I hope my Year 10s have enjoyed their summer holiday work, which included various options from the likes of @ayliean.bsky.social, @tibees.bsky.social, @elliesleightholm.bsky.social, @meimaths.bsky.social, @nrichmaths.bsky.social, @simonsinghnerd.bsky.social, and @desmos.com.

A screenshot of the following text: In case you want to do something a bit different, here's some other Mathematical things you can do over the Summer: 1) Watch some Mathematical YouTube videos. I'd suggest: Ayliean - https://www.youtube.com/@Ayliean/videos Tibees - https://www.youtube.com/@tibees/videos Ellie Sleightholm - https://www.youtube.com/@EllieSleightholm/videos 2) Do some Mathematical art. Lots of ideas here: https://www.artfulmaths.com/blog 3) Play a Mathematical game. I strongly recommend the Sumaze games (https://www.mei.org.uk/sumaze/) and Euclidea (https://www.euclidea.xyz/) 4) Read a Mathematical book. Some good suggestions here: https://nrich.maths.org/recommended-books 5) Watch a Mathematical film/documentary. I'd suggest: Hidden Figures, The Man Who Knew Infinity, or Fermat's Last Theorem (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074rxx/horizon-19951996-fermats-last-theorem), 6) Have a go at some Mathematical puzzles. https://nrich.maths.org/students/secondary 7) Explore Mathigon. There's lots of really cool stuff on there. https://mathigon.org/activities 8) Sign up to Parallel and have a go at some of the Parallelograms puzzles: https://parallel.org.uk/parallelograms?latest=1 9) Create some Desmos art: https://www.desmos.com/art

New post! The Option Block Experiment.

Many teachers have asked me to explain how we deliver GCSE Stats & L2 FM so I've written about it: www.resourceaholic.com/2025/08/the-...

Hope it's helpful for schools considering this approach.

Linking ratio and algebra with Y10 #MathsToday
A bar model showing 4 parts for A and 5 for B. Text underneath reads: A : B = 4:5 A is 4 of the 5 equal parts which make B. A is 4/5 of B. A =4/5*B There are similar statements for B is terms of A which are half covered up by grey boxes. 6 questions following the same format as the previous slide. A handwritten annotation next to the first question reads x is _ of the _ equal parts that make y

In #MathsToday we have been doing some calculations using the #CoreMaths preliminary material on wind turbines. Apparently 7000 wind turbines could generate enough power for every household in the UK - who knew?
Thanks to @reflectivemaths.bsky.social for the great familiarisation sheet.
