He features enough in the background! 😂 you’re welcome! Hope it’s what you needed!

Picture of me, a blonde lady wearing glasses, trying to record a video, sat at my piano, with shelves of photographs and a bookcase behind me… with a black cockapoo sneaking into shot.

Took me an extra 10 mins to record a video for @learningmaths.bsky.social today because Albie wouldn’t get out of shot…

😘😘😘

@arithmaticks.bsky.social presented to our year 1 @teachfirst.bsky.social maths trainees this afternoon. There’s something special about watching a friend be an absolute pro at their job.

Every year I think “I should ask Jonny to make me one of these” and every year I forget.
Can I please have one? And I’ll come pick it up so we can have a catch up too!

** Main Stage Speaker Announcement ** The fantastic Jennifer Webb will be presenting on the main stage at Teachers Talk Connect 2026! Join her for a session focussed on school improvement, Join us in Manchester on Saturday 14th March 2026 here (for free): ttradio.org/connect2026

Teachers Talk Connect 2026 | Teachers Talk Radio The multi subject national event from TTR - Free for teachers!

Want to be involved and present? 💬
Please let me know and we can discuss your topic and get you signed up!

If you’re not up for speaking, it's still a fantastic day to attend, network, & geek out with teachers from across the UK. 🤓

Find all the details and sign up at www.ttradio.org/connect2026

The event runs in a "TeachMeet" style, with speakers sharing for about 10 minutes.
We are particularly keen to hear from Maths teachers ready to share that brilliant:
✏️Teaching & Learning Strategy
📝 Game-Changing Resource
🧮 Mathematical Idea that has genuinely transformed student understanding.

📐 Call for Maths Teachers: Share Your Best Ideas! 💡

I'm excited to be supporting @ttradioofficial.bsky.social with running of Teachers Talk Connect 2026!
We are currently trying to find speakers for the Mathematics strand. 👩🏼‍🏫👨🏽‍🏫

🗓️ When: Saturday, March 14th, 2026
📍 Where: Central Manchester

Is there any better feeling than being greeted with “SLAY, MISS!!” by a Year 11 student first thing on a Tuesday? 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️
Probably not 😂

This is ace! Which maths hub is that? Great idea.

Yeah, which is such a shame because education should be about the learning, not the performance 😢

I would avoid teaching SOH CAH TOA too for the same reasons!
I’m not against the formulae themselves, just want an understanding of where they come from. If we were all on that wavelength I think it would support us across both subjects.

Yes apologies, I think my comment is where this turned and I’m similarly not trying to have a go at science teachers, more that this might mean we could share practice much better if this is the emphasis! I feel like many more of the maths community are with me on understanding via proportionality.

My excitement at this was palpable… can I finally get science teachers to do away with formula triangles?! 😂

Me and @studymaths.bsky.social always do the “foundation paper challenge” to see how much of the papers you can do with a ratio table every exam series - it’s a LOT!

Question:
What does “variation” look like in subjects that AREN’T maths?
Are there some subjects where the theory doesn’t really apply?

Got to talk to all of my maths colleagues across Astrea Academies tonight about ratio tables across the curriculum 😍😍😍
Total privilege and so excited to see how it impacts teaching and learning for our scholars 🤩

Yes! The wheel equally shines light on the thing you don’t want, when you THOUGHT you didn’t care 🤣

Wheel Decide Can't decide? Wheel Decide for you! Set your own custom choices and then spin the wheel to make the random decision (lunch, movie, anything!)

I use something like wheeldecide.com in these moments. Often people know what they really want when it looks like it might be another alternative.
If they really don’t care, it picks for you.

I’d only really do this with my higher tier groups. But if we drill this enough they’re able to recreate the table in 30 seconds or so.
For foundation, I show them the table with the simplified versions, then ask them to use it a lot and hope some stick. Sometimes drill the 0.5 and 1s…

Exact trigonometric values in a table for 0, 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees for sine cosine and tangent.

Often I show the triangles to derive and then we fill in a table like the image. Relies on strong surds.
Sin & cos: both have every value over 2.
Sin goes root 0, root 1, root 2, root 3, root 4 (all over 2) then simplify.
Cos in reverse.
Tan = sin/cos mrlyonsmaths.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/trig...

Lovely evening seeing @standupmaths.bsky.social in Leeds with @miriammason.bsky.social 🤩 great show, nerdy and funny in equal measure!

Reached a point where I am starting to have “inside jokes” with some of my Year 11 classes now and it’s making my lessons with them so much more enjoyable - I love the part where you finally feel like you’re getting to know them and feeling like a team 🤩
