Recently I was playing with the Square-Sums Puzzle (as explored previously by @standupmaths.bsky.social on Numberphile) and realised it would be fun for schools. So here is a FREE teacher resource: think-maths.co.uk/square-sums (and enjoy its use being modelled by my in-house mathematician below).

Finally got round to trying to book appt to donate blood, to discover I can't donate blood because I had a blood transfusion a couple of years ago (which, ironically, is what prompted me to donate blood). Wishing I'd done it more times before. Someone else do it for me!

I've talked about maths in worse places. Very much enjoying my little 2/3 day break. Some lovely work, and some lovely exploring.
