This came up in the staff meeting today: how the ordinary English meaning of the word “independent” does not describe at all how a Venn diagram looks, and what to do to fix that.

Striking to see watch Queen Elizabeth's 1991 address to Congress today. She spoke about "the spirit of democracy", the Soviet Union, the EC, NATO, "continental insularity", and the "maintenance of international order".

Results with the Unit Circle that are useful at A-level
This is a subject knowledge post. Here are items that appear in the higher GCSE/A-level that could be justified with the unit circle. Assumed knowledge here is how to find values for sin, cos and tan on a unit circle, GCSE trig knowledge and basic angle rules. For tan with a unit circle we could use gradient of the ray, or when the ray passes through x=1.

I previously blogged about why I like getting students to compare how tricky they might find two similar-looking Qs (
bossmaths.com/which-is-eas...
) Here's a new pair that I hope might generate an "aha" moment for students.

I like mentioning
#etymology
links between key words from across the curriculum e.g. "vector" and "convection". Here's a topical one for today👇 (I personally don't present slides like this in class; I tend to prefer them as corridor display material.)

Had a great discussion in our department CPD about the link between student oracy, mathematical communication and understanding. How do you ensure students know which expression you mean when you are explaining? How do you explicitly teach them to talk about their maths?

Ages ago I used this (non-calc) Q with my KS3 & KS4 groups. None saw the answer immediately; they all tried finding Alice’s and Bob’s numbers en route to answering the Q. Used it again with selective school-bound primary Ss. Surprised none saw the answer straight away either

Given that 45 is the ninth triangular number, this must mean that 2025 = 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ Unless someone does a Futurama, none of us will be around for the sum of the first ten cubes.

I'm a bit obsessed with old textbooks for children in mathematics. Particularly from the 50s/60s both from a graphic design perspective (some are so pretty!) and a content perspective.

Finally managed to get the websites www.frayer-model.co.uk and www.more-same-less.co.uk up and running again. For any maths teachers that haven't seen them in the past (or have and found them useful!) check them out.

I like to start the year with a lesson on using news articles to do some estimation or data calculations, to get the students talking and thinking about "real world" maths. Here are some recent news stories that I'm planning on using this year:

Currently writing some resources for AP Calc (US qualification) and it has some amazing multiple choice questions (and longer Qs too, but the multichoice are my favourite) which would be great to use in the classroom for teaching A level. Here are a few of my favs 🧵

and particularly A level teachers here now! I'm going to write a short guide for incoming Y12s starting A level Maths (&FM). Much will be setting specific, but does anyone have any top tips for making a good start that I can include?
