Complete the square - positive and negative coefficients of x

@RichardHawley Looking forward to seeing you in Weston-Super-Mare. Just wondering who’s supporting you too…

Graph transformations for GCSE @desmos desmos.com/calculator/xvt…

I made a nice Graph Transformations @desmos.com thing for GCSE... desmos.com/calculator/j0k…

Which creature could squeeze under? Really enjoy sharing this question with students when looking at using circumference to calculate diameter and radius. Still find the result a little remarkable!

I’m not sure this has really taken into account the infinite side of things… “Monkeys will never type Shakespeare, study finds” bbc.com/news/articles/…

@TheMathsBazaar @123lots Because often students want to be able to get an answer as a decimal and having to press 4 buttons to do it can be somewhat cumbersome

Did you know you can change a fraction/surd to decimals on the new Casio WITHOUT using Format?!

@123lots It’s slightly less annoying than using the Format button…

@MrJ_Maths Yes, that’s the one. I don’t understand your point?

@MrJ_Maths Yes but… this calculates the answer again. So if your answer involves Ans, it will not work… Eg try writing 1, EXE then Ans /2 Then shift and EXE you’ll get 1/2, then 0.25….

Gutted to be missing @cmatbaby because of the cancelled Bay Series event in Cardiff :(

@EdGore23 Had read that threads was a bit clunky and that Bluesky was v similar functionality to X and run by old twitter creator. Keeping X until I’m confident it’s doing what I want it to do.

@EdGore23 I’m trying out Bluesky as an alternative to X. Seems good so far

Do love a fractal (Romanesco) broccoli

Nice symmetrical bridge engineering of the Prince of Wales bridge heading into Wales

@JellyMaths @CoreMathsTom Yes… I think it is often a form of defensive mechanism or to distract from having to try to do it

@CoreMathsTom @MrJ_Maths I know exactly what you mean! I often say I’ve never needed to recall the causes of the Abyssinia Crisis yet I still learnt that in GCSE History - and found it quite interesting too!

“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…?
