@MrTaylorMaths2 Yes, good point. Just like how we dismiss the mean if there are extreme outliers which skew the data, so too this example would likely dismiss the mode as a suitable average

@DRoseMaths I think we'd say the mode is 12, 15 and 19.
Definition being the highest frequency.
We might discuss how useful a chosen average is.
English
4 important examples for teaching the mode...
Example 1:
23, 45, 36, 19, 23, 44, 19, 53, 23
Mode = 23
Example 2:
18, 17, 19, 14, 12, 17, 14, 13
Mode = 14 & 17
Example 3:
43, 21, 56, 87, 3, 5, 18
Mode = No mode
Example 4:
13, 54, 76, 54, 18, 13, 76, 18
Mode = No mode

@StudyMaths @taylorda01 Excellent as always.
Consolation exercise, though? "I'm sorry you're not very good at factors, multiples and primes. Here's some questions on it" 😅

📣Another #MathsConf38 workshop announcement! 🎼(Some of) the maths behind music harmony This one will be run by @DRoseMaths 🎶 What does music have to do with maths? Quite a lot, actually. From frequency ratios to harmonic patterns, this session reveals how mathematical structures underpin the sounds we find most pleasing. 🎷Whether you’re a music lover, maths enthusiast, or educator looking for creative cross-curricular links, this workshop offers a fresh perspective on both subjects. ✨Maths isn’t just logical – it can be beautiful too.

@amanda_spielman But is anyone really saying that it’s a stack of generic skills? Subject knowledge is very obviously essential but I don’t think subject knowledge vs teaching techniques is a trade off anyone has to make. They’re not fighting for the same space. @teacherhead
English
This is so important. However attractive it appears to treat teaching as a stack of generic skills, it is an approach that short-changes children.

@Gemma_clark14 Oh, these aren’t consultants, they are CONsultants.
English
Pathway 1:
Teach for a little bit
Set up as consultant/coach
Sell consultancy/coaching
Pathway 2:
Teach for as long as possible
Because its more lucrative and the working conditions can’t be rivalled
Pathway 2 has to become reality over pathway 1 or profession is cooked.

@MrJ_Maths I don't know whether it's specific to my context, but when students say this, they are really saying "I am struggling with this" or "I am bored of this". In which case the response from me is always "Come on, let's have a look".
English
“When am I ever going to use this?” I want to come up with better ways of explaining to students why we do what we do in Maths. Trying to be specific often gets the reply “I’m not going to do that” and I think being too general about skills is too vague… Thoughts, ideas…?
English
Great session @Mannermatics . I'm thinking lots about how I support problem solving. Today was pitched perfect and timely. Full of useful insights.

When you attend a maths conference but get to see speakers named Ben Sparks (@SparksMaths) and Tom Rainbow (@CoreMathsTom). Going to convince my friends it was actually an obscure Rock festival 👍

Was it worth covering then? Well I've empowered them to be able to check their payslips and utility bills, ensure they're not ripped off. I've also empowered them to approximate the angle needed when leaning a ladder against a wall. Possibly avoiding harm. Was it worth covering?
English
This year I have taught calculating a utility bill. We worked out tax and NI deductions for a job in their vocational area. Good engagement so worth while. Will they ever calculate their utility cost to the unit or their net pay in their lives? Probably not. It's done for them.
Graham Cumming@MathsNot
I never know why it’s always maths that gets the bad rap here. What about “do we need to learn Shakespeare? Wouldn’t it be more useful to learn how tax or budgeting works?” Because numbers, I suppose
English
So pleased to be running a workshop at #MathsConf35. First timer. Presenting a task design to support problem solving and highlighting some of the challenges of FE, of course.
