As mental as you would expect from Lanthimos but by ‘eck it’s brilliant.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

In #mathstoday our team did some training on using Desmos to teach using one of these lovely webinar recordings from @tombutton.bsky.social and @sarahdenisonmei.bsky.social. amsp.org.uk/teachers/tea...

Have mostly focused on Maths and reading details as they are my two school “hats” but I am pleased with the curriculum review and, depending on the lower level detail, I think there’s real scope for positive change here. Review: www.gov.uk/government/p... Response: www.gov.uk/government/p...

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago. I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

Anyone know where they modified June 2025 AQA GCSE papers can be found please? Not even a filter for that series on MyAQA. No idea why they got rid of All About Maths. I think AQA are close to putting the nail in their coffin for me. Such a time drain running their course at the minute.

Today was an excellent day. This job is marvellous for the one day per half-term when you are not totally exhausted. 😂

Lewis: bang on the money, as always.

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

That’ll be my airport alarm. ✈️ Can’t avoid the inevitable anymore. 😔

Reposting mainly so I remember to do it when I’m home but if you’re new here, do this! Was my first time last year and I loved unwrapping a mystery book on Christmas morning.

Nipped to the supermarket. Three women in front of me, together but paying separately: Woman 1: A lettuce Woman 2: A lettuce and a bag of rice Woman 3: Two lettuces and a bag of rice. I’ve broken some chain by just buying wine haven’t I. Am I now cursed? 😱

Happy weekend. Halloween isn’t a thing here. Thank God.

Happy/Merry/Blessed Halloween/Samhain/Spooky Season to all who celebrate!

Does anyone know what resources are incoming from Axiom for @mathsweekengland24.bsky.social ? I’m trying to see if I can formulate a MWE lesson for both KS3 and KS4 classes and there’s nothing there suitable yet so not sure whether to start from scratch or wait?

Half term so far. 🇭🇷

If anyone was thinking of getting a SIGNED copy of The Mathematicians' Library for someone for Christmas, I have 42 copies ready and raring to go: £25 (+ £5 delivery in the UK unless you can pick it up from Milton Keynes). As always, a boost of this post would be much appreciated 😁

I like my new apartment. Might stay. 🇭🇷

There are Croatian children in this restaurant. What is their phrase of choice? I’ll give you a hint: it starts in a 6.

Listen up, I have a theory…

If you’re a NT member it’s important you vote to keep out the right wingers. There is a box you can tick to vote for the “recommended candidates”. Please do this.

Ideally I need to be awake at new 1.45am tomorrow. There is no way to set an alarm for new 1.45am tomorrow. Sigh.

In my usual “do I have enough books for a week?” planning panic.

Starting Surds after the holidays (only taught it once) Anyone got a nice way to start it as my group last year still had some issues after being taught and I know there's a better way.

Quick share with your students 😁

Left: Requires triangle-interior-angle-sum and straight-angle-sum. 3 steps. Slower? Right: Exterior Angle Theorem (Euclid 1–32). Requires corresponding and alternate angles. 1 step. Faster? Right feels cleaner to me ... I wonder what pupils would think? #UKMathsChat #iTeachMaths

As behaviour is a significant reason for teachers leaving the profession, I genuinely believe that a centralised behaviour policy should be made compulsory in all schools. 1/3

If this was a normal half term it’d nearly be done. Be gentle with yourselves, folks. I’m holding the rare seven week Summer break in my mind as a very distant reward.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

A moment of silence, please, for the ever faithful Umberto who sadly passed last night after suffering catastrophic injuries due to a viscious attack by Amy. Despite desperate attempts to rescue him, he sadly could not withstand his injuries. I would be grateful for the time to grieve in peace.

Great night of comedy at the new Bradford Live venue with Ed Gamble, Jonny Pelham, Lou Sanders, Lucy Beaumont and Phil Wang. Centenary Square looking magnificent all lit up.
