Below is an excerpt from the late, great Vicky Neale’s book β€˜Closing the Gap’.

Two sides of the pencil 😍 show numbers that are 2 mod 3. Prime numbers are shown in red.

Does anyone know where we can buy this pencil? πŸ™

Those of you who teach the topic of circular motion in A level Further Maths Mechanics, do you use the term 'centripetal force'? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the specifications I've looked at, though it is in A level Physics specifications. #ALevelMaths

This year, I read my first graphic biography (Muybridge by Guy Delisle) and absolutely loved it.

Maybe the right author can take us on a journey where each image delivers a clear, bite-sized idea, without the message getting lost in noise?

Not unlike a good maths teacher, really.

This is a maths πŸ†˜ Please send help!

In the grid, we can see exactly one multiple of 5 in each column.

If I generalise the grid method for a coprime positive integer pair a and b with a<b we will have a columns and b rows. How do I prove that there is only one multiple of b in each column?
