In lieu of grade boundaries, I showed them these histograms, of previous students grouped by the grade they ended up with. Took a bit of explaining, but I hope it helped them see what they were on track for, without me having to give them an explicit grade. #MathsToday

I needed a hint today but I’m sharing mainly because it looks like this clue is from @drwilkinsonsci.bsky.social 👏🏼

❤️ Love this ❤️

@mathforge.org has done what I’ve never been organised enough to do myself, and catalogued every #geometrypuzzle I’ve ever posted on social media. It looks amazing!

Worked hard on a big revision of my risps. Weeding out mistakes, making tasks clearer, writing Geogebra and Excel files, all with better navigation; look out for the free eBook coming out in January!

Too many lessons are filled with checking what pupils know rather than helping them learn something new.

The lurgy finally got me this week but we still managed to head out last night for a night of utter silliness at the wrestling.

Feeling quite pleased with this.

Went to watch Everton Women’s Team at Bramley Moore. Took this photo just before the second half, when we were still 1-0 up…

…and of course a massive thanks to everyone who delivered a session or who I chatted maths (and not maths) with today at MathsConf. Without you it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as enjoyable or thought provoking.
Now to navigate a different kind of problem… 🤣

Having told @teakayb.mathsy.space that people would definitely want to come to his session, I really had to choose it for session 5! Loved hearing about the research Tom and Jason carried out about embedding history into maths lessons. I’m also looking forward to reading Tom’s book #MathsConf39

By the afternoon I’d given up on taking photos, but I still found it really interesting to hear about how @justmaths.bsky.social gets such brilliant results from her pupils. Building belief, clear communication and no excuses underpinning everything #MathsConf39
October 11, 2025 at 6:03 PM
Always fascinating to get a window on how other people teach specific topics; like this from @jwrightmaths.bsky.social in session 3 #MathsConf39
October 11, 2025 at 3:24 PM
Loved discussing some excellent maths tasks in @nathanday.bsky.social’s session. Great to have the opportunity to dig into what makes them so good and how they could be adapted. #MathsConf39

Thoroughly enjoyed solving problems in Rob Eastaway’s session. Important to remember that so much mathematical thinking can take place way before getting to a solution. #MathsConf39

After going to the "Exam Insights Summer 2025" CPD session by Pearson Edexcel, it made me think of the below questions. We'll discuss this at the start of my workshop on "Moving 'em up to the next grade!" for #ALevelMaths #MathsConf39 @lasalleed.bsky.social
