Slept in my Smiths t-shirt and heaven knows I’m miserable now.

This is the best thing I've seen in the whole of today: https://youtu.be/tqIki33mTgs (Shared by someone via a chat group I'm in) #mathstoday

As my Best Guess folders gain traction, remember that whether they are called Predicted Papers, Practice Papers or Best Guess Papers, they are ONLY practice papers. Until Paper 1 has happened, there is no way to predict or guess what will be on Paper 2. b.link/bestguessgcse b.link/bestguessalevel

Me and him are the level of chilled like only a Sunday night in the holiday can bring. 🖤🤍 Hope you all enjoy your breaks, even if you have to wait a little longer for them.

Book recommendations for a long flight please? Both ones to actually read and also any that work really well as Audiobooks. Thank you 🙂

I really like this graph. Pondering how I could use it in a maths lesson... #MathsToday

Wasn’t planning on booking a mid-term weekend away today but…it just happened. If anyone has been to Limoges and had accommodation or “to do” or “where to eat” recommendations, please hit me up.

I had an explore of the update to Craig Barton’s website today. Wowee. 👏🏻

This is a Dance off! If you see this, post a dance or you’re eliminated!

I do not have adequate words for how abhorrent an individual you must be to burn ambulances. The insufficient words I can manage to find are all swear words far, far too bad to write here.

Ps she suggested a compass, then the discussion just went round in circles.

Brilliant.

This time last year, I had a handful of year 13 #ALevelMaths students who were in the danger zone of getting a U (maybe getting E on a good day) So I started giving them daily videos to watch by @tlmaths.bsky.social to break their revision down into manageable chunks. There was a tick sheet...

The treasure hunt is always a highlight (thanks to @missradders.bsky.social for sharing this years ago!). A great way for students to get to know teachers around the school. Always gets high engagement from all year groups. They love it!

My year 13s are struggling with reverse chain rule, so wrote these as a bridging task before we look at adjusting to get a reverse chain rule result. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

To those celebrating:

I’d really appreciate shares of this 🙏 This was my mum’s home for 20 years. It’s a few minutes from the sea in beautiful Cromer in Norfolk. We really need to sell it. It’s in a retirement complex so over 55s. No buildings maintenance to worry about. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Some schools have layer upon layer of failed initiatives, still clogging up workload and teachers' time, that need to be peeled away before you can get to the nub of what really needs improving.

Retrieval practice is a powerful tool but it's often used in ways that are not supported by the evidence. Here are five principles to think about when trying to avoid lethal mutations and apply it more effectively. open.substack.com/pub/carlhend...

Not only am I getting a bucket list tick by FINALLY going to the @hayfestival.bsky.social, I have just bagged tickets for two absolute power-house, brave, inspirational women. Cannot. Wait. If anyone has been before and has tips for making the most of my visit please let me know. Is it May yet?

Love that McDonald's are getting involved ❤️

Anyone know a foolproof way to reduce this massive system data on iOS? (Currently 83GB 😳) I have done obvious things like clear browser history and uninstall and reinstall SM apps.

If anyone else was affected good advice here from Martin. Interesting that some people have been offered compensation already and some of us fobbed off with “just a glitch”.

Just logged in to my bank account and had a list of someone else’s details and transactions. Bank telling me not to worry as it was “just” a “technical glitch”. So who have they just given my information to? Worrying cc @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com

I’d quite like to be sacked and then demand half a mill. Who do I talk to?

Exciting news for teachers of AQA #ALevelMaths, Further Maths and #CoreMaths - there are now shadow papers available for the 2025 series, on myAQA (the password protected bit) 🥳 Same questions, but slightly different numbers and answers. Good for mocks or retests/follow up to mocks.

#MathsToday we have a visually impaired student who uses an ipad. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the calculator on an ipad to give exact answers in terms of pi or as surds or fractions rather than decimals?

So yesterday I was lucky enough to spend some time looking through Don Steward's lifetime of tasks and notes stored at @lborodme.bsky.social In case you're not aware (I wasn't!), these have all been digitised and are available here: donsteward.blogspot.com/p/don-stewar...

So there is a company that does restaurant tours in major cities. My friend bought me one in York which we’ve done today. Sunday afternoons 12-5, one course plus wine in each of six restaurants. One low point but five hits; four of them fabulous. Recommended. (Not an Ad). www.restauranttour.co.uk

Where is Radders? Answer: blooming heaven.

(Yet) another "Blank is Best" slide used in #MathsToday. I made up the coordinates of A and B and Y10 had to try and fill the rest.

I used another “blank is best” in #MathsToday. We first chose a few angles to show the two red lines are always perpendicular. Then we chose a few lengths to show the gradient of one red line is always the negative reciprocal of the other.

My mission to see all Oscar nominated films for: - best picture -best documentary - best international film continues.

This whole event is an actual <beep> show. Not sure why it was allowed to be aired in a recorded event? Lots of ignorance about the disease today but also seems like these actors weren’t even given the decency of a check-in. Slurs, even unintentional, have consequences & inflict harm and upset.

Let’s not miss the truly sad thing here: it’s too late. Women are dead. It didn’t have to be like this.

I reckon the last time the son of a sovereign was taken into custody in Britain was the Duke of Monmouth in 1685.

The Mr Barton Maths website has just had a massive update. Please share this post. @mathsjem.bsky.social @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social

I think Jason Mamoa might be filming in my village today. Went for a drive-by. His security appear to be a group of nans in hi-vis. I could take em.
