@arithmancyprof Thanks for confirming. This service will be starting from Preston (not Edinburgh) due to a fault with the signalling system earlier today, but it is still scheduled to run from Wigan to Warrington at 19:31 - Sam

@CasioMaths , we've bought classwiz calculators for the department. What happened to the big display calculator you used to be able to get to put on the classroom wall? Not able to find it anywhere on the website 😞 .

Want to create lesson slides exactly how you want in under 2 minutes? It is possible! After a 2 hour setup, my code automates EDI formatted slides with no more copying, pasting, or manually creating text boxes. Happy to share the code!

@LaSalleEd Oh cool, this is the one I'm staying at. I have a MAT conference on Friday and I'm going to have a few drinks in London before heading to Sheffield. So I'll be very late to #mathsconf36 drinks - I'll arrive some time between 9.30pm and 10pm. But I will be there!

I was so excited about my first-ever #MathsConf35 experience that I signed up to present my own workshop. I can't wait to share how I've used mathswhiteboard.com this year to motivate my low-ability students. I'm also looking forward to networking with so many amazing people, thanks to @LaSalleEd.

@HawesMaths Always a function machine. Love them. They're also amazing to use for rearranging formulae.

@MathsSecondary One of my students told me today and said that she worked out her score after watching the video. Kind of takes away from results day, doesn't it?

Heard from students today that there are already worked solutions to paper 1 from Thursday on tiktok, am I old and ignorant to be somewhat surprised and quite outraged by that?

@adamboxer1 Or, if you don't want to exclude, why not just build in a silent reflection time? Mumslin students can use it to pray, other students can use it to reflect, meditate etc? Wouldn't that be of benefit to mental health? I don't get why this can't be an option?

This does not sit well with me at all. I don't understand why you can't just have a prayer room? >

@runningstitch I teach it using a proportion table. It promotes a better understanding of the relationship between distance and time. Students quickly understand that they need to find the distance travelled in 1 time unit and work from there. Also stops nonsense like 50 mins is 0.5hr.
