Hey kids! Want to get those top grades at GCSE Maths? Then make sure you also study GCSE Statistics! Plus you’ll get to learn about correlation and causation, which is always useful to know

Really like this from Michael. “But personalized learning is the wrong ideal. It’s thinking about this the wrong way. We shouldn’t be going all-in on kids learning on their own. We should be trying to figure out how to make whole-group learning even better.”

I have a new article out in the Chartered College of Teaching journal Impact, called ‘Embedding AI in education: A critique’. Here I make five main points, which I will helpfully plop in this thread for those without access or time to read it.

Happy Pythagorean Triple Day to all who celebrate!

Summer holidays means an excellent opportunity to do some reading. What books is everyone looking forward to reading over the summer? (Both non-education and education suggestions welcome)

NEW BLOG: The Seduction of Destruction www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

New post! 'Conferences and Catching Up'. A write up of the events I've attended in the last couple of weeks and a summary of the current talking points in maths education. www.resourceaholic.com/2025/07/conf... #ukmathschat #mathstoday #meiconf2025

Teachers - did you know about I'm a Mathematician/I'm a Scientist? You can book a free online chat with your class and a real life mathematician, statistician, or scientist to ask them all about their job and career. Bookings here: imamathematician.uk/book-activity/

📢 Exciting News! 🎉 We're thrilled to announce that we will be joining together with other respected mathematics associations to form AMiE (Association for Mathematics in Education). More information about our transition to AMiE can be found here: buff.ly/6xfmVDv

Really enjoyed yesterday’s #mathsconf38 - from quickly calculating dates in a different century to the most gorgeous surd questions, I’ve had lots to think about! Best of all, it was great to see everyone - especially at an Ormiston School 💕.

Always love a MathsConf and #MathsConf38 did not disappoint! Nice to see lots of friendly faces and as always the workshops I attended were brilliant. Thank you to @jemmaths.bsky.social, @blatherwicksam.bsky.social, @taylorda01.bsky.social and @mathsjem.bsky.social for all the ideas...

After lunch at #mathsconf38 with @emmaemma53.bsky.social doing fractions

First up at #mathsconf38 it's @jemmaths.bsky.social banishing bidmas ✨️

Session 3 is Paul Rodrigo on what he’s learnt about assessment from teaching the Middle Years Programme in Sweden.

Session 2 at #mathsconf38 and it’s @blatherwicksam.bsky.social on transforming graphs. Starting off with a great exercise going back and forth on linear graphs.

Can’t wait for Saturday. Not too late to snap up a ticket if you want to come for a day of the best maths PD and community you’ll have in ages…

Light bulb moment when looking at OATMaths resouces on solving simultaneous equations by elimination - using zero pairs/identical pairs to decide if you add or subtract - makes so much sense! Used that language with Y10 & they picked it up so quickly. Thanks @jemmaths.bsky.social & team #mathstoday

1. A story. Please read. Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit. I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.
