✨ I’m working with a young person who struggles to engage with Maths and lacks confidence. Lego construction sets have sparked his interest 🧠🧱. If you have any unused sets and would be happy to donate them to Drumchapel High School, it would mean so much πŸ™

Loved seeing the impact of #Maths lessons taught with a #SocialJustice lensβ€”focusing on collective responsibility & supporting each other 🀝 when mistakes happen through real-life examples 🌍.

Colonization took away so much more than land and resources. It took away identity, tradition, rituals, names, history

The magic of 2025, itself is a square 45 x 45 = 2025

It's the first square after 1936

It's also the sum of cubes, of all the single digits, from 1 to 9, 1Β³+2Β³+......9Β³= 2025

Happy New Year 😍

Happy Fibonacci Day! πŸŽ‰
Interesting Story:
Zero, introduced by Indian mathematician Brahmagupta, faced resistance in Europe, which used Roman numeralsβ€”lacking a zero.
Fibonacci challenged this, showing the power of zero. A great story for the classroom! #LoveMaths
