Was in an art museum gift shop earlier, in Milan, and came across these round dice. Never seen them before, but found the idea an interesting hook for teaching around fairness when rolling dice. They're weighted, so it lands without rolling off the table!

I bought one because they look fantastic

Some good stuff from the OAT curriculum at the start of unit NP5 - just happened to be planning the same topic for year 7!

Questions in the image are from the booklet, page 4. There's more in the PPT/booklet that you may find useful

It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

Took a small group who attend Maths Club weekly to the Science Museum today. Had booked "Power Up" not looking at what it was. Turns out it was a gaming room with 160 retro to modern consoles to play. Was in heaven!
Great experience for the kids in the mix of visiting galleries

I've put together a topic list for students for GCSE Statistics Edexcel based on Paper 1 yesterday

Incredible, considering it took 2 mins from a simple prompt.

I can see potential in creating revision resources with this.

I'm planning to ask students to work through this before attending a lunchtime revision session (these are students I don't personally teach).

Following GCSE Stats exam today, some students asked for revision on the regression line.

Playing around with AI, asked it to create an interactive lesson - got this, which I think is incredible. Works better on a desktop. Interactive.

Some of the stuff it can generate is incredible, though! Been having fun trying different prompts

Asked Google to generate a video of a typical Maths lesson, and it gave this fantastic video - the teacher starts explaining, then abruptly walks away. Made me laugh🀣 (has audio)
