@TeacherBusy @SnagTights are the best tights in the world. I have them in almost every colour!

Female teachers hit me up with your best tights recommendations! I usually wear M&S but they seem different this winter 🤷🏼‍♀️ They need to sit under the boob area and not roll down throughout the day. Help a girl out!

@stageben Are you sponsored by @neilhurst ?

Just had an awesome cuppa tea. Nothing else to say. #yorkshiretea #DontGiveMeThatPgTipsShit

Genius.

@carohami @WhiteRoseMaths I think it sums up 2020!

It's day 5 of #Barvember 🤗 Can you work out the cost of the pair of gloves? ow.ly/MjSl50CclqS

@MrLuckhurstY5 @TTSSchoolDirect @WhiteRoseMaths However, I also like B for the idea of exchanging one whole for five fifths. Makes a nice link to the way we exchange when we are subtracting using column method.

@MrLuckhurstY5 @TTSSchoolDirect @WhiteRoseMaths I think A is interesting because until you convert to improper fractions I don’t think it’s obvious that one mixed number is double of the other! C definitely requires a number line to explain the constant difference ☺️

Loved delivering a full day of fractions to @TTSSchoolDirect primary trainees today. Lots of brilliant discussions including looking at multiple methods to subtract mixed numbers. Which method would you use, or have you got a different one? @WhiteRoseMaths

Look out for @TeachPrimary 14.8 arriving in the next couple of weeks. Thanks to all my fantastic writers this issue: @dr_tom_hunt @stevechinnUK @FakeHeadteacher @HayleyJanePeace @vineet_uk @AmieAmieTay @Beth_89 @stephcaswell_ @mrbeeteach @Zendibble @TeamTait @MikeFullard 1/2

@henitus Oh my god, amazing! This is definitely a post lockdown celebration meal. We’ll love it and it will outrage others!

@Beth_89 LOOK AT IT

Read here about why Nigella is fantastic, Halloween is dreadful and Unicorn Angel Delight not worth the bother. Might see you next year, don't count on it though paharvey99.tumblr.com/post/633575520…

Following the Prime Minister's statement at 7pm tonight, West Yorkshire will not be entering Tier 3 restrictions on Monday 2 November. The region will follow the national restrictions on Thursday. A statement from Leaders will follow.

@MathsteryByMrJ @MrMattock I love the use of language. It’s amazing what a conversation on twitter can lead to! Thanks for this ☺️

Following the excellent discussion with @MrMattock and @Beth_89 here is how I now model short division visually. The main difference being the language used in the stem sentences which is magpied from Visible Maths 📖

Short division fluency practice using place value counters #year6 #maths

@henitus Perfect Saturday morning read. I was getting concerned with the lack of update over the past 2 days. I watched the entire of Emily in Paris over two days and completely loved it.

Three days to catch up on, with endless plumbing chat, aren't you the lucky ones paharvey99.tumblr.com/post/631539921…

@MrMattock @MathsteryByMrJ Which then clearly does show how sharing can link to this so effectively. Amazing! Love unpicking ideas. Always learning!

@Beth_89 @MathsteryByMrJ The issue with that then is the quotient doesnt take a place value "How many 300s can be made from 600?" The answer is 2, but the 2 in the short division algorithm has a value of 200, whereas the dividend should keep a value of 3. If you were to say "How many 3s make 600" it...

@CjHatchman @WhiteRoseMaths So glad you enjoyed it!

Another great @WhiteRoseMaths webinar on Year 3 ‘addition and subtraction’. A big fan of the ‘always, sometimes and never’ and ‘what’s the same/different?’ questions which allow children to think deeper and investigate numbers by finding various solutions #primarymaths

@MrMattock @MathsteryByMrJ Really interesting! Massive shift in language but makes complete sense. I discuss the fact we are always making groups of 3 but depending on the column depends on the value. Did this due to link to ‘How many 3s in.....’ which is common language used.

@Beth_89 @MathsteryByMrJ ...sharing 600 into 3 shares". This allows the quotient to take its proper place value - there are two hundreds in each share.

@Jeniharvey Shoe chat was the moment I switched off
