This letter from Leicester secondary school Headteachers has been shared on Facebook. I can only hope it’s shared far and wide.

Nice POLYGONS interactive from VISNOS - lots of uses and possibilities for exploration visnos.com/demos/polygon-…

Over 5000 teachers downloaded the 2023 Puzzle, so I knew I had to make a 2024 version. This 2024 Puzzle is available in two different levels. Arrange the strips (horizontally and/or vertically) in the grid to form the digits in 2024. mathequalslove.net/2024-puzzle/ #mtbos #iteachmath

Thank you, Mary Earps… “Stay in education. Get some GCSEs. Get some A levels. Work really hard.” Yes!

Made a little dot-to-dot for my year 7 class who have worked through negatives and decimals this term. Here are more dot-to-dots that I have made: mathshko.com/2020/01/04/num…

Okay I made this yesterday and please tell me someone gets this lol You heard of elf on the shelf but have you heard of...

🎄It's time!!! 🔎The first windows on this year's @nrichmaths Advent calendars are ready to explore with your classes: 🎁Primary nrich.maths.org/advent-primary 🎁Secondary nrich.maths.org/advent-seconda… @FacultyMaths @CamEdFac @Cambridge_Uni

I really like these Mathspad questions. I’d anticipated Y8 would struggle with the unusual format, but they surprised me by racing through them.

A worksheet on Factors, designed using Pointon and Sangwin taxonomy. Answers on tes.

UPDATE: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." mathsbot.com/gcse/countdown If anyone's got any great motivational quotes they use with Y11, I'd like to add some more.

@harrisonmaths I have a girl who's target is a 5 but she can't draw a triangle. She can draw the first two lines but cannot join up the last two vertices to create a 3-sided shape. Her mum is a TA at the primary school and confirmed they cheat through SATs. My heart hurts for these students

I have a student that has no number sense. No idea what one more than 4 is yet achieved a score of 100 on their maths Ks2 sats. Thoughts?

You may, or may not, have noticed the 'GCSE Maths' tab on taylorda01.weebly.com. On there you'll find: - a list of the most common topics across the three main exam boards, - a link to the 'Maths Summer School', perfect for revision - 'one exam question per topic' booklets.

Number 1 way to get teachers to leave teaching... Offer new, inexperienced teachers an extra £30k over their first 5 years on lighter timetables and no responsibilities while existing teachers get nothing. A masterclass by Rishi and Gillian!!

@mcconvillemaths "Ten minutes later.....". You knew they said it in this voice. Ha!

got to laugh 😅 ... a student said they were stuck on question 2c so I suggested 'try drawing a picture to set the scene' to help them see the working needed... looks like it worked😁

To Celebrate the beginning of Black History Month and prepare for World Science Week, we wanted to share with you this great resource celebrating the work of Katherine Johnson. Her work in maths helped us get to the moon. Inspire your students! 👇 buff.ly/3ZwlZSv

#CoreMaths I made a booklet with average UK salary information (12 pages, so can be printed in A5 booklets on 3 sheets) - good for calculating income tax, national insurance and student loan repayments, where students can pick a job that interests them 🙂 wykecollege-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal…

One photo shows a single, solitary ancient sycamore tree destroyed in an act of eco vandalism that has rightly caused outrage. The other photo shows one of 108 ancient, native woodlands destroyed to make way for HS2. Can we get as angry about this too?

@mattmeir @MissC_1717 I feel like this is at least an hour of procrastination on how to organise and sort and decide what each folder should be called

@MissC_1717 Ah I'm not on TikTok, but rules are a game changer for emails - whichever service/platform you use.

The only reason I’m apprehensive about finally checking my work emails later this week is knowing how many ‘useful’ things I’ve emailed to myself over the summer 🙈😩😅
