Watching previously successful and balanced countries transition to what appears to be more like a failed state, and then voting for something similar in your own country, does not seem to me to be a healthy habit.

I'm looking for a publisher. 240 pages of old-world trigonometry, geometry focused & algebra free – where it came from, who built it, how they built it, how they used it, and how to do trigonometry in this way today. Any suggestions gratefully received. #UKMathsChat #iTeachMath #MathSky

AI is reshaping how maths is applied beyond the classroom. This June: CPD options for A level Mathematics teachers — webinar, online, or blended. 👉 buff.ly/K9fphcB #MathsIntoAI #TeacherCPD

Does mixed ability teaching harm pupil progress? New research from the @ioe.bsky.social suggests that it does, particularly for higher attainers. My blog highlights some of the key findings, flaws, and real issues contained in the report. educatingmrmattock.blogspot.com/2026/05/does...

In July treat your Year 9s, 10s or 12s to an interactive Much Ado About Numbers show at: - Shakespeare North (nr Liverpool) - Alleyns Theatre (Dulwich). English teacher: “I’ve never seen so many Year 9 students engaged in Shakespeare AND Maths". Details here: mathsinspiration.com/much-ado-sum...

Issue 23 of @chalkdustmag.bsky.social comes out on Monday. I did the maths for what's on the cover and I'm very excited about it being released. Without the back cover, it's not obvious what the pieces on the front are for. Any guesses?

Years ago I helped @meimaths.bsky.social & Integral resources make a series of demo videos for working with data in Excel & @geogebra.org. (Initially for working with the Large Data Set - LDS). Still relevant for our data-driven world! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

It's a classic and simple 2 player game. I don't know what other people call it, but I called it the 15 game (not the 15 puzzle, that's something else). youtu.be/UafhPUOCM1E?...

Specialise, Conjecture and Generalise. A three-step plan to encourage and develop mathematical thinking. I'm going to use this thread to share a few of my favourite tasks that lend itself nicely to this idea. It would be amazing if everyone added their own in the replies.

Lots of interesting stuff at the MathsSci-Comm network event today in Cambridge. For example @jburnmurdoch.ft.com was helpful and insightful on how they learned useful lessons about presenting data visualisations.

From September 2026, The MAT will no longer take place. The University of Oxford will use the TMUA. More info:

Oxford is switching from MAT to TMUA for Maths, Computer Science, and joint honours, as part of a wider move to UAT-UK tests. See www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/tmua for info and resources. As you can imagine, our website says MAT in lots of places, please bear with us as we change them all to TMUA! ^James

I have a colleague who has been doing this course and always comes in the day after a session raving about all the good ideas. So it’s definitely worth signing up for if you can! #ALevelMaths

Bookings for the spring cohort of The Maths of Data Science and AI course for #ALevelMaths teachers will close soon. Book now at amsp.org.uk/event/b23514... for 5 online sessions and a study day ... and there's a £350 bursary to help with travel/cover costs for the study day!

Are you a maths teacher, or do you/someone you know run activities with young people? Me and @AlisonKiddle.bsky.social produce resources (printables, slides & session leader notes) for short self-contained fun maths activities! For only £2.50 you too can have a fun thing to do: 15minutemaths.com

Want a 2.5 minute primer on the ingenuity of randomised controlled trials? Of course you do.

Bored over the festive season? We're still seeking contributions to our ridiculous saytheprime.com video project: sign up and make a 5-minute video of yourself saying a chunk of digits of the largest known prime number. Can we finish before they discover a bigger one? It's a race against maths!

It's done! And ahead of schedule... (for once!) A fully revised 2026 version of the Risps PDF eBook is now available for free, from www.risps.co.uk and from Payhip. payhip.com/b/RGKPF An early Ch-risp-mas present? With best wishes of the season, Jonny

I'm not feeling great at the moment, so I decided to spend some time doing something that would cheer me up: making a silly clock. https://christmas-clock.think.somethingorotherwhatever.com/index.html

Regarding this post from the beginning of the year (inspired by work from @n-gons.bsky.social) I realised I never shared the original file. Have a play here: www.geogebra.org/m/zez8muew

Ben Sparks made this wonderful GeoGebra app that lets you create a twisted band (Möbius strip, etc.) and cut it in half or into thirds. As someone who uses GeoGebra quite a bit: Wow! www.geogebra.org/m/v5z33vth

Correction: Unemployment rate may or may not have risen (5.1%±0.3 compared to 4.8%±0.3). BBC please mention 'error bars' or 'confidence intervals' here. Alternative: UNEMPLOYMENT MAY HAVE DROPPED BY 0.3% PERCENTAGE POINTS Better: UNEMPLOYMENT LEVELS BROADLY SIMILAR TO LAST TIME WE CHECKED

I think it's time to post this again (since the thresholds have been frozen). www.geogebra.org/m/p97htgc3 [please note this for INCOME TAX only]
