HMM

Excited to be part of this the next few days! globalmathsummit.com

I'm not normally a words puzzle fan, but enjoyed the 'before and after' from @mscroggs new puzzle bug, go check it out (don't worry, has number puzzles too)

Omg, Fibonacci!!!

Mastodon or bluesky? More than happy to join the crowd if enough people leave. Been great to have a maths bubble here, but the ownership has been off for some time, so always looking for a good replacement

Interesting to read about @mrbartonmaths using AI to generate multiple choice maths questions. Our school did a little on this at inset and I was quite frustrated with a lot of the results, so glad to see it's not just me!

@JeromeFoley9 @mathsjem True! I also love hanging out in the stem library, so many cool books :)

Love old maths/puzzle books so cool to find out about @mathsjem using mathpix! I'd never heard of it, and the main reason I underuse these older resources is the lack of digitalisation, game changer :)

Once I year I do different work which helps explain my handle W:O:A 🤘🤘🤘

Enjoying a day of @Advanced_Maths problem solving 😁

Must be nearly end of term 😁

It's started! 😁🤘 aperiodical.com/2024/07/the-bi…

Happy Perfect Number Day! Learn more about these fascinating numbers and the oldest unsolved problem in mathematics at math.fit/perfect-numbers

This has always been fantastic in previous years, excited to see how this year goes,will there be a sticker album again? 😁 aperiodical.com

@MEIMaths @spacegovuk How many hours of material would we need to pilot? Sounds amazing, but I worry my HoD won't want me spending ages on it :(

We have been awarded funding by the @spacegovuk to create The Big Earth Data Project We are looking for teachers to be part of our pilot to test our resources and provide feedback before they go live for everyone in September! To take part click here 👉 ow.ly/EKRo50SkCWW

@Ridermeister I wouldn't be surprised. Just lazy/money pinching.

@Ridermeister We were quite shocked with just how similar they were tbh. As if they'd asked AI to come up with a similar exam or something.

@CNMMathsJam Got plenty more like it from some old puzzle books I'm flicking through. Maybe I'll collate some best ones and send to @stecks for people to jam with :)

@heavymetalmaths Nice. One of our jammers has done it.

A farmer has a field in the shape of a regular hexagon, with a side length of 40m. A horse is tied to a rope at one corner of the field. The rope is 50m long. What percentage of the field can the horse roam in? A silly story, but I like the mathematical problem solving required!

@Mathgarden I was reminded of the numberlab image in this post during yesterday's discussions @j_lanier

@cluzniak I was reading this in an ancient puzzle book recently. Not sure if this one or one near it in the book, but the belief was it was an adoption of an old Roman puzzle. I'm sure all the classics go back way further than we always think. Such great puzzles :)

Reading a book about the history of riddles, and came across this one by mathematician! (Tartaglia): "A man dies, leaving 17 camels to be divided among his heirs, in the proportions 1/2, 1/3 and 1/9. How can this be done?"
