Bad news, maths is already in everything

His child had anxiety eh? I'm sure seeing dad crash out at school is definitely going to help.

I spent an entire PPA trying to get Microsoft Edge to start up with our intranet page instead of copilot.

The only shady* spot outside KGX stations and it's all fenced off so no one can stand there *partially, since they built it with a glass roof

👀 is this in the normal salary range for a TA? (I think they definitely deserve it btw for the job)

I got carried away and made a thing... Testers welcome! #alevelmaths #mathstoday #alevelrevision #mathsrevision

Oh really!

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

Sipping on ice water and pointing my desk fan at my battery pack charging, so it doesn't explode and burn down the school

Oh boy. No wonder the previous tenants of my flat didn't tell you that they got married (and moved house)

I need to show this to the non-maths AI evangelists at work. We _already had_ tools to do maths before genAI, tools that actually work all of the time.

I found myself somewhere VERY air conditioned to work, but it looks like it's nearly 45 degrees outside. #MathsToday #Freelancer

Hope you’re all surviving ☀️ I have one lesson left at the end of term with year 12 and I’d love a hands-off revision lesson to cover year 12 content (thinking calculated colouring, murder mystery etc). Anyone got/know of anything like this before I get creative? Thank you 🥰 #alevelmaths #mathstoday

#Alevelmaths Can anyone point me in the right direction for a reading list for A-level Maths students? I remember someone shared one previously, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated.

#Alevelmaths Quick question for A level teachers - - what papers are you using for your end of year 12 progression exams? Please dm if you cannot disclose it here . - are you basing UCAs predicted grades solely on these exams ? - are you assessing only AS content ?

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Got a new laptop at work so I need new stickers for it. Genuinely thinking I should get one with an anti-AI* sentiment. *generative AI, I'm happy with ML algorithms that do stuff

🥵Why are so many Europeans/Britons unnecessarily sweating through a heatwave without cooling? Why are portable AC units so crap? The answers are both interesting and maddening. My latest on air conditioning👇 edconway.substack.com/p/the-missin...

Delighted to see @edconway.bsky.social’s new podcast Stuff Matters - for anyone interested in actual things, how we get them, how they work - and what they mean for our economy and society I loved Ed’s book Material World - can’t wait to give this a listen

I downloaded the kindle app and read the equivalent of 56 books last year! Their tag line is something about "high iq" or "smart people" sorry mate if you were actually smart you'd read the whole book

This evening I was walking out of a heavily air conditioned McDonald's (bliss) into the warm evening and the hot smell coming off the ground in the car park ... it felt like ... Christmas? 🎄 ☀️ 😎

The website for the 2026 Bridges Conference Exhibition of Mathematical Art, Craft, and Design is now live, featuring the work of more than 150 artists. gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/...

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Now THIS is an ed tech innovation I can get support

If anyone needs to think cold thoughts today, here's a video of a cold train journey. youtu.be/h0vrvXBLoCU?...

Does anyone have any good resources for A Level Maths and A Level Further Maths taster sessions? #alevelmaths #mathstoday

I'm blocking anyone who is trying to use #MathsToday to sell me resources

🤪

The notation "fg" for composition of functions is a terrible notation... Responsible for much confusion and mistakes galore from students. Do you have your own "most hated" maths notation? Let me know #MathsToday #Alevelmaths

I didn't think it was that bad in my flat but the smoke alarm just went off

Climate emergency cancels Reform's "cancel the climate emergency" meeting - council members were due to vote on Thurs on a Reform motion to rescind the climate emergency.

There is ONE thing I am looking forward to this heatwave: Pictures of paschal candles that have melted in churches. Here's an example from a few years ago. It's my favourite phenomenon. Because, well... Look at it.

ready for the heatwave (the fan is of course directed right at me, the 45yo woman teaching in this room) no If kids find it too hot then their parents should have sent them in with ice water, a fan, or kept them home 🤷‍♀️

Sch leaders: we can have extreme heat dress code for today and Wednesday, but let's wait and see for Thursday and Friday and decide later

Currently auditing what we do for #alevelmaths transition, from Y11 to Y12, at my school. I’m curious to hear what other schools do. Do you run an induction lesson? If so, what maths do you do in that induction lesson? What transition work do you set?

Ironic this is on the 23rd

Hey remember that fb post from someone during lockdown complaining about teachers drinking wine and having affairs? I've found the heatwave version

You know how the down side of the "buy all the same kind of sock" method is that every 8 years all your socks develop holes at once? This week I urgently need to repair all my dresses 🤪

3 separate people have shared on the village fb groups the symptoms of heat distress in dogs. Zero people have mentioned the dangers of excessive heat for young children or old people.

For a moment I thought it was going to be an actual dilemma.

Saving this thread for a summer maths lesson

No one in this country has heard of screen doors so while it's lovey and cool outside, I'm waiting pizza in the dark in my living room with the door open and all the lights off so I don't attract bugs

The sixth installment of "How The Heck" is live! This one is all about synths. perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

this is my effort to introduce people to the differences between generative and non-generative kinds of artificial intelligence while assuming *no* prior math, computer science, or any of the scary things that come up when we talk about AI.

Not too many things make me incandescently angry at students nowadays (meh, it's their life, I'm not their mum, I'm already UPS3) but one that does is a kid writing "you didn't teach us this" Happily now I can just look it up on one note and reply with the dates that I did indeed teach it.

Had several good conversations with students about AI based off my "sustainability pledge" nametag. Best one was the kid who asked "but miss what do you use instead of AI?" And I replied "my brain!!"
