In August we performed at Warwick Arts Centre as part of Talking Maths in Public, described by one reviewer as "a beautiful piece of maths communication". We had a blast, and we've packaged up a few of the songs into a playlist for your listening pleasure. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Don't forget we have a shop selling Big MathsJam merch - from t-shirts to tea-towels, buy something with MathsJam on it to show your appreciation for recreational maths.

New maths resources alert! We now have a cellular automata activity on 15minutemaths.com, made by the lovely @alisonkiddle.bsky.social - grab yourself some printables, slides and session leader notes to run an interesting and mindful maths activity!

Does anybody have any ideas where a 15-year-old could do work experience in music tech or a related area? He plays guitar, bass and drums and is also interested in production. Preferably east Kent, though may be able to travel. The school work experience week is 6-10 July 2026. Thank you!

Really looking forward to speaking and singing at the Maths Week England launch and being part of such a great line up of speakers mathsweekengland.co.uk?p=10473

The @ima-maths.bsky.social seems quite proud they invited BAE to speak at their conference. I am so so disappointed that an institution which normally funds sweet creative maths projects and supports maths communities has chosen to platform BAE Systems which produces munitions used in genocide.

I am so delighted to invite you to this event, hosted by the British Educational Research Association, in December: www.bera.ac.uk/event/arts-b... where I and Joe will be talking about writing songs about research! ✍️🎵

I'm looking forward to Inside Maths again! Maths enrichment day, 9 Feb 2026, for year 5 and their teachers, at the Ri, London. Featuring @robeastaway.bsky.social and Fran Watson, hands-on activity and puzzles. Feedback from last year: insidemaths.co.uk/feedback Book here: insidemaths.co.uk/booking

I'm horrifically late posting about this, but the playlist for the August/September Animation Generation Collaboration is now up! The prompt was to create an animation of a Hilbert curve, and there are some lovely ones! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Q: What do you get if you cross a mood ring with a pronoun pin? A: My latest design at canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4376... Please share!

On the Saturday evening at MathsJam, we gather around the metaphorical campfire with instruments and voices to sing songs that have been reimagined with mathematical lyrics. Find out more, and how to submit lyrics, at mathsjam.com/gatheri...

Want a cool Nature, #SciArt, or Dropout Pride pin that helps a trans small business? My designs are available at canopyrobin.etsy.com and ship worldwide* *currently not to the US or Israel

Join me in 15 minutes in a livestream and watch me struggle to code an animation about the Hilbert curve! #MathsAnimationTMiP

I built a Hilbert curve out of matchsticks for #MathsAnimationTMiP! youtu.be/_ayaath5-50?...

Check out Kit wearing a Pseudorandom Ensemble T-shirt! You too could buy one, from pseudorandom-ensemble.teemill.com

Here’s a zoomed in version in case you wanted to better see the band names.

My Mathstonbury T-shirt arrived from my friends in The Pseudo Random Ensemble ‘one of the UK’s top ten mathematically-inspired musical combos’! How many bands to you recognise? Extra points for the maths connection. pseudorandom-ensembl...

This month's #MathsAnimationTMiP deadline is 15th September - if you can make a video showing how to create an animation of a Hilbert curve being drawn, submit it for our playlist and share your approach! Info and submission link at tmip.uk/animation

I reviewed the @prensemble.bsky.social gig at #TMiP25 for the Aperiodical: aperiodical.com/2025/09/revi... #music #maths #MathsToday

Announcing our infographic competition, Graph Craft! Thanks to a grant from #MathsWeekScot @mathsweek.scot we are delighted to launch our infographic competition for students aged 11-16 in #Scotland. Students can win a variety of book bundles - closes on 10th October. Submit here: bit.ly/4n9Aczn

This show was so much fun! Hard to believe it was only 2 years ago that I did a lightning talk at @tmip.bsky.social entitled 'Do you wanna be in a band with me?' Now I have a wonderful community of people who love making maths music (most not pictured here). More to come soon, online and in person.

I didn't learn my lesson. Today's lunch featured cinnamon-flavoured hummus. Not what I was aiming for, but it was actually quite nice.

The MathsJam Gathering 2025 is now open for booking! We'll be at a new venue - Kents Hill Park, in Milton Keynes - on 22-23 November 2025. Tickets and more info at mathsjam.com/gatheri...

The prompt for this month's #MathsAnimationTMiP is "create an animation showing a Hilbert Curve filling a square". Can you do it? What software would you use? It can be as high- or low-tech as you like! Join in and submit at tmip.uk/animation

Join me later for another #MathsAnimationTMiP live stream, where we will shove a poor Pikachu across the screen!

My video for #MathsAnimationTMiP July: Create an animation showing that a reflection followed by another reflection is equivalent to a rotation. youtu.be/wFdlrn-kzsg Find out more and join in at www.talkingmathsinpublic.uk/animation/

CALLING ALL CROCHET GEEKS AND GRANNIES Do you want to crochet something that ends up in a mathematical art exhibit in Paris* next summer? Join the project at www.grannylifecrochet.com * We will find out in September if the project makes it into the Paris exhibit

This sounds wonderful!

The compilation video for June's @tmip.bsky.social Animation Generation Collaboration Compilation is live! There were some lovely entries this month, and some techniques and software that are new to the collaboration. Thank you to everyone who took part! youtu.be/kri1aDjsgbo?... #MathsAnimationTMiP

If you'll need somebody for a maths project after the summer holidays, I have good availability from September onwards for editorial services, writing and other creative mathematics.

Our TMiP event in August will be fully hybrid, with ways for remote attendees to join in with all the sessions. Our hybrid coordinator @samsighs.bsky.social will be on hand to make sure everything works, and that everyone is seen/heard! Remote tickets just £30: talkingmathsinpublic...

I am delighted to announce the #Cambridge #Creative #Research Conference will be on Sat 25th October, fully online and free, and you can now book tickets! lucyrycroftsmith.com/cambridge-cr...

Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a lion chases a penguin in space? Wonder no more, as I answer that question in this week's #MathsAnimationTMiP. Very much a #sillymaths video, but some very retro screensaver vibes. youtu.be/yKSjt0eGark #mathsky @tmip.bsky.social

Creating curves of pursuit in Scratch - including the classic line 'I want the frog to chase the crab, the crab to chase the cat and the cat to chase the frog'. #MathsAnimationTMiP youtu.be/0mlln4yjrRg

Just a week left to submit your entries to this month's #MathsAnimationTMiP Animation Generation Collaboration - make a video of yourself creating a mathematical animation, and see how other people made their own versions! Details on our website: tmip.uk/animation

Maths Week England 2025 is 15th - 23rd November! If you're a #maths teacher, sign up to access resources & find out about events! If you represent a museum, consider providing an event (just like so many do for @mathsweek.scot !) mathsweekengland.co.uk #MathsToDay 🏛️🎓

People in England and Wales, time to exercise your democratic rights - urgently. You might not know, but this week MP @stellacreasy.bsky.social has proposed a crucial new amendment which would guarantee that people not be criminalised/prosecuted for abortion(didn't know that they could? Read on..)

I'm going to calculate π on the Moon! And you can join in. Get your own Lunar Pi. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

For my son's 14th birthday he requested a chocolate cake, and as he loves guitar my daughter and I made a chocolate guitar cake. It got exactly the response I hoped for - 'I'm impressed by how accurate it is'.

Lazyweb! Supposing I wanted to post videos on peertube rather than the alternative -- mainly ones of me singing, often but not always about maths, what platform should I sign up to? (bridport.tv looks like it might be workable, but this is an "I don't know what I'm looking for" situation.)

Hi! In July I'm once again running a program for K-12 math teachers called "21st century mathematics". Its goal is to help teachers to connect math they teach with some math that has been discovered in the 21st century. Pass it along! Info+register: justinlanier.org/21st-century...

A reminder that I have some limited availability for commissions in June and July- if you would like a piece of original art (landscape, portrait or something else) please get in touch and I’ll see if I can accommodate you! #art #artist #commission

Here's my entry for this month's #MathsAnimationTMiP Animation Generation Collaboration - watch me use Keynote to make an animation of Pythagoras' Theorem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVcn...

Just sent my 500th invoice as a freelancer. Feels like a milestone!

I feel like I probably know a good number of people who'd have some great suggestions to add to @nerdydaytrips.bsky.social #MathsToday 🏛️🎓

Hello @tmip.bsky.social , here is my submission for the #MathsAnimationTMiP. This is how you prove #Pythagoras theorem, but for when you can't remember how to draw a right angle. #mathstalk #mathsky youtu.be/SnNwcFeR9A8
