I need to have a word with our canteen about the definition of 'square'

All set for my Inset day presentation on Problem-solving Strategies. Grogu with a Bento box! Soreen fruity Easter treats! And shoutouts to @mr-man-maths.bsky.social #MrBartonMaths #GeorgePolya @mrmattock.bsky.social

Fantastic afternoon filming my latest episode of the Twinkl 'Leading With' podcast with Cath Moore and Philip Chaffe from MEI and Matthew Lucas from @ucl.ac.uk about their project focusing on engaging Y10 pupils with university whilst raising maths attainment. Cannot wait for this one to come out!

In #mathstoday I showed my students what a 95% confidence interval actually means by using Excel and taking 100 random samples and seeing that the population mean was only within the interval 95% of the time.

Today the inestimable @studymaths.bsky.social led our student teachers on a fab day of insights. It was so good! Including prime factorisation, ratio tables, task design, completion tables and #blankisbest. Wonderful stuff! Thanks Jonny 😁

This is a good read and to think about what it means in subjects other than geography!

I'll be making Much Ado about Shakespearean numbers at the King's Head near London Bridge, 7pm on 17th Sept. Booking details below.

Hey @sparksmaths.bsky.social thanks for your last @tmip.bsky.social AGC. It really helped me with iterations and your other videos with zip. Thanks!

Anyone interested in me popping into their school to lead some exciting maths/stats pd at the end of term. Could be subject knowledge or wider pedagogy. Got loads of experience, insights and knowledge - happy to travel - reasonable rates! You won’t be disappointed! #mathscpd #alevelmaths

Please pass this on to anyone you know. It’s rare to get this kind of PhD funding these days and it’s such an important topic!

Does anyone know, in Geogebra can a variable name include a variable itself? Eg if I have A_1, A_2, A_3 etc can I create a slider ‘n’ to call A_n. TIA. @sparksmaths.bsky.social @mikegeogebra.bsky.social

The @ncetm.bsky.social has a fabulous #SKTMSecondaryNonSpecialistTeacherProgramme for anyone teaching mathematics outside of their specialism. This video featuring @kandmmathshub.bsky.social captures it perfectly. @j9allen.bsky.social @garethshadick.bsky.social www.ncetm.org.uk/news/inside-...

A few years ago I saw a (viral) photo of inside a McDonald’s taken in the early hours. It captured the scene perfectly, but I cannot track it down - anyone remember the one I meant?

So I wrote a thing… Anyone want to train to be a maths teacher? Our award winning PGCE based in the Loughborough Centre for Mathematical Cognition 👍

It was great drilling down into depth about one topic. Implications all over the curriculum. #mathstoday #mathshub @ncetm.bsky.social

So good to be collaborating between @advanced_maths and @emsmathshub for the A Level Pedagogy Work Group. Expertly led by @blatherwicksam.bsky.social and hosted by @lborodme.bsky.social Fab to be talking with other A Level maths teachers. Graph transformations are COOL! @amspEMidlands

This again. Please consider answering these questions. Thanks.

If you have a few minutes please answer this questionnaire on ‘fandom’ and ‘spirituality’ - I found it quite fun to do.

Dear secondary maths friends in the East Midlands… do any of you fancy a new job? I have one coming up at the loveliest school. DM for details.

Ok. I’m having a moment. Can anyone help me understand solving something like x^2=9 using inverse operations (on both sides) rather than ‘moving the square over to become + & - sqrt’? I seem to be getting myself confuzzled.

Ha ha. Bluesky attracting all sorts now 😂

Opinion: Americans don’t get the month and day the wrong way round. They just put the year in the wrong place. #iso8601
