Emily Rae

I've had some years where I've had my own classroom, and others where I've moved around. I think it cannot be overstated how much of a positive difference having one room makes. Moving around sucks.

Me on fire marshal duty when the fire alarm goes off and we weren't expecting a drill 😆

There's nothing like the feeling of arriving home late and tired from work, and finding something you cooked when you were refreshed and motivated in the freezer 😊

A portion of Brazilian chickpea curry in a cream coloured pasta bowl, with rice, yoghurt and (maybe controversially) coriander

Five takeaway containers filled with meal prepped portions of the same curry, to be frozen

Summer holiday meals be like, one portion for current Emily, five portions for future exhausted term-time Emily 😋🍲 #Organised

Lovely seaside retirement house. All the benefits of a retirement complex (laundry room, extra visitor bedrooms to rent) in a separate house away from the main block. 5 mins walk from Cromers’s seafront.

It was my mum’s & is full of happy memories.

Wow, I can't even imagine how many hours of videos he's made... definitely no shame in only getting to D!
Why not just make sure you've watched the topics you'll be teaching before half term/Christmas? Plenty of time for the later topics 😊

But even I didn't get as much done as I thought I might!

I had a few things on my to-do list (such as making some booklets) which I have partially done... but mainly because the first two weeks of the holiday I was having my kitchen refitted, so I had a lot of time where I was hanging around the house!

I agree, confidence intervals should be in A Level maths, I the normal distribution section. They're also in Core maths.

An interesting read!

Brilliant! 😆

Mathematician is on the list? Err, have they ever tried asking an AI model to make a maths worksheet with answers? It just makes up a bunch of incorrect answers that look plausible...

🤣

Girls are allowed to participate in regular maths competitions too; the Olympiad is just an extra. But I don't really have a strong opinion either way.

Do you feel the same way about women's football?

I've never entered students for the MOG, so don't have much of an opinion on it. I think anything that widens participation in higher level maths is a good thing, though. Girls tend to be less confident in their maths ability (even the very good ones) in my experience.

Good call! 😁

An ID badge on a purple lanyard. The badge has a photo of me, with my name and Teacher of Maths. There are assorted items of lanyard bling along the length of it - mainly pin badges with silly maths jokes and a pin from my university reunion (Collingwood College, Durham)

Engaging in risky summer holiday behaviour. Have taken my lanyard out of its usual spot in my car, as the car is going into a garage for some repairs. Now wondering where is best to leave it so that first-day-of-term Emily doesn't have to do a panicked search 🤣

A lot of people use it as a euphemism for "hell"

I'll post an update as soon as I come out of my meeting with HR 🤣🤣

Nice bit of real life data to work into a statistics or #CoreMaths lesson... could probably argue it ticks the British Values box, too 🤣 #MathsToday

Sounds a lot like my first year at university

If you *were* interested, a really good thing you could do is follow me in case I announce something.

Also, it would only work if a good core of enthusiastic folk from both teams engaged with it, so sharing this post would let more people know about it.

I was trying to remember if I used a CD for that. I think we had the MP3 files saved somewhere!

Quite a few of these things were still in use when I was a student, but by the time I started teaching (2007-8) it was just computer rooms, USB sticks, and possibly CD/DVD players (although I never had much use for them in my maths lessons)

If you're just clicking through a PowerPoint, that's a conversation for the individual with their line manager. No need for a whole school gimmicky day to prevent a couple of people from doing it!

I don't understand any of these themed days to be honest... pen-free, electricity-free, paper-free... they just seem like gimmicks that make teaching harder than it already is.

Hello. I am a teacher in any TV series or film. I teach right up until the bell goes, at which point my class just packs up and starts to walk out, even though I am mid-sentence in teaching them something important. I shout at them that their assignments are due tomorrow as they walk out.

The original graph was a resource histogram for critical path analysis, so probably wouldn't need gaps 🙂

I love how a post about me being too lazy to do a task properly has sparked an entire conversation about better ways to make custom axes. This is the kind of content I'm here for 🙌😁
