@saniyafatma1278 Beautiful. My wedding dress was bought also in a sale. Still love it immensely x

Found my wedding dress for $15.50 at Goodwill. Thought this group would appreciate this move! Cannot contain my excitement. Also cannot wait to tell people and then correct them when they assume I mean $1,150. Truly the find of a lifetime.

@criminographer And in that moment of time she was here. X

Here we were on Palm Beach, NSW on this day in 2023. You were such an angel in Australia. I knew we were going to go on so many adventures together. You helped me look forward again. To not feel afraid to make plans. To find the daily joy. You should be here 💔 #grief #childloss

@criminographer Beautiful pictures. Your children held in your heart always. We lost our 18yo 4 years ago. Each timeline brings fresh, unbidden, challenge. Praying we are both granted the strength to carry this weight and some moments of peace along the way. Their time here was not enough.

New year days with my loves who're no longer here. It's both so hard to reflect back and to look forward with any positivity, as I'm always waiting for the next terrible thing. So in honour of you both I'm booking another trip to 🇦🇺. Finding joy whenever I can 💙❤️ #NewYear2026

@mathsjem Love this post! But beware if ‘pasting’ data into a filtered spreadsheet in this way online. It pastes into the ‘unseen’ cells and replaces someone else’s data. Drove my dept nuts! Love to hear a hack for this!

@howie_hua @MuddySister Frustum 😂

@MuddySister The first three are actual mathematician names though. The point is that we don't make beautiful sounding math terms.

Baby names for music lovers: Melody Harmony Aria Reed Cadence Baby names for math lovers: Hexagonal Prism Intermediate Value Theorem Axis of Rotation Scalene Triangle Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

@ICT_MrP Of course. Children first. Well being of staff number one priority.

Should teachers and school staff be able to go and watch their own child’s nativty play or Christmas performance?

@howie_hua Is working out needed?

Make a math teacher cry in 4 words.

@howie_hua What time is it?

@hurricaneteach @TeachLeadAAli But the volume of work we generate has increased, the the output volume increases. Just because you ‘queue’ it for a few hours down the line does not decrease the volume. The volume has increased be wise we are working too many hours. At whatever time of the day / evening

@TeachLeadAAli I think this is many staff. If I’m emailing after about 9.30/10 I schedule it for a reasonable hour in the morning. Can’t cope with the sheer volume of emails if I don’t keep on top of them. (Absolutely NOT a head!)

Yesterday I replied to an email inquiry from a HeadTeacher! at around 9:30 pm and I got a reply at 9:31 pm sent from the HeadTeacher‘s phone. I replied back saying that was a quick response. Thank you so much and they said they were still working. now I know lots of people work late but I just think the situation with Head Teacher’s is so tough right now probably more than it has been ever.

@TeachLeadAAli Please be mindful. We are ALL working so hard. If HT, SLT and others work reasonable hours the amount of work being asked of others is reasonable too. Working to 9.30pm to ‘queue’ emails to send at 8am is unreasonable and unsustainable. We need to rethink to prevent burn out.

@MathsNot How about making functions skills maths more available (and acceptable to have) for those struggling to obtain a grade “4” and having to resit until their 18 (many still not “passing”…)

Usual questions: what exactly comprises financial education, teach it instead of what, and which subject teachers will be expected to cover it? (I fear I know the answer to the third one)

@4myJessBrady GCSE 2025

The thing about being diagnosed with terminal #cancer and being told you only have weeks left to live is that you are left with the unimaginable pain of having conversations you never planned for or ever conceived. This happened to my Jess, at 27. 🧵1/5

@ALevelScandal @mathsjem Is this source validated?

@ellielexx Sitting with you today x

For you, Billy ❤️‍🩹 #NationalBereavedParentsDay

@NiallHarbison Please keep posting. We need to hear your thoughts. This helps so many. Truly. X

I’m very lucky I’ve been through this many times. I know the fixes and what not to do. It’ll pass as it always does. I wrote this to hopefully help others. It’s taken me 25 years to figure much of this out. The more it’s talked about the better ❤️ (12/12)

I’ve suffered my whole life from depression and anxiety. I have both really bad today. I thought I’d try explain my typical symptoms so other sufferers or their friends and family can understand it better. This is what depression feels like… (1/12)

@ellielexx So sorry for the loss of your boy as one grieving mum to another. My son was 18, different circumstances entirely. The time here is not nearly enough. Treasure each ‘thing’’, knowing that he was here and was very loved. Sitting with you as you sort through the ripples of life. X

all the other things you made, painted, and drew in those four short years. I found a dusty supermarket bag full of chocolate left over from Christmas. There was a gingerbread box, sent with love from Uncle Jason and Auntie Abi.

Dearest Billy, I made a start cleaning out the garage on Saturday afternoon. There’s still so much from the move that’s still in random boxes. We moved house seven months before you died, and hadn’t had the chance to properly unpack before your diagnosis. 🧵

@JimPGrady @tombennett71 I’d want someone to know enough so EVERY student learns SOMETHING every lesson, not the other way round. EVERY student deserves the best we can give them.

@tombennett71 Supply teacher NW Eng Sec. Schools KS3&4. Specialism is Computing...but I can (and do) help students learn in Science (all varities) En, Ma, Geography, History, French (KS3). Wouldn't say I have indepth knowledge but I know enough to help some students learn every lesson.

@mathsjem Love the new revision resources. Thank you for sharing.

I made a couple of new revision resources (one for GCSE, two for A level) that maths teachers might find useful. Quick blog post about them here: resourceaholic.com/2025/04/new-re… #mathsgems #mathschat #teammaths #mathstlp #mathscpdchat

@mathsjem @Popcorn3878 We all recruit like this in education. Other graduate jobs rarely require a practical element & staff/pupil panel & immediate yes/no response. Not discounting essential elements, just an observation. I was recruited to a blue chip graduate job after 30 min i/v & aptitude test.

@BacktwoBackfour @Popcorn3878 I don't think it's brutal. It's incredibly short compared to other graduate jobs. We do a tour, interview, lesson and a maths test (vital, because many candidates can't do very basic maths). It's over in half a day. I don't get what's brutal about it...?

New post! If you're currently going through the process of applying for maths teacher jobs, I've shared some advice about the recruitment process. I hope it helps! resourceaholic.com/2025/03/securi… #mathsgems #teammaths #mathschat #mathscpdchat #mathstlp
