So proud of so the people at MathsWorldUK who’ve been working so hard to give the UK its first City of Maths. Enjoy it Leeds!

My first swing ball for a decade! ❤️

Feel so privileged to be part of this. The atmosphere of 900+ people keenly learning maths in this theatre is amazing.

I'm getting pretty excited about talking maths at the giant Cambridge Theatre in London on Monday, with @mathsinspiration.bsky.social

Hello Maths Teachers, can anyone help me find a set of worksheets/booklets for the Edexcel Entry Level Certificate for refugee children in my school? I a set for level 1 would be amazing to have a set for level 2 and 3 that they can work through. @mathsjem.bsky.social - would so appreciate a shout!

Why I'm not at Big Maths Jam in person ❤️

Me in a giant bubble at the @mathsworld.com London official launch party last night! The new, fabulous, mathematical museum in London

Recently I was playing with the Square-Sums Puzzle (as explored previously by @standupmaths.bsky.social on Numberphile) and realised it would be fun for schools. So here is a FREE teacher resource: think-maths.co.uk/square-sums (and enjoy its use being modelled by my in-house mathematician below).

A close up of my excited, summery face from Summer Celebration virtual show, to remind schools that you can book access to the recording from Friday to use with all/any of your students this summer, or you can join the next live shows on 8 July. More info at www.think-maths.co.uk/summer-celebration

Finally got round to trying to book appt to donate blood, to discover I can't donate blood because I had a blood transfusion a couple of years ago (which, ironically, is what prompted me to donate blood). Wishing I'd done it more times before. Someone else do it for me!

This is fun. I just submitted something...

We’ll have a selection of panels as part of the #TMiP25 conference, including one on careers in maths with @zoelgriffiths.bsky.social, Dominique Sleet and @acescicomm.bsky.social, sharing their comms career journeys. Tickets at talkingmathsinpublic.uk

Inspire your Y7 -10 students this June and July with my virtual show Summer Celebration: Mathematical Surprises. An interactive Zoom show at specific times, or watch a recorded version at any time. Spread the word! More at: think-maths.co.uk/summer-celeb...

I give you the earth (the tiny marble), Jupiter (the ball), the Sun (modelled as a disc, the table), and my son (not to scale), as a result of him coming home from nursery singing a song with lyrics 'our Earth is greater than the Sun'.

Packing up the pi-zes! The results are in! www.think-maths.co.uk/pi-results-25

Help needed! UK state school teachers: which week will you have your summer maths internal assessments for KS3 this year?

I've talked about maths in worse places. Very much enjoying my little 2/3 day break. Some lovely work, and some lovely exploring.

Joining the Bath Forum wall of fame, with @mathsinspiration.bsky.social today. Fun show!

Sunshine and Tangrams 😊

Cake(s) I made to celebrate every member of our family being a square age, in the square year (in other words, age 36, I made myself four birthday cakes).

I'm running the Pi Representation competition again this year! Free and fun, with a chance of winning a prize. For schools and students (any school age). Deadline 28 March 2024. Visit: think-maths.co.uk/pi-comp

My primary event (insidemaths.co.uk) @ri-science.bsky.social went fabulously last week. I'm ridiculously proud, (and glad I backed myself 8 months ago to single-handedly create and manage it). Amazing feedback (insidemaths.co.uk/feedback). Fab talks from @robeastaway.bsky.social and Fran Watson.

Hard to deny that motherhood has drastically improved my cake construction skills. I give you: my son's first birthday cake (the moon), Feb 2022, and his 4th birthday cake, 2025.

Inside Maths booklets have arrived! Excited.

❤️ Not sure we're coming back...

Resisting the temptation to talk about combinatorics.

Enjoying being a Christmas elf today and packing up the prizes for the Merry Mathsmas mini lottery....lovely badges from Mega Shed Arts on Etsy

I'm one of them! Every year the @mscroggs.co.uk Advent Calendar reminds me how nice it is to do a little bit of maths every day

💚

Not a bad venue for a talk!

Our South West show is returning to the Bath Forum on 7th March (our usual Bristol venues weren't available). Featuring Ben Sparks, Zoe Griffiths, Aoife Hunt and Paul Shepherd. Book here: mathsinspiration.com/events/?id=192 ( @sparksmaths.bsky.social @zoelgriffiths.bsky.social

Building Sierpinski Tetrahedrons with year 5 at the Ri today was great fun! And good practise for my primary event in Feb - www.insidemaths.co.uk

I've written a review (in short, loved it) of Mapmatics by Paulina Rowinska: zoelgriffiths.co.uk/index.php/20...

I'm running Merry Mathsmas again this year (interactive, hands-on, festive virtual workshop for mixed-ability KS3). Nice to see lots of regular attendees and new schools on the bookings list...but there are tickets left! Visit: think-maths.co.uk/merry-mathsmas

Very excited to be launching a brand-new primary maths enrichment day, Inside Maths, at the Ri in London in Feb. Spread the word! insidemaths.co.uk

First Blue Sky post! Let's see how this works. To tell the world that I really like this. Love to do a niche journey to Northampton to add to it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
