Head of Maths in Oxford, teaching everything up to A level Further Maths. Mentor for trainee teachers. Interested in all creative ideas in the classroom.
I have a team of Maths Ambassadors, their role is to promote the subject throughout the school. To launch Maths Week they ran an amazing assembly to our junior school on Fibonnaci. It started with dressing up a volunteer as Fibonacci and ended with a challenge of finding the golden spiral in nature.

If anyone was thinking of getting a SIGNED copy of The Mathematicians' Library for someone for Christmas, I have 42 copies ready and raring to go: £25 (+ £5 delivery in the UK unless you can pick it up from Milton Keynes).

As always, a boost of this post would be much appreciated 😁

Huge thanks to @mathforge.org for organising the inaugural Oxfordshire Youth Maths Conference this week. Our 6 students who participated loved it and my colleague who took them said it was just right-- superb presentations by the students, not too long and the right number of breaks. Congrats!

Hi maths teachers. I don't suppose anybody would ever willing to share a lesson on telling the time on an analogue clock for year 7 (set 9 of 9), please. My laptop has broken, yesterday of all days, so I am in a bit of a pickle this week. Thank you in advance

I recently ran a Maths Song Competition across both our senior and junior school. Although I had fewer entries than some of my previous competitions, the winning entries really blew me away with their creativity, collaboration, and cross curricular skills.

#ALevelMaths teachers! The free Oxford livestreams for the MAT and PAT start this week (PAT on Wednesday, MAT on Thursday) - if you have any students applying to Oxford for Maths, or Physics/Engineering, I would encourage them to join. I've had students in the past who have found these useful 😊

If you have 5 mins and can help me with this YouTube nonsense instructions at the end of this video. It won't take long but will flag the videos to them. Appreciate retweets. If this gets resolved I can get back to making papers!

In #mathstoday we were let down by a company for our curriculum enhancement week in 2 weeks time. Does anyone have any suggestions of people /companies we could try (I know it's short notice) ideally based near Norfolk who could come to us. We have 100 students to keep amused on Fri 20th June 🙏

Any maths teachers out there use or have used Complete Maths?

@mathsjem.bsky.social would be grateful of a share. :)

Really enjoyed hosting the UKMT Team Challenge yesterday. Lots of organising for the day to run smoothly, but mission accomplished!

Does anyone know of any Desmos courses? My colleague has looked into those run by AMSP but these appear to be only open to teachers at maintained schools (we are independent). Grateful for any suggestions 😊
