I concur. It fits my teaching style

Oh I need one of these. We live near Paultons park so I tend to sing peppa pig music throughout modeling with trig!

Also in #MathsToday I finished teaching OCR MEI's numerical methods unit for the first time.

This was with a bunch of students the standard I have never seen before in 17 years of teaching A levels. The questions were deep and true to form they continued to ask right to the end.

The collaboration was really good. I have a particularly loud bunch of enthusiastic mathematicians and this really kept them busy and challenged.

#MathsToday

It's teddy bear time!

I've never been in a political party before. But this week I was many of the droves of people joining the green party.

I look forward to being an activist in a party that has the right policies.

We do it Sixth Form College (rarely). It can be done in schools too, but schools got more money per head for post 16 so probably never wanted to.

(Or college)

To make it 'sciency' and continue to make maths teachers look like the difficult ones in training.

I'd love a big meal to cost that!

Thanks for the validation!

How much mathsing is too much mathsing?

Asking for a friend...

Good stuff. I've not started hassling my members yet... always sad not to be first to win these things but my college is much improved in activism!

Thank you. If you could encourage colleagues to too, it'd be appreciated.

Do you work in a 6th Form College (under red book conditions)? Are you in the NEU (if not please join us!)

If so
Vote ACCEPT on pay
Vote REJECT on conditions

That way we can protect our sector for now and the future

It's a dystopian art deco. The artwork that came with the game is framed and on the wall, as well as characters from the game. Mustard walls though so it's quite statement.

I'm fine with all other rooms, but bathrooms. And annoyingly I've got 4 of them 🤦‍♀️

I themed one up as a boardgame though 🤣

It took me months to choose tiles for my bathroom. So uninteresting. The bathroom still isn't done over a year later

Government continues to underfund education and add to the retention crisis

What is dispute about

We’re into week two of the ballot, time to get back to basics.

Why vote? Because your voice is the only way to change what’s happening in our sector:
📉 Falling pay
⚠️ Rising insecurity
💬 Broken national agreements

Every vote counts.
Vote YES. Post your ballot.

One day. My youngest kid is way ahead in maths with little effort and currently HATES maths because it's my subject.

My eldest believes that I have good methods but only because I published a book. That was a lot of effort to get his approval.

Spent far too many hours playing around with applications of De Moivres theorem this week.

But the good news is that I've prepared 8 pages and worked solutions for the *TLMaths The A-Level Further Maths Core Pure Textbook Part 2*

We really need to think about sensible names for books in future

I'm going to see if I can finally getting round to using the NEAB papers i revised with

In #MathsToday (actually Friday) I gave my year 12 students a question from 1961 which I found in book my colleague found in a charity shop.

They were loving it. Plus I was loving the discussion on how one would solve it using numerical methods without a calculator.

Been off sick a couple of days which is always tricky.

Came back to find this on one of my side boards. Got to love my students

Busy week ahead. I'm about halfway teaching a numerical methods unit for the first time, and it's been fun!

Focus finally switching to writing a textbook...

Tbh it's all about tornado springs.

I mean I have... but I'm not that experienced
