I think somehow it's going to take a lot more then that. But yes, that would be welcome.

Calling excel wizards: is there a way to make like a macro thingy that can combine certain data from two different spreadsheets. ie, I want to take a report I run each week (Sparx homework) and add a field from second spreadsheet (admission number) in order to make a mail merge CSV?

Really enjoyed my first tutoring session with @actiontutoring.org.uk this morning. Great way to start the day ☺️

spent last week thrashing out expanding brackets with a grid/area model last week with grade 1-3 yr 10s, felt like I was going nowhere fast and encountering lots of difficulties. This morning did reverse process to factorise with same model. Insane success rate. #mathstoday

This rings true for me and I didn’t realise it until after the fact. Once I was back in a school that took T&L seriously, I realised that at my 2nd school, my teaching had stagnated for 2 years.

🚨Small boat migrants getting “private health care” while the rest of us have to use the NHS?!🚨 That’s outrageous! Or is it? Might the reality be a little more mundane and a little less clickbait-worthy? Let’s take a 👀 1/17 🧵

Does anyone teach #coremaths OCR B? First year teaching this and finding it challenging, could really use some advice from someone who has taught it before.

Dr Oz: "You'll notice, President Trump, these are discounted from $242 to $10. I don't know what the math is on that. We can't even calculate it. It's too high to calculate."

What trips or visiting speakers do you have for #AlevelMaths?

We understand students going into year 13 may still be using the fx-CG50 this year... Don't worry, we have lots of resources to help. education.casio.co.uk/blog/helping...

This feels like a long shot but I remember reading a great blog / newsletter from Craig Barton about asking questions like “what’s 2x20?” when doing long examples. I think it would have been very roughly this time last year I saw it. Anyone got it? #MathsToday

at the maths challenge club i run we have just finished senior maths challenge prep. Next stop is ritangle, but is there anything right now that year 7s or 8s or 9s could be getting on with? #mathschat #maths #mathstoday #mathsteaching #mtbos

I don’t suppose anyone has a scheme of work for AQA Level 2 Further Maths they would be willing to share with me? #MathsToday

What a gorgeous lesson. Thanks for sharing

In #MathsToday I made 40 A Level teachers colour in representations of the binomial distribution. This is your regular reminder that if you teach #ALevelMaths you should definitely try to join your local Maths Hub’s A Level Pedagogy group. There is some brilliant stuff going on all over England.

Love this. “SLOP” as Jo Morgan calls it (shed loads of practice)

I know I’ve read stuff from @adamboxereducation.bsky.social on how to deal with shouting out but I can’t for the life of me find it now. Can anyone help? 🙏🏼

Love the phrase “authentic listening skills”. Think this is so often missed and really important. Often something students struggle with more than explaining their ideas.

#Mathstoday Year 8 have been doing this Improper Fraction and Mixed Fraction matching task today from MrWhy1089 on TES. Did this with 2 groups, first cut out everything, second only did diagrams and improper fractions to begin with. The second group ended up completing more overall.

Leaving a school I was visiting today and over-hearing one of our trainees on the phone excitedly telling someone about how her lesson had gone and the feedback she got and how great her mentor is ❤️

In #MathsToday I’ve made the most of the interactive packages on Integral combined with the section tests to set cover work while I’m off 🤧 It is really great that #CoreMaths students can get free accounts for the core maths platform on Integral through AMSP.

Ohh lovely way to introduce rounding to one significant figure to estimate 😍

Yup. The rate limiting step in almost every context I've seen is attention. And you need a teacher to direct this. Almost every tech model starts from the wrong point because it assumes children will want to study the material and won't need their attention managed.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

"If we want to understand why this pipeline leaks, we need to look at the experience of moving to secondary school. For too many disadvantaged pupils, this marks a decline in engagement and enjoyment from which they never recover." www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Feel like we should bring back the old twitter follow friday to boost good people on here who maybe didn't get an initial boost from the starter packs. So follow @psurridge.bsky.social and @profjanegreen.bsky.social - two excellent and thoughtful political scientists.

Anyone here using anything good that schedules posts on Bluesky for free? Trying to use “Bluesky Scheduler” but just getting error messages 🤷🏻‍♀️

#MathsToday Teaching histograms to year 11 this week and returned to @drrowlandson.bsky.social’s amazing planning series to start. So much deep thought and insight in every post! 🙌 ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2020/06/05/f...

A few years ago I turned a bunch of UKMT Senior Maths Challenge papers into self-marking MS Forms (5 questions per form) to set as optional quizzes for students, as a weekly bit of fun. To set them for your students, you need to be signed into Office 365. Click on the link to the quiz, then...

In #ALevelMaths #MathsToday I tried to persuade pupils that we should think of Newton's Second Law as a=F/m (forces give rise to accelerations) rather than F=ma.

A Sikh woman was raped in broad daylight this weekend by white men shouting racist abuse. Racism and misogyny go hand in glove. The mainstreaming of anti-migrant politics and racist rhetoric have created a situation where violence against women is more likely, not less.

🚨 New OECD data: England has one of the worst teacher retention rates in the developed world. ❌ Nearly 1 in 10 teachers quit last year – over 3x the rate in France and Ireland. ❌ Over 90% left before retirement, the highest early-exit rate recorded.

In #MathsToday, Year 12 and I enjoyed doing some Susan Wall tasks. I particularly enjoyed this one. We matched the graphs up, and then found the coordinates of all the interesting points.

Spent a slightly painful 15 minutes discussing Q2 with Y12 today. The problem wasn’t with spotting the patterns, but trying to formulate that into full sentences. If you teach #ALevelMaths, I’d be interested to know how your students get on with similar “describe and explain” tasks. #MathsToday

Lovely task for #ALevelMaths 😍
