Just been catching up with some Winter Olympics curling. It was fun to see how the referees determine close call decisions by using the same method as KS3 students do in this task about constructions on @oaknational.bsky.social #mathstoday #mathschat

Excitingly, Today's the opening day of MathsWorld, the new hands-on maths museum in London. I've really enjoyed visiting MathsCity in Leeds, but they've now got a London location too! Details at mathsworld.com

When you're a maths teacher with a baby, your friends know what to buy for them.

🎞️ They don’t seek the spotlight, but they shape the future of maths every day. As another academic year ends, we want to celebrate EVERYONE across the 40 Maths Hubs who has worked tirelessly to make the programme a continuing success 👏 #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat

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

Calling all Maths teachers! What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths? Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks... ... or just ones you really like. (see some of mine below)

Any schools don't have a full maths department for September or have teachers from other subjects teaching maths might find the programme below helpful. 👇🏻 It's fully funded training for non-specialist teachers of maths, supporting them to teach maths confidently and in depth. #ukmathschat

Over the last couple of months I have been watching - Expertly designed and led PD - With out-of-field maths teachers 'growing' their identity as mathematician, - Become even better at teaching students who need maths teachers the most. So important that these programmes externally evaluated. (1/n)

Properties of quadrilaterals with Y8. They sort of know this all already but it still always seems like a bit of a slog! Today we did everything on this hierarchical diagram rather than as a list, which I hope made it seem more logical. #MathsToday

With around 1 in 8 KS3 maths lessons being taught by non-specialists, it's vital we support them 📹 Step inside a real Work Group to hear how Maths Hubs are helping non-specialist teachers thrive #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTk5...

The @ncetm.bsky.social has a fabulous #SKTMSecondaryNonSpecialistTeacherProgramme for anyone teaching mathematics outside of their specialism. This video featuring @kandmmathshub.bsky.social captures it perfectly. @j9allen.bsky.social @garethshadick.bsky.social www.ncetm.org.uk/news/inside-...

Teaching maths without a specialist background? You’re not alone. 🎥 In our new video, teachers explain how the Secondary Non-specialist Teachers SKTM Programme has boosted their classroom confidence (and more!) #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat

Last year I made this power point it shows the key calculator buttons on the two Casio’s new and old next to each other. Might be useful in the coming week. docs.google.com/presentation...

More Y9 trig #MathsToday: we ditched the tables in favour of drawing multipliers directly onto the triangles. This lesson went pretty well! Still just using sin and cos, and today I kept everything in one orientation as well.

We’re celebrating National Numeracy Day in style with the installation of new exhibits in our Code Breaking and Our Chaotic Earth collections! Be the first to see them this May half term alongside our curve stitching activities! #NationalNumeracyDay

I have recently co-authored two research papers based on the work for my doctoral thesis. It develops on previous cognitive science research about interleaving, while focusing specifically on secondary school mathematics. #cogsci #maths 🧵👇 (1/n)

Y7 #MathsToday: how would you convince someone these two shapes have the same area?

This is such an interesting podcast series. It's full of lovely stories about working in Special Ed and useful takeaways for teaching maths to students with SEND.

You might not know yet who’ll teach KS3 maths next year but if it could be a non-specialist, the SKTM Programme is worth a look 👀 Fully-funded PD to ensure maths teaching that improves outcomes 💪 #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat

🤔Just how do you evaluate something as complex as maths PD? Short answer: not very easily. But we're going in! 💪 Find out more, as we discuss why we're doing it and how it could shape the future of Maths Hubs' work. 🎧 Go to www.ncetm.org.uk/podcasts/eva... or via your podcast app #UKMathsChat

🔮 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

Really nice post, I like all the possible extensions. I did the 30°-60°-90° right triangle in this post... but you provide the proof in yours, thanks! #iTeachMath #MathsToday #geometry karendcampe.wordpress.com/2020/05/26/e...

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...

New blog post: Posing Problems with Paper-Folding ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2025/03/16/p... It looks at how a single paper-folding activity can be used in various ways by supplementing it with different questions. #mathschat #MathEdChat

In #mathstoday (well, yesterday) I began my journey with Y10 towards further trig, specifically the sine rule, via circle theorems after being inspired by Don Steward (donsteward.blogspot.com/2012/04/sine...). This meant a lesson on constructions and thinking about centers of triangles. Great fun!

This is such great advice for anyone who is applying for teaching jobs! 👇🏻 Thanks for sharing @mathsjem.bsky.social
