In a letter in the new issue of Mathematics Today, which just arrived, I talk about the range of degrees offering maths and how in my experience it’s a great option for students with lower A level grades. AMSP videos are here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #ITeachMaths

Felt a bit misty eyed watching this live on the BBC last night - last time I watched it live on TV was 40 years ago. #TheWolvesAreRunning #Boxers

The large majority of teachers in England consider research evidence before making decisions - an incredible and positive development. This short piece by @hmadgwick.bsky.social explains why we need professional collaboration and teacher involvement in research design. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

This one stopped me in my tracks this morning. I absolutely love a painting with a show stopping sky. And the fact it’s of my beautiful North East is an added bonus ❤️

See if you can stop looking! It's hypnotic, in a good way... 👀

Autumn is my favourite season. 🍂 Just had an unexpectedly beautiful drive out to Peterlee through the autumn countryside so the oldest boy could race in his first cross country competition 🏃 and he wasn’t last. Result!

It's been a joy and privilege to work with hundreds of local and national leaders of maths education over the last 10 years as they have supported schools in England. There's more to do, but it's because we have so many committed professionals, that it becomes possible #MathsHubs #LLME #UKMathsChat

🎉 Maths Hubs are TEN! Have you been involved in the Maths Hubs Programme in the last ten years? How did it impact on you or your school? We’d love to know! 🤗 #UKMathsChat #Maths #EduSky #PrimaryMaths

I love this diagram which explains what a Maths Hubs Work Group is. Effective professional development used by Maths Hubs and @ncetm.bsky.social and led by local leaders of maths education (LLME). Are there many LLME on #EduBlueSky #EduSky yet? #UKMathsChat

Annoying words in maths thread. My contribution was 'multiplicative' (a wonderfully important concept, but an absolutely horrible word to say). Though I think I met my match in 'linearly independent'... What's your most hated maths word and why?! #UKMathsChat #Maths #EduSky #EduBlueSky

First NCETM newsletter of the new school year alert! 📢 Debbie Morgan explaining curriculum coherence and our new oracy webpage (a one-stop shop for oracy & mathematical talk) are both fascinating reads. Please like and share 👇 (We forgot to hashtag!🤦‍♀️) #UKMathsChat #PrimaryMaths #Maths #EduSky

These are absolutely gorgeous. 😍

Have just dragged the offspring to see the Turner exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle. Wow! Even they were roused out of their usual adolescent apathy. And we got to play ‘What do you think is in Isabella’s pot of basil?’💀🌱 Until 7 Sept. ⏱️🏃🏼‍♀️ #Newcastle #Art #Impressionism

#EduSky, is this a good time to ask #MathsTeachers from all Phases of education, if they have something to share/talk about through a Mathematical Association webinar or podcast? #CPD #Maths in the autumn term? Drop me a message if you do! 🙏

The ATM Virtual Conference this October looks super interesting 👇 #PrimaryMaths #EduSky

How kind of @missiebee.bsky.social ! I used Sophie's adapted resources when I was in Year 6, long before I'd heard of @ncetm.bsky.social or #MathsHubs and found them absolutely brilliant. If you teach #PrimaryMaths take a look 👇

What better way to mark my migration to #EduSky than with a nice, wholesome dog pic? 💆🏼‍♀️
