And 4) generate your own data to model real-world data-generating processes. www.paddymacmahon.com/conferences/... I'd also put @desmos.com in the mix for point 3.

If you've never used CODAP before and would like some activities to try (with instructions) we've got some in the @meimaths.bsky.social 'Exploring Data with Technology' resources: mei.org.uk/resource/b5a...

What does this mean in the classroom? Why not try making some of these changes: 1) Use real or realistic data and data relevant to students 2) Spend less time in lessons calculating and graph drawing and more time analysing and discussing 3) Use software such as CODAP codap.concord.org

Did someone say new ClassWiz CG resources? www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

My favourite trick with an OHP was to start writing in mirror writting and then, a couple of sentences in say "oops - I put the sheet on upside down" and flip it over.

I spent yesterday evening going down a rabbit-hole of Black Sabbath covers. Here's my playlist of some of the more interesting ones: open.spotify.com/playlist/65r... Any other suggestions?

Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score). “Statistically it’s risky for the goal keeper to stand still… so yeah, I love maths”.

We did a series of webinars on 'Teaching with Desmos' that did a deep dive into 6 curriculum areas last year. The recordings (with timestamps and resources) are at amsp.org.uk/teachers/tea... I think these could form the basis for in-house PD if you got colleagues to watch a clip then discuss it.

We still have the 6 lesson Introduction to Data Science self-study course available through @meimaths.bsky.social too: mei.org.uk/introduction... This can be taken by students independently or delivered by teachers (the further support section has presentations and teacher guidance).
