Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

My biggest baby is home! Can't believe this is my 25th year as a Mum at Christmas 😍

AMAZING!

My extra Further mathematics Christmas Calculated Colouring for 2025 is now available on my website. This has some year 2 content in the questions.. My 2024 and 2019 ones are pretty much just Year 12 depending on SOWs etc. Link: blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/12... #ALevelMaths

Today in #ALevelMaths my 2025 A-Level Calculated colouring went up on my website. Feel free to use :) blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/12...

Over 150 teams made commendable submissions to our tough Stage 3 challenge. Very well done to all of you! In just 2 minutes you’ll learn who’s won #Ritangle 2025! #MathsChallenge

new mathematics video just dropped! starting a little series on my channel introducing mathematical proofs :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce4J...

My boy got an offer to do MMath at Warwick. I am incredibly proud of him and also how can this baby leave home?

It must be December - tree is up, nails are done, EXIT advent calendar started 😁

We've had lots of interest in the 'Maths into Data Science and AI' course for non-A level Maths students It's ideal for students of Core Maths or A level Computer Science Bookings for the spring term course close on Fri 5 Dec: amsp.org.uk/event/b08828...

From 1st December we become the Association for Mathematics in Education (AMiE). This account will no longer be used. Please follow: @amiemathematics.bsky.social

This is SO cool 😁😁😁😁 thanks @drbennison.bsky.social ❤️

In #MathsToday Y13 filled this normal distribution table #ALevelMaths I love this resource, especially when students get to the second one of the bottom row and get stuck, at which point I usually prompt them to look for where 0.7778 appears elsewhere. But today, that didn’t happen…

I've been loving teaching on MEI's Maths Into AI (for students) and Maths of Data Science and AI (for teachers). They're free (+ teachers get a bursary of £350 to cover costs). Next term's for teachers is open, starts in Feb: amsp.org.uk/event/b23514... General details: amsp.org.uk/maths-into-ai/

Ashleigh Ratcliffe & Rosie Evans wrote a blog post presenting their booklet on how to improve gender diversity in maths: “Sharing of information, opportunities and networks is invaluable, especially to first generation PhD students and minoritised groups.” ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/the-piscopia...

This year I have printed some mathematical advent calendars. Turns out this was more expensive to do than I anticipated. I have a limited number available if any of you would like to buy one? £8 including postage and a couple of extra little surprises.More details: buymeacoffee.com/drbennison/e...

Absolutely amazing two days in London at the Teaching Further Maths 1 study days. I will never get over how inspiring it is to watch a group of teachers work hard, support each other and really push themselves for the entire day. Applications for Spring courses open now 😁 amsp.org.uk/teachers/ext...

The AMSP 'Maths of Data Science and AI' spring-term course for #ALevelMaths students is nearly full and we're likely to close applications later on today. There's still places on our course for non-A level Maths students and our teacher PD course though: amsp.org.uk/maths-into-ai/

Also notice my super cute earrings!

It's a beautiful day for the first London TFM1 study day today. Can't wait 😁

MEI’s Big Earth Data Project is here for Maths Week England 2025! Students can explore real satellite data, analyse environmental changes, and discover how maths helps solve global challenges. Free KS3–4 & A level resources available now: buff.ly/rxG6s90 #MWE2025 #MathsWeekEngland #STEM

CERN celebrates LGBTQ+ in STEM Day Today we celebrate and highlight the work of and barriers facing LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering and maths. To mark the date, the Progress Pride flag will fly above the Esplanade des Particules for the third year. 🔗 home.cern/news/news/ce...

Happy International Day of LGBTQIA+ People In STEM! How are you celebrating it? #LGBTQSTEMDay #PrideInSTEM

Worked hard on a big revision of my risps. Weeding out mistakes, making tasks clearer, writing Geogebra and Excel files, all with better navigation; look out for the free eBook coming out in January!

This week is crazy busy but I am finishing it with two days of TFM1 study days in London and I can't wait 😁

On Tuesday the boy who made me a mum will be 24. I was 21, had to take a year out of uni & had no idea how it would turn out. 19 years later he quit medicine after a year, took a year out & had no idea how it would turn out. It's all turning out great ❤️😁

It’s nearly time for Maths Week England 2025! A whole week (15–23 Nov) of FREE maths fun for everyone; puzzles, challenges, and live events that show maths is for all, not just the ‘clever few’. Join 2 million others celebrating the beauty of maths: buff.ly/vf3wklv #MathsWeekEngland

In #mathstoday I’ve been desperately trying to find some short videos I remember on the maths needed in various careers, aimed at KS3/4 (rather than A Level which I can find on AMSP @meimaths.bsky.social ) I’m sure one featured Grove Lodge Vets in Brighton. Any ideas anyone pls? Or similar?

Does anyone have a nice set of simple problems to apply the #coremaths modelling cycle to? The sort of thing where students could work in groups to fill out a template of the cycle and then present their findings.

I think it's safe to say that people are pretty 'aware' right now. What we actually need is safety and allyship but happy #TransgenderAwarenessWeek anyway. If you want a trans pin, either as a pride symbol or in solidarity, this is your regular reminder that I sell a bunch at canopyrobin.etsy.com

Argh TMUA results on Friday. So hoping my lovely boy feels he did himself proud. I have no doubt about his ability but exams make me 🤯

This is awesome - it's made it really easy to generate charts that can be imported into documents to form the basis of a discussion

Last Friday, I had the honour of announcing the theme for LGBT+ History Month 2026, 'Science and Innovation'. This is my 5th LGBT+ History Month since starting with the charity in 2021! This is an exciting theme for me as a queer science communicator.

Immensely proud to share that I am the designer of the official badge for LGBT+ History Month 2026. Last night, @lgbthm.bsky.social revealed that the 2026 theme for the month will be 'Science and Innovation', so get ready to learn about some amazing queer scientists next year!

James Watson made some tremendous contributions to science, and expressed many grotesque views, which were racist, sexist and ignorant. These are all well documented.

We are very happy to share the first part of our our LGBT+ History Month UK resources in collaboration with Pop'n'Olly! prideinstem.org/primary-scho...

I've collated some data from UCAS for the top 25-ish universities that our students (from the Hull area) progress to to study STEM subjects, comparing the published entry criteria, the most common grade profile for students currently on the course, and the lowest grades of a student on the course...

I have my #ALevelMaths feed but want to ask some KS3 advice (around assessment). Any suggestions of feeds to follow/ask? Thanks.

We, @meimaths.bsky.social, are still taking applications for students wanting live online tuition for the TMUA in January. Also our on demand courses are still open and SUMS magazine is available monthly. Please share with students 😁 mei.org.uk/online-tmua/ mei.org.uk/preparing-fo...

Everyone should watch Riot Women. Partly because it is filmed around me but mostly because it is beautifully written, performed and shot ❤️

I think @desmos.com genuinely changed my teaching life. So glad to be able to pass that on to other people 😍

Next term we'll be running a version of our popular 'Maths into Data Science and AI' course for non-A level Maths students. This 9-session online course is ideal for students of Core Maths or A level Computer Science. You can sign your students up now at: amsp.org.uk/event/b08828...

35 years ago my beautiful cousin Rebecca was born. She died 4 days later and left a hole in our family forever. Happy birthday Rebecca - I will always wonder who you would have been ❤️
