#mathstoday Brilliant time with @vwheelhouse.bsky.social in session 1 of MEI’s TGM:Live course, discussing use of ratio tables, double number lines and bar models to support GCSE students to tackle ratio problems. Not too late to join this fantastic cohort of teachers: mei.org.uk/teaching-gcs...

A very interesting article from fft around disadvantaged pupils and their progress (or lack of it) in maths. Worth reading and pondering. How can we address this more effectively? ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2025/09/why-...

It’s Day 3 of #CalculatorCrunch and today’s puzzle is called 7-digit Numbers. We’ve given you three starting values of 10, 250 and 5,000. Using the operation times and brackets, can you create expressions with 7 digits, more than 7 digits and fewer than 7 digits? Visit buff.ly/npVOvTf for more.

It’s Day 2 of #CalculatorCrunch and today’s puzzle is called All the Sevens. Can you use just four 7s and all the operation keys to make all the numbers up to 30? Don’t forget to let us know how you get on! Visit buff.ly/npVOvTf for more.

Teaching A level Mathematics (TAM) is back this new academic year! It will consist of 6 in-person study days spread throughout the year, a formative lesson observation and access to course-specific teaching and learning resources. Apply now

After school further maths getting stuck into some trig equation solving. Planned a really precise approach for yr12 (manipulatives, laminated write-on graphs, small steps that move v quickly) and it’s worked really well for year 10 L2FM too! #MathsToday

Inspired by @mathforge.org at the Easter conference, today I started teaching Y9 trig by using similarity to reference triangles. #MathsToday I thought my class would need extra scaffolding so we started by using one triangle in lots of orientations…

🔮 If non-specialists might be teaching maths next year, now’s the time to explore support! The SKTM Programme builds subject confidence and strengthens departments, at no cost to schools. Start thinking ahead 👉 #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat

It's almost a new tax year. Here's my visualisation of how income tax works (or did in 2023-24). Explainer vid: youtu.be/zXJCyffu8Og Interactive version: www.geogebra.org/m/p97htgc3

My #CoreMaths students will definitely be seeing this! The reduction of personal allowance is nicely illustrated here.

This is an excellent course for anyone new to teaching Maths at KS4 or anyone who would like a refresher. Book before the end of term to avoid disappointment!

Do you teach GCSE maths? Have you checked out our Teaching GCSE Mathematics: Live course before? Join us this April to develop your subject knowledge, explore pedagogical approaches and increase your confidence in teaching GCSE Mathematics at foundation tier Apply here 🔗 mei.org.uk/event/944ea0...

Started pythagoras with Y9 in #MathsToday. I really like these questions that start with areas of squares, and gradually remove the squares until it’s just side lengths. Would highly recommend @drrowlandson.bsky.social’s blog post about this approach ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2022/10/15/t...

In the week of 19-23 May I'm offering FREE 'Much Ado About Numbers' talks for secondary schools (Years 9-12). Note: 1) This must be a collaboration with English/History teachers 2) If outside M25 I'll request the train fare. Contact me via email AT robeastaway .com @nationalnumeracy.bsky.social

Some #MathsToday from the second A Level Pedagogy work group meeting with 10 other teachers from Essex. The theme was using graphing technology - I particularly liked learning how to use a graphical calculator! This task was a fun one. How would you answer? #ALevelMaths

Applications open for 2025-26, Secondary Non-specialist Teachers Programme. For details visit : www.cambridgemathshub.co.uk/secondary-no...

Secondary timetablers and Maths Leads…will you have any non-specialist teachers in your dept teaching GCSE Maths next year? If so, I recommend they join @meimaths.bsky.social TGM Live course, starting 29 April, to help them hit the ground running in the new academic year: mei.org.uk/teaching-gcs...

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

I used to encourage students to highlight F or Z shapes for parallel lines questions, but today I just told Y9 to highlight the transversal. It’s an easier first step, and they were almost always then able to immediately see what to do next. Also, I love these MathsPad questions! #MathsToday

Had an amazing time today with the @cambridgemathshub.bsky.social A Level Pedagogy workgroup. Lots of rich discussions about representation and variation. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths Shout out to @catrionaagg.bsky.social for inspiring this activity. Thank you to @cammathsschool.bsky.social for hosting.

Hi Bluesky! We're thrilled to be here to share what we're up to at MEI. If you've not heard of us, we're an educational charity that transforms lives through maths education. Follow us for great CPD and enrichment, plus insights on #MathsEd. #UKEd #UKMathsChat #AlevelMaths #EduSky #UKTeaching

#MathsToday Our Y12 & 13 students share a problem each week, to be solved using GCSE-level mathematics. This week is all surds. View the problem and submit your solution here: cms.tela.org.uk/problem-of-t...

In #mathstoday, I was working with a group of non-specialist teachers to explore the properties of a rhombus and how the constructions for angle bisectors and perpendiculars are all linked to this. Amazing group of people sharing ideas and supporting each other.

Do you have A Level maths students that would benefit from a confidence boost? Or that struggle to formalise problem-solving strategies? Building Confidence for Y12 and Building Resilience for Y13 are open for booking 😁 amsp.org.uk/event/cf4372... amsp.org.uk/event/9e868f...

If you teach maths (at any level), why not join in with #MathsToday this term? The idea is to share a little thing from your classroom - doesn’t have to be polished or original. You can join in occasionally or aim to post something every day. I’ve found it a great way to focus on the positives!

Fantastic time at our first workgroup session; a brilliant group of teachers sharing pedagogical ideas and reflections about classroom practice. We started to discuss how TfM looks like in an A level setting. @ncetm.bsky.social

Read to teach proof in #ALevelMaths #MathsToday using @mrsouthernmaths.bsky.social favourite resource from blog.ifem.co.uk/blog/2018/06...

Half of Y7 were missing for a PSHE event so the rest of us did some algebra tile puzzles #MathsToday

#Alevelmaths What is your favourite activity/hook for a first y12 lesson on Surds & Indices?

There's a possibility I can be in Cambridge on the afternoon of Monday 9th December 2024. Anyone want to book in a (potentially reduced cost) maths talk/event/workshop? Get in touch via www.bensparks.co.uk/booking-ben/

Slowly built up the idea of simultaneous equations in #MathsToday. Slides deliberately without values so I could pick and choose depending on their progress.

#mathstoday I’ve been planning a lesson about quadratics in disguise. What’s your favourite?

#mathstoday starting a new piece of work with Y8 on substituting/rearranging formulae so used one of the brilliant NCETM checkpoints to check for prior understanding. A great resource which I'm trying to add into more lessons!

#mathstoday What do you notice? What do you wonder?

Trying to be more present here and so wanted to share my work in progress padlet on Diversifying the Mathematics Curriculum. I am also keen to come and lead assemblies for students and PD for teachers (free!) on this subject if anyone is interested! padlet.com/sarahdenison...

Really looking forward to the first Cambridge Maths Hub workgroup session on Thursday 28th Nov where we will discuss introducing topics to students, making links to prior knowledge and other concepts. Come and join the discussion!
