A brief history of The Mathematical Gazette: thirty years later @tandfresearch.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is wrong in just so many ways I can’t even count them. Maybe counting is hard because I’m trying to use that ruler!

Change in admissions procedure for Maths at Cambridge applications. From 2027 entry (so those currently in year 12), all Maths applicants are required to take TMUA. www.maths.cam.ac.uk/undergrad/ad... #Alevelmaths #UKmathschat #TMUA

Six squares and a quarter circle. The blue square has area 2. What’s the yellow area? #geometrypuzzle

I just bought a new toy - it's a fully working giant slide rule that was used for classroom demonstrations in the 1960s. This is what people used for doing tricky calculations, before electronic calculators took over in the late 1970s.

Good morning friends. We are getting an extra hour a fortnight with Year 8 from September. We want to use the time to enrich the curriculum. I'm looking for interesting problem solving activities, possibly taking us outside the classroom. Any ideas gratefully received! #MathsToday

Found out in #MathsToday that Cambridge have announced that they will now use both the TMUA *and* STEP for entry to the Mathematical Tripos from 2027 which follows Oxford’s decision to swap MAT for TMUA last month. #ALevelMaths teachers take note, source here: www.christs.cam.ac.uk/study-here/u...

Just over half of all A level students in England (41% boys, 59% girls) took no maths or science subjects at A level in 2025

Mathematicians study fluids, such as water coming out of a hose, using equations that they suspect harbor hidden glitches. Last year, researchers trained AI models to find scenarios where various kinds of equations might “blow up.” Tune in to The Quanta Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

In genuine disbelief at the incredible work of Dr Zye and the continuation of his quest to draw all 197 flags in Powerpoint. What started as an entry to the Tom Rocks Maths Essay Competition has become a worldwide community of maths enthusiasts. This is why I do maths. SO much love to you all <3

A student of mine has been investigating the history of the journal I'm now editing. She reviewed a previous history published in 1996, and covered the intervening period by interviewing the last two editors and the production editor. The resulting paper is now published online.

A recent breakthrough a century in the making is helping mathematicians model systems that change in space but not in time — like the temperature of a lava flow at equilibrium, the distribution of nutrients in tissues, or the shape of a soap film. www.quantamagazine.org/long-sought-...

The Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2026 results have been released. Well done to all the students who took part. #IMC #MathsToday

talking to #alevelmaths teaching colleagues across the region we think there has been a drop off in Ss asking for help from teachers, suspect they turn to AI instead

In #mathstoday (yesterday really, but forgot to post) year 12 did this simultaneous equations loop from the maths association. Great levels of challenge and discussion.

A friend of mine has just launched this website that I think is pretty great for generating quick starters for A-Level maths and he has started adding some questions for Further Maths too. mrhardymaths.co.uk #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

#mathstoday It's really interesting how covering up one part of the question suddenly causes the student to figure out what it is asking. Covered up the bearing lines and asked again and suddenly 'oh Pythagoras '

In 1965, the mathematician Sarvadaman Chowla wanted to know how small an extremely simple type of Fourier transform — a sum of cosine waves — could get. His problem sounded straightforward. But somehow, it wasn’t. www.quantamagazine.org/networks-hol...

Maths teachers- can I ask how much curriculum time per week do your Y10 and Y11 classes get? Thank you!

I would love it if the next iterations of the #ALevelMaths specifications ditched the awful notation of writing fg(x) for f(g(x))

Even with a background in mathematics, it still surprises me just how how often π (pi) shows up in expressions for integrals, infinite sums, probabilities--the list is long. Here is another famous way of estimating π (pi) experimentally, by dropping sticks, knows as "Buffon's Needle" problem.

Thank you to Dr Cath Gripton for insight into the #ObservatoryforMathematicalEducation 2025 RoME report this morning ☕ I’m keen to see how the work evolves and what it tells us about FE and adult learning. Thank you @amiemathematics.bsky.social for facilitating ⭐#FEMaths @ruthtrundley.bsky.social
