savings-and-investments-matter Better Giving provides impact stakeholders with the tools to fundraise, coordinate, and invest capital.

As @chronphilanthropy.bsky.social says this week, Endowments matter - good financial stewardship means nonprofits should make the most of their donations. Better Giving helps by reducing the cost to them right from the start. better.giving/blog/savings...

What's with all the awful 'Sway' stuff I am seeing? anyone got any good examples? Think I prefer Digitalbrain from 1999 !

🎓 Because kids graduate.
🧠 Minds grow.
💡 Mathematics can be fun without dressing it up in chocolate.
👉 Will you, will your school, step up to multiplication mastery with Timbles? Give it a go right now for free-forever, or sign up for the full schools service. Read the blogs for the reasoning.

In Timbles, the mathematics itself is the game.
The thrill comes from solving puzzles, cracking the challenge, building mastery.
No disguises needed. Every day brings fresh challenges. Every practice becomes a learning opportunity, not an exercise in failure.
Quick to play, surprisingly addictive.

For younger kids, dressing up or singing songs may make maths less scary.
But as they get older? That can feel feel childish.
Learners are ready for a real challenge, one that - like counting sticks - respects their intelligence.
That’s where Timbles comes in.

Remembering multiplication facts doesn’t need dressing up like chocolate-covered broccoli. They can be fun in themselves. Well, that’s what I think and that’s one of the reasons I built Timbles.com

That’s what makes Timbles formative, not just summative.
It turns mistakes into memory-building moments.
Try it with your class - or for yourself: Use the groups feature to challenge your friends and colleagues.
Child-friendly not childish! (3/3)

Timbles is different.
When a learner gets an answer wrong, they MUST correct it themselves before continuing. And can take as many attempts as they wish.
No skipping. No giving up.
Every error becomes a chance to learn. (2/3)

Most times tables apps treat mistakes like failure. ❌
You get a cross, 'maybe' the right answer and move on.
That’s a summative test, not learning. (1/3)

Practice is key - maybe take a look at my new times tables venture built on 30 years of teaching experience - timbles.com?

The logged in student version does not have social sharing. :)

I know that feeling! Speed or accuracy...

although sometimes I also get a 'block' - For me, 8 x 4 was/is sometimes a blocked fact. Not saying what I often automatically type as then it will be engrained again and I am just getting over it!

Ok. Give it a try. Extreme challenge is now live. Think I got the bugs out! Remember, the main aim of Timbles is to help people with multiplication so ‘extreme’ might not be for some!

Coming soon!

Going on holiday to Schengen area? I do a lot. So created track90.co.uk to help me, well, keep track of my 90/180 days! Try it. It’s free to use.

Nice! Gone green. Might have to add an ‘expert’ daily challenge!

Hmm. Not sure why. Sorry for the delayed reply, gotta look at Bluesky more!

But you got green!
