Normally I load up my kindle for a summer holiday but this year I’m driving to France so allowed myself actual books and they spark so much more joy! What’s everyone reading this summer?
I feel like these dahlias loosely fit the #MathsOnHoliday theme. There’s gotta be a golden ratio or Fibonacci spiral or something? Anyway, they’re pleasing
Ready for my Teach First National Gathering session. In #MathsToday we are looking at ratio and doing plenty of practice of I Do, We Do, You Do and lots of mini-whiteboards.
Very last-day-before-summer vibes at PMQs, I see. Why not just play a massive game of the Pirate Game?
Getting this in the post from my boss as a thank-you for our busy period ❤️
Mark Carney for me. Always makes me think of my brief spell working at mumsnet. He was governor of the Bank of England and mumsnetters thought he was incredibly sexy
What a gorgeous morning to be up and out early to cover an @actiontutoring.org.uk session with some delightful year 6s. Worked through some lovely White Rose problems #MathsToday ☀️
Slide rules at the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm #MathsOnHoliday
Spring is in the air this morning. I feel this weird sense of hope! ☀️🌼
In #MathsToday I had a great time geeking out on my @ncetm.bsky.social PD Lead course in a lovely school in sunny West London
Really enjoy my Wednesday morning @actiontutoring.org.uk sessions, especially as they take me through Greenwich Park on mornings like this
This is a long shot but don’t suppose anyone recognises this question from anywhere? #MathsToday
Interesting from “Learning about mathematics teaching from other countries” by Dylan William (chapter in Debates in Mathematics Education)
When you get back from holiday to this package from your boss as a thank you for your hard work 🤓
Got this question from old Dr Frost slides but haven't got an answer or mark scheme. I feel like There are two possible ks and so two possible answers for (d) but the question isn't really worded that way. Any ideas? #MathsToday #ALevelMaths
How do we know which x to make the subject here to get an 'appropriate iteration formula'? #MathsToday
In #MathsToday I have seen several incorrect formulae triangles for speed and this shocker from a Y13. Graphs and formulae all the way
Is this a rule of probability? Feels right but I'm not sure and using it seems to be causing some issues... #ALevelMaths #MathsToday
Interesting choice of colours here. Is @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social trying to distance herself from Labour? Most interesting thing is I know for a fact she isn’t my MP. I moved in the boundary changes and @elliereeves.bsky.social is my MP
This formula is in the Edexcel A Level formula sheet but I’m not really sure they need it. Is there anything this is needed/useful for? Don’t think it’s referenced in the textbook #MathsToday #ALevelMaths
Way to rub it in on Valentine’s Day @teachertapp.bsky.social
Saw this on New York Times games and assumed I was looking for assembly theses from @jameshandscombe.bsky.social
Another, 'I don't get this in the textbook' question. This is just a mistake right? We should be using the z-score for 0.9 which is 1.2816 (not 1.6449) right? #CoreMaths #MathsToday
Is there a reason to use the standardised normal distribution to find the critical region here? Everything I'm looking at does it this way, but you can get the critical values from Inverse Normal section of your calculator because you know mu and sigma so why do this? #MathsToday #ALevelMaths
Am I bugging? Thought TES jobs would be it’s own section. Not even sure what section it comes under? Newspaper? @teachertapp.bsky.social
