Started the binomial expansion today with Year 12. Introduced it a different way to normal and it actually worked really well 😁 also started randomly assigning partners at the start of each lesson using playing cards - definitely recommend this for collaboration outside of friendship groups ♥️♠️♦️♣️

In #mathstoday, inspired by @colinfoster77.bsky.social’s Mathematical Etudes, we’ve been combining mathematical thinking and fluency practice 😁 lots of rich conversations all round. Not bad for the last day of a very long term! 😴

In #mathstoday this odd one out task worked really well and allowed us to recover quite a lot of important vocabulary 😁

Need some help from #coremaths peeps - trying to create bar models for tax & NI from the 2025 Paper 1 Prelim. Thoughts? Does it work? NI seems to but tax is messy. Not sure how to make the £100,000-£125,140 one any better. All feedback welcome! @reflectivemaths.bsky.social @ecrmaths.bsky.social

In #mathstoday there was much excitement from my Y7s when I told them the starter was a hidoku puzzle from @mathequalslove.bsky.social. Today’s was obviously Pi themed 🥧 😁

While the small people are occupied in the soft play, it’s time to get to grips with next week’s @ncetm.bsky.social subject knowledge session for non-specialists. We’re hitting algebra 🥳 I ❤️ this programme and the confidence it helps our so, so valuable non-specialists develop #mathscpd
