Not resources as such, but a nice teaser. Why do mathematicians get Halloween and Christmas mixed up?

Numerologists take note: tomorrow, 27th September 2025, is a square date in both US and Everywhere Else notation.

5205ยฒ = 27092025 and 3045ยฒ = 9272025

This is the last time this will happen for a thousand years!

That's nice. It's always difficult to know what students can do to practice with them once they're written down

I wrote today to my MP, James Cleverly, about the cuts to the AMSP. I am not optimistic that much can be done, but you never know. If we could get every maths teacher to write then maybe they might think again. Maybe. #ALevelMaths

Changes to the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme - MEI Due to financial challenges faced by the government, the DfE has made the difficult decision to reduce funding for theโ€ฆ

Such sad news, which shows a huge lack of judgement. AMSP has a huge influence on promoting maths careers, enrichment and providing support for young people from disadvantaged areas to enjoy and excel in mathematics. So much for the UK being a world leader in STEM.
