Reckon Spotify should have a "Reverse" option where you listen to albums back to front so you're not stuck listening to the same 5 songs on your commute every morning but still keep the "albums shouldn't be listened to on shuffle" crowd partly happy

My carrer goal is to teach the Seven Bridges of Königsberg by building a train track out of Brio. Just 2 bridges short...

If you're one of those TikTok maths tutors I'm sorry but you're making income from exploiting kids anxiety

Where is this kid? Come on mate there's a paper 2 i need to see

Sorry but if I discovered a member of my department was putting their lessons on TikTok I'd make them sign the most water tight waiver stating no decisions were made me the school, sending immediately to the LADO and assuring the account is removed before any return to the classroom

I've been driving for a decade now and I swear the standard of driving has plummeted to new lows over the last year

There's something wonderfully poetic about McFly singing "she's obviously way out of my league" at Southampton's stadium this summer

Good luck today to all the kids who thought they'd just be kicking a ball around for two years #gcsepe

Im not saying I officially became old last week but I did just spend my birthday money on a lawnmower

#mathstoday keep thinking back to a student who said that Pythagoras was a Greek god which then prompted another students to draw Pythagoras as Zeus throwing right angled triangles from Mount Olympus (this is an AI interpretation of the event)

Just unloaded a delivery of 500 glue sticks for my department and in school currency I am now the equivalent of Jeff Bezos

Sending my thoughts to everyone sitting through the staff briefing at Michela this morning. "I hope everyone had a lovely relaxing sunday...."

#edusky I've listened to so many good things this week age wanted to take inspo from @markgoodrich.bsky.social with a #Saturday3 podcast edition

#mathstoday that edexcel paper got dropped on my desk just as I was teaching inverse proportion to year 9. Very handy indeed *turns to question 5*

Just want to say a massive photo to the random kid on tiktok decided to take photos of every page of the foundation paper DURING the exam so he could post it afterwards

Where does a school buy isometric paper? Cant find it on our usual suppliers and amazon is 💵💵💵

Last year 11 lesson before their maths paper, what do you give them? #mathstoday

I've tried to use AI to help me with assessment prep and feedback, mainly to create either revision papers or shadow papers to use for feedback and at some point I just give up and finish it all off myself, until it can reduce my workload every single time I'm putting it in the bin

@amymayforrester.bsky.social making that comment about students doing something wrong on cctv reminds me of when I was sat in the pastoral office with a year 7 and HoY watching him boot a ball at the back of my head on CCTV. He still denied it...

So mad to see a guy i played sport with as a kid on the front page of BBC sport holding the national league trophy.

Delivering training to ECTs next week based around @mrarobbins.bsky.social and "cancelling copying." Would love to know what is a technique people love to use which you believe embeds learning better than copying down an example? #edusky

Keeping up the sports metaphors as I know he won't understand them but listening to @adamboxereducation.bsky.social talk talking on Chalk Dust is like listening to Tiger Woods explain how to play the 17th at Sawgrass

Just want to put this out there to see The more revision sessions a school puts on the less students revise. Feel like students need the responsibility of doing it for themselves

Played Heardle with my tutor group today and one of them asked "what's a Madonna?"

I'm sad because my book about the history of Doc Martins got the boot

Anybody else being offered about 5 jobs a day teaching in the middle East or is it just me? Sadly none have included a Kevlar Vest and Helmet in their employee benefits

I see Walkthrus is getting a bit of stick over on that other place

#mathstoday thought I'd get away from this in 2 weeks but I'm maths today I taught my wife about metric weight conversion after I moved 3 tonnes of stone in 2 days by myself (50 bags per tonne) at one point she said "at least the stuff going on top will be lighter because the stones are smaller" 😂

Refused to watch Project Hail Mary until I read the book but now that I have I feel like the ending really spoils it and am now to scared to see the film

Now got to do a briefing in front of the whole staff after Easter on what ive learnt from this. Note to self: next time you seek out your own CPD keep it to yourself 😂

#mathstoday any members of the 21000 or bust crew on here? This was heartbreaking stuff

Catching up with @adamboxereducation.bsky.social webinar last night (poor old Nigel), it's fantastic 100% preaching to the choir but that encourages me to think that the way im supporting my year 11s is right for them

When you think you've finally found the perfect diagnostic question but it turns out to be in Welsh #mathstoday

My pet peeve in lessons I've observed recently is 100% printing a worksheet that a student isnt allowed to write on. Like if it is that vital your worksheet is printed then let them write on it

Can't help but feel that Netflix releasing The Peaky Blinders film the week after the Manosphere documentary is somewhat hypocritical

#mathstoday booked a computer room with year 8 today without clocking its a non-school uniform day. Come back later to see if i survive

Also just really curious as to what people believe makes a difference? There are so many strategies around revision and intervention that have been shown not to work but we fall back on them in a last ditch attempt out of desperation

##edusky the mocks have been marked. The progress has been noted. Help me out please fellow teachers, how do you get those marginal gains to get those last few year 11 students over the line

#mathstoday we had our pi day bake off! Whilst it didn't win, one of my year 10s drew a portrait of me teaching pi using icing

@adamboxereducation.bsky.social on Chalk Dust this week

Had year 11 for a token 20 minutes between mocks and they were having an interesting debate about what's harder being a primary teacher or secondary, unanimously primary (including me). Not one student thought it was an easy job either 🤔

##mathstoday after 2 lessons away on a course I think my year 11s have realised the best thing for them to do in their maths lessons is to sit listen and do the work. Was a pleasant surprise!

Have some schools gone too 100 minute lessons purely for crowd control or is there a pedagogical reason behind it too?

Why did they update mathsbox?? #changeisnotgood

#MathsToday I used algebra tiles for the first time today, my department love them and i decided to embrace it being new this year. It was a great success (with bottom set year 8 last lesson too!)

Lads and dads (or should be lad and dad) day out to the farm today. Think I need to attach a flag to the buddy that says "I am not divorced" for when I take him out solo

Was listening to a thing by Ochre about curriculum and equity on my way home and apparently schools pay Twinkl £42MILLION a year.

Listening to an American commentate on cricket is like seeing a PE teacher in a suit on parentes evening. Like I known it's your job and you're more than qualified to do this but something still isn't quite right

The football is so turgid that im sat here laughing at @joel120193.bsky.social blog in what feels like a masochistic manner. Like sorry what is this and why have we all had to do it?

#mathstoday love teaching compound/simple interest as it's the only time I can put my undergraduate degree to good use and explain how the Mona Lisa wouldn't exist without the introduction of charging interest in banking
