@DavidKButlerUoA All of them?

I wonder how many maths lecturers have ever in their life seriously doubted that they could figure out a maths problem.

@stats_feed Is science influenced by what you feel would be a better question. I'd genuinely be interested in the answers.

Is global warming real?

As an introvert… I feel this! Both as a teacher and as a presenter.

@greg_ashman Every day BlueSky is great

When was the last time you logged into one of the alternatives to Twitter/X?

NYT: “While many in France cheered what appeared to be a loss for the far right, others were fearful of what the far left might bring.” The terrifying stuff the left wants to bring:

Which TV show has the best theme tune?

Great questions year 10 came up with today about this graph after a bit of time to think and then a cold call #mathematics #NZ #UsingGraphs

@draustinmaths These look great. Thanks for always sharing such great resources

Some new resources for Year 7, 8 and 10 lessons this week and next. I made the Give an Example resource on volume and surface area for my Year 8s and they enjoyed it so much I've made a similar task for Year 10 Straight Lines. Feedback welcome! draustinmaths.com #mathschat

Fantastic quote from @C_Hendrick on @MrZachG ‘s recent podcast. Foundational, teacher guided instruction is an equity lever. Lessons that lack that foundational guidance disadvantage learners, creating or widening equity gaps.

Hello whiteboard using maths teachers of the world. We bought show-me boards and pens this year, but they smudge a lot when students rub out their work. Our inherited whiteboard desks do the same. Help? Advice? #maths #miniwhiteboards

Of course I had to comment on this lovely doodle by Ruby on her number assessment cover page this week. Seriously, who doesn't love maths? #mathematics #love #NewZealand #Year10

As we come to the end of term 1, here are the top 5 positions by year group for GHS mathematicians (ranked by mastery points earned) in @DrFrostMaths Ka pai guys! #mathematics #mastery #newzealand #drfrost

@cushlat @draustinmaths .@draustinmaths is great

Two new Level 2 Algebra vids: harder factorising with mixed x and y terms. Thanks to @draustinmaths for letting me video her lovely maths tasks - loads of great material that goes from y9 to y12. tinyurl.com/mwdmpb2x #mathschatnz

Have to say Level 2 maths ākonga were really buzzing with excitement and enjoyment during and immediately after their intro to calculus lesson today. One student said to her friend from another class as she left, "We just learned about calculus and it's so exciting" #maths #joy

I feel these are three things every teacher and school leader should know: 1. We are more similar than dissimilar in how we learn. 2. This has major implications for designing curriculum, instruction and assessment. 3. Expecting teachers to differentiate their teaching for 30 different kids who all 'learn differently' is one reason the job has been completely unsustainable for so many. (Quote from Stanislas Dehaene's book 'How We Learn')

Why do students forget so much of what they learn? Endless exercises, examples & definitions aren't enough. What’s missing? Reasoning. In this article, I share 5 strategies for improving student reasoning- loom.ly/39aixlg
