Want to see a subtle use of AI? Just started watching "Last Samurai Standing" on @netflix.com. Chose "English with English Subtitles". The mouth movements as the characters talk match the dub track. I checked by switching to the original Japanese. Not sure now if the voice track is AI as well...😧

This asbestos metaphor is brilliant.

It's been a few weeks since any updates, but here are some new resources from this week's teaching of solving equations: ✨Linear equations with fractional coefficients practice grid ✨Solving quadratics by factorising sort it out www.draustinmaths.com/algebra #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #MathsResources

I like that @aqaeducation.bsky.social have made resources like exampro free for centres, but PLEASE make a decision where to find other resources. No point promoting "new" All About Maths that *doesn't* yet have Summer 2025 papers on it. They are still hidden in Centre Services! #mathsteachers

Puzzle #21 The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle trisects the top left vertex of the square with side length 6 What is the area of the triangle? Solution 👇 blogenigmath.wordpress.com/2025/11/01/p... #enigmath #math #puzzle

If any kids go "6-7!" to you, respond with "That's Numberwang!"

Hmm. Not getting the same vibe from my effort this year.

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:

This is great, thank you.

... Which is fine if the AI gets the question correct.

I'm drafting a letter to all parents, I love this.

I like that - What's the poem?

#MathsToday I had to talk to students (again) about why trusting AI to do their homework is not a good idea. 2nd time I have caught it out in a week. #Maths teachers using online hwk platforms, what do you do about this?

This is a real image of what a new solar system looks like. The light from the central star is blocked, so it's possible to see the lanes of cleared-up dust around it. And that small, yellowish blob at lower right? That's a whole, brand new planet.

Someone in comments (and now I can't find the actual comment, sorry) said the best Star Wars trilogy is now Andor, Rogue One and Star Wars Ep 4, and you know what, I'm here for that argument, call it the "Death Star Trilogy"

Now reading. I have picked up all of these bar the last one in local charity shops this summer, looking forward to spending time in Tudor England... #BookSky #NowReading

Finished this last night. Very quirky crime novel, continuing the misadventures of Gary Thorne. Nothing quite like these, I could see these being turned into some sort of BBC2 comedy thriller. More interesting than reading yet another cosy crime book. #BookSky

8 books on kindle so far this year, another as a hard copy. The #Author not available " is "3 Men in a boat", which helped a bit with "To Say Nothing Of The Dog". #BookSky

Now reading. I loved the first one, as quirky as you'd expect. Hard not to read this and hear Bob Mortimer's voice in your head. #BookSky

Great read, like Pacific Rim meets Jurassic Park. #BookSky

Now reading. Love John Scalzi. For me this is the equivalent of a big blockbuster popcorn movie, but with a better script and effects. #BookSky

Despite its size, devoured this. The story of a family, or more the stories of the people in it. Heart-breaking, but paradoxically uplifting, would definitely recommend it. #BookSky

I’ve done a bit of work to my GCSE Maths YouTube videos playlist, now with 777 videos totalling 60+ hours. Unfortunately it’s still nowhere near done. If I manage to have both Number + Algebra done I’ll be happy. www.tlmaths.com/home/gcse-ma...

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.
