised to repeat it 'a million times'.
On reflection: Rubio was visiting BAE systems, New Hampshire's biggest manufacturing employee and a key supplier to the Pentagon. Among the military technology it provides are systems for the Air Force Rubio has been fighting for his reputation since Saturday night's Republican debate, when he delivered the line, 'Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.'
WHAT RUBIO THE ROBOT SAID - NOW AND LAST YEAR
Nashua, 8 February 2016My father was a bartender, my mother was a cashier at Kmart and a maid in Vegas.That's not just my story. That's our story as a people, as a nation.Nashua, 17 April 2015
Now that happens to be my story. That actually is our story. It defines us as a nation and as a people.That's not just my story, that's our story. This is who we are. And this is who we must still be. Nashua, 8 February 2016I'm running for President. I believe the twenty-first century can be the greatest era in history. It can be a new American century.Nashua, 17 April 2015 I believe with all my heart that America's greatest days are right around the corner. The twenty-first century will be the greatest era of our nation's history.
Then he delivered it again and again and again. In total Rubio repeated versions of the line five times – a fact that saw him roundly mocked as robotic and canned.Chris Christie slammed the Florida senator for his habit of repeating a 'memorized 25 second speech.'But today Rubio was unapologetic about his performance. He said: 'The press in particular say, 'Why do you keep saying the same thing about Obama trying to change America?''Then he answered the question himself: 'I'm going to say it a million times because I think it's true.'The response came in the course of a speech which had more than a hint of the familiar. 'My father was a bartender, my mother was a cashier at Kmart and a maid in Vegas.''That's not just my story,' he told the assembled crowd as he has told many hundreds before, 'That's our story as a people, as a nation.'The line played well – just as it did last April when he told an audience in Nashua itself the same story at the First in Nation Leadership Summit.After reciting the story of his parents' move from Cuba and humble life in America he concluded: 'Now that happens to be my story. That actually is our story. It defines us as a nation and as a people.'Later in that same speech he returned to the theme once more, stating again, 'That's not just my story, that's our story. This is who we are. And this is who we must still be.'That was not the only deja vu.'I believe the twenty-first century can be the greatest era in history,' he said at one point today, building to his climactic campaign tagline. 'It can be a new American century.'It's pretty much what he said in Nashua last April.Speaking then he said: 'I believe with all my heart that America's greatest days are right around the corner.'And, in an almost word for word version of today's speech, he expressed his belief that 'the twenty-first century will be the greatest era of our nation's history.'

- BAE Systems is the six-largest military supplier - and here too he stuck to the script, over and over again.Outlining the threats facing America today he said: 'We have a lunatic in North Korea…a traditional power like China…a non-state actor like ISIS…Russia which doesn't really have the same standing on the national stage as the United States does and then Iran – another rogue state.'

Later, when asked about the dwindling size of the US navy he trotted out a line he'd used in his opening preamble saying that soon 'we will have the smallest navy in 100 years.' From there it was a seamless segue into 'We have a lunatic in North Korea…a traditional power like China…' Wait, did somebody hit repeat?Asked by one member of the audience what he regarded as his 'single greatest accomplishment' Rubio humble bragged his way through a string of them.He began with the Eminent Domain Act 'that was my law.' He spoke of a book published under his watch, '100 Ideas for Florida's Future' – close to half of which, he said, have come to fruition. He told of the Girls Count Act as something which 'will never be on the front page of any newspapers' but that he would always consider one of his most significant achievements.And he pointed to a bill that increased sanctions on Hezbollah – a detail that seems not to have been removed from the script despite Chris Christie's intervention on Saturday night that Rubio never actually voted on it.'That's not leadership,' the New Jersey Governor stated. 'That's truancy.' At times Rubio seemed a little nervous, rubbing his hands together briskly as his eyes scanned the room looking for the next question.But when it came time to wrap things up he was positively boyish as he appealed, 'Can we just take one more? I don't often get to talk about these things in such depth. From BAE Systems the Rubio bus rumbled onto Windham and Mary Ann's Diner where he was being interviewed by theNBC Nightly News's Lester Holt.
On the road: Marco Rubio in Goffstown, New Hampshire, as he continued to hammer away at his campaign themes - with the same words
Seeking votes in the snow: At the Village Trestle in Goffstown, Rubio stuck to his tried and tested formula. Addressing the restaurant crowded with 150 loyal supporters he bullishly addressed what he described as 'this effort of Barack Obama to redefine the role that government plays'.With the snow starting to fall Rubio observed that his kids would be excited at getting another chance to build snowmen.Working his way through the diner packed with badge-wearing supporters Rubio gave a flawless performance. He was charming, he was warm, he was the opposite of a robot.He met bus boys and waitresses, volunteers and veterans and teachers enjoying a snow day. 'He's so gracious' one observed. 'I'm voting for you!' somebody shouted.At the next stop, Village Trestle in Goffstown, New Hampshire this afternoon Rubio stuck to his tried and tested formula.Addressing the restaurant crowded with 150 loyal supporters he bullishly addressed what he described as 'this effort of Barack Obama to redefine the role that government plays.'This deliberate attempt to change the country continues,' he added.Warming to his theme he went a step further in defending his oft repeated point.To the applause of the crowd he said, 'I don't know why more Republicans aren't saying the same thing.'
I don't know why more Republicans aren't saying the same thing
Marco Rubio steps up the defense of his canned soundbitesAs for the importance of the 2016 election if he hammered home his own particular take on proceedings in exactly the same words as he used this morning and last year. 'This is a referendum and what we are choosing is our identity.'Echoing what he said to the employees of BAE Systems and the people of Nashua last April he continued: 'We can either remain a great nation in decline or we can be greater than we've ever been.'Earlier in the day he spoke of the 'American dream' as something that, under his stewardship, 'won't just survive but will reach more people than ever before.'Standing before the crowd in Goffstown he shared the same sentiment, in almost exactly the same words.'We have the chance to do incredible things,' he told his supporters. 'We have the chance to have the American dream reach more people than it's ever reached.'He went onto reiterate an ambition he laid out last April in strikingly similar terms.Speaking today he told the crowd, 'We have the chance to make our kids freer and more prosperous than we are.'Last April he told supporters, 'I believe if we do certain things our children will be the freest and most prosperous Americans that have ever lived.'If Rubio is a Robot, there are plenty of voters who seem to be happy with his performance.
