Glad you enjoyed it Amie!
I also really enjoyed your session on Negatives, particularly the 180 degree turn for vectors showing our flipping of the counters. Game changer of an explanation.

Place value fun with @mrtaylormaths2.bsky.social - looking at how we can show decimal and percentage equivalents.

Please ignore me
x = 9 and x = -2
With x = 9 being the solution in this context

Could you make one that is solvable with an integer solution?

I like this question a lot, I'm going to use it with my year 9's for their Histogram recap lesson.

And conversely
13×326+2=4240

424 +4(0) = 424
42 + 4(2) = 50
5 + 3(0) = 5

So it does work when you iterate it too!

13×326=4238

423 +4(8) = 455
45 +4(5)= 65
6 + 4(5) = 26
2 + 4(6) = 26
Then doom loop

I'm guessing that if you're not sure if the abc+4d number is in the 13s then you can do ef+4g etc h+4i = 13×?
?

The Accidental Revolution: How Atomisation Unlocked Disciplinary Literacy in Our Maths Department When I first considered my department's priorities for the year, I admit, literacy was left to the side.

My latest article on substack, how i accidentally devekop my departments disciplinary literacy. open.substack.com/pub/fantasti...

Which base are we in? 🫣

The absolute last thing schools need right now - while dealing with an extremely tight funding settlement and rising poverty - is a radical overhaul of the exam system.

Rehearsal is so important and this post gives some great pointers!

Coaching Cut #14 Scaffold rehearsal and just-in-time feedback Coaching cuts: bite-sized tips for better coaching

It's what you do *and* the way that you do it that matters!*

In coaching, get the most from the powerful mechanism of rehearsal by using two key techniques:

👉 Scaffold rehearsal
👉Just-in-time feedback

One of my all-time favourite Substacks that gets to the nitty gritty of instructional coaching.

5 things to know about mental models Why do some teachers instinctively know which student to redirect with a glance and which one needs a quiet word at the door?

Talking about *mental models*? Make sure you know what you mean.

It’s a popular term often used loosely.

They aren’t just bits of knowledge. They’re situation-sensitive tools for thinking.

Another fantastic post. Literally did some of this on Thursday.
Next time it'll be even better.

Just up to the William Marshal chapter now 🤓

What a second half of the season we've had!

I've wondered the same.
Whether it's something to do with the algorithm or culture or demographics of BlueSky.

What are the other Twitter alternatives like?

On this Good Friday are you also like the chief priests rejecting Jesus for the world?

Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King? [Jesus]” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
John 19:15

I'd want loads and loads of links to The High Republic and the Prequel era. Stuff to make fans smile knowingly.

Tesseractic (a squared square) One of my favourite mathematical tangents is to do with indices (or if you prefer exponents). We have a² “a squared” or “a to the power of 2“ We also have a³ “a cubed”…
