Die Schwebebahn! I forgot I went on that some 20+ years ago. There used to be a cheap weekend travel ticket so we covered as many NRW towns as we could

Euler seems to be the first ref I can find. He uses explicit for variables that can be stated directly in terms of others, and then uses implicit as the opposite - those that can’t be expressed directly. He was writing in Latin - explicitas (unravelled); implicitas (entwined)

And instead of a 'soul-sapping' year of GCSE resit, they'll now get two soul-sapping years

@draustinmaths.com Thank you for generously sharing all your resources - your site was my first thought when students needed more practice on building up sketches of quadratics!

I remember my brain dislocating slightly when Derek Holt introduced this in Linear Algebra! Seems like he's still going at Warwick

I find formulas obfuscate the idea. As others have said it's always the angle between the initial and final velocity vectors. I give classes this to help them realise why formulas aren't great

I’m kinda curious what happens as this number gets bigger. Will it start using standard form? A couple more emails today will get me to 5 digits

It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

I strongly believe you should make your house exactly how you want it - enjoy it to the max! We’re going shower-only when we redo our bathroom. As and when the time comes, future buyers can make it how they want. Same as for decor really.

I’ve got an oldish Macbook Air that won’t update to whatever random name MacOS has now. This would be fine except half the appa (including Office) have updated themselves just to be able to tell me they can no longer run! Why couldn’t they just stop updating after the last functioning version?! 😭

I’m not normally one for wacky theories, but I think there is research about bisphenols in thermal printing paper. EU banned one type a few years ago
