A miserable start to this Saturday morning. But that means that things can only get better for my exciting day speaking and listening at #REdBrum!

Open Patterns
When we teach students about patterns, we’re really teaching them how to begin to think algebraically. This is especially true when we use Growing Patterns or Visual Patterns from Fawn Nguyen…
A lovely variation of a growing patterns activity from @mikewiernicki.bsky.social. What if we give students an image of Stage 1 (instead of 1-3) & ask, "How might it grow?" B/c they create the pattern, students have "a real 'need' to know how to describe it."

Leaks suggest plans for a complete redesign of special educational needs and disabilities support in schools.
Strong indications that we will be seeing the schools white paper next week when parliament returns following the recess after the BBC reported leaked details on the SEND reforms this morning:

Math learning disability affects how the brain tackles problems, Stanford Medicine study shows
Stanford Health Care delivers the highest levels of care and compassion. SHC treats cancer, heart disease, brain disorders, primary care issues, and many more.
Really interesting article from
@stanfordmedicine.bsky.social today examining the difference between how those with maths learning difficulties compare two quantities with those that don't have the same difficulties.
Well worth a read - provides great insights.

Picture of me on my way to the train station
Early start this morning for my trip to London to take part in the @mathshorizons.bsky.social session looking at their new problem solving framework.
Looking forward to catching up with many of my friends and colleagues in maths education and getting into a fascinating area of debate.

That actually seems to suggest it is the whole expression - the radical expression. I guess it is one of those things like trapezoid/trapezium. In this country a trapezium has exactly one pair of parallel lines whereas a trapezoid has at least one pair in the US (as I understand it).

Haha, interestingly I always thought 'radical' was synonymous with surd, and didn't realise you applied it to all roots. Is it the symbol alone that it is the radical? Or the whole expression?

My week of website updating comes to a close with four new Frayer models on www.frayer-model.co.uk.
Two in the number section - surds and rational numbers
Two in the algebra section - coefficient and variable.
