Feel so privileged to be part of this. The atmosphere of 900+ people keenly learning maths in this theatre is amazing.

Hello Maths Teachers, can anyone help me find a set of worksheets/booklets for the Edexcel Entry Level Certificate for refugee children in my school? I a set for level 1 would be amazing to have a set for level 2 and 3 that they can work through. @mathsjem.bsky.social - would so appreciate a shout!

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).

I thought this was a maths puzzle with some significance about the numbers when I first read this...then read the rest of the thread. Hope you got home!

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 give you the earth (the tiny marble), Jupiter (the ball), the Sun (modelled as a disc, the table), and my son (not to scale), as a result of him coming home from nursery singing a song with lyrics 'our Earth is greater than the Sun'.

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

Cake(s) I made to celebrate every member of our family being a square age, in the square year (in other words, age 36, I made myself four birthday cakes).

My primary event (insidemaths.co.uk) @ri-science.bsky.social went fabulously last week. I'm ridiculously proud, (and glad I backed myself 8 months ago to single-handedly create and manage it). Amazing feedback (insidemaths.co.uk/feedback). Fab talks from
@robeastaway.bsky.social
and Fran Watson.
