When your year 11 daughter asks for a revision guide to make sure she’s got the basics, where else are you going to look?! @justmaths.bsky.social

This, on a theatre round the corner from my house, is annoying me more than it should.

I’m about 1/4 of the way through and big recommend for this by @georginasturge.bsky.social

Stats has never been my favourite thing, but this is properly interesting.

What a great parcel to come home to!

And now @yorkshire-steve.bsky.social is starting to share the thinking behind Ofsted’s Co-ordinating Mathematical Success report

It’s great to be with senior leaders from across the @jurassicmaths.bsky.social and @codemathshub.bsky.social, region coming together to consider evidence based practice with @catscutt.bsky.social

Great to have Steve Wren speaking to maths subject leads from the @jurassicmaths.bsky.social and @codemathshub.bsky.social region

It’s fair to say that I got some ‘odd’ looks taking this picture at Paddington today but I thought it was a really interesting set up! How many cubicles are there in total? How do you know?

Totally agree with this from @ruthtrundley.bsky.social at the Jurassic Conference…

“Teach patiently” feels like one of those phrases that’s really simple but captures so much. I really agree with this conclusion from the latest @atmmathematics.bsky.social journal…

I like this.
I think we often assume that mathematical thinking is a special thing. My reading of this is that it’s a sharper focus on a particular subset of things that we probably do anyway.

What a lovely thing to come home to!

The first blue door here is beach hut number 297.
Could the repeating colour pattern be maintained throughout the whole stretch of beach huts? How do you know?

The first blue door here is beach hut number 38.

Great to see Jess’ article in the latest edition of Mathematics Teaching from @atmmathematics.bsky.social

I’ve just looked up the ppt - the task I used was from @profsmudge.bsky.social’s Algebradabra book - here’s the slide (I can’t get Bluesky to insert a screenshot so this is a low tech version!)

Absolutely this (from @NCETM in response to the Oracy Commission’s report)

I was on a train when I did it, so it’s a bit scrappy! These are my notes…

Question from my daughter’s home work.

For you, would this task fall into the category of ‘multiplicative reasoning’ or is it something else? If so, what?!
