So, I'm not saying I need the holidays for the good of my health, but this graph is definitely saying that 😅🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

Hi!! Apologies if you know this,what improved my bluesky experience was to create notifications for my favourite contributors.Look for this button on their profile and then set it so you get a notification when people post.I now live in my notifications, only going to the "home" when I want a change

I know it's the holidays, but I any suggestions for a new KS4 resource? Currently use Pearson Active Learn, but we all end up finding alternative questions, as insufficient skills building questions. We liked the style of good old-fashioned Rayner books from the 1990s. Any recommendations? 🙏
Been getting my life admin sorted this week (car MOT/service, etc) Today's clever decision was to have the issues with my central heating/boiler pressure dropping investigated, on a day when it's about 28°C 🥵🔥 (To be fair, it wasn't as hot as this when I made the appointment 😅)
York Minster advertising its ticket price as "6p per visit" is my current favourite example of creative maths 😅
I wonder whether John Healy will get called, "John From Accounts" or whether that name was exclusively reserved for Rachel Reeves because she is a woman.
I believe someone posted some helpful links for students sitting ESAT, but can't find them now. Anyone have some suggestions?-- asking as a parent, not a teacher (for a change!) Thanks
One of the things I want to improve with as an #ALevelMaths teacher is my knowledge of #physics in order to teach mechanics without just saying "it's magic, right?!" Any recommendations of introductory books/texts for this?
Morning all. There is an account called "Rob Southern fan" using a picture of Jack Brown as it's profile pic that's reposting and commenting on lots of my posts. I've blocked the account and would appreciate you doing the same. 🙂
I don't know if anyone needs to hear this, but if you're single and considering booking a solo trip, you should absolutely do it if you can. It's low-key terrifying at first (and second, and third...), but also very liberating to get to explore places completely on your own schedule 😊
How closely related are the Pearson that does SATs, the Pearson that does A Levels, and the Pearson that does university admissions tests? Just wondering how worried to be about them messing up the SATs results release... #MathsToday
Spent ages searching TES for a mixed topic end of year quiz. Full of grifters charging £5 for dubious looking quality. If you want one, I made one. Yours for free, yours to use (unless you’re in my school!) www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0qqgn... Happy summer, my lovelies.

For the first time, the World Cup final four teams includes only the top 4 teams in FIFA world rankings (1+2+3+4). The combined ranks of the last four teams couldn't be lower (10). In the past, the four last teams have always added up to over 25. HT @chartycharts
Year 2 Edexcel A Level further maths… point me towards resources that aren’t booklets or books please! I love @draustinmaths.com stuff and have a few Integral resources, but can’t find much else. Please and thank you. #alevelmaths #mathstoday #furthermaths
Just looking through this year's thank you cards from students before I put them away in a safe place. I've not quite reached the age of teaching the kids of people I've taught yet, but I am at the point where my former students are now teachers who have taught my current students! ❤️ #MathsToday
The tidiest my classroom ever looks is this one day of the year, the last day before the summer holidays, when the students have gone and half of my colleagues have taken a day off in lieu. I have an annual tidying frenzy, then that's it for another year 😂
Feel like some of us should pronounce it "Bin-fa-SAY" as a bit
Good luck with the staying up late to watch the match, y'all. Hope they win! 🏴 I genuinely cannot think of a single thing that I would stay up until 3am on a work night for nowadays... 😅😴

Do you think someone at FIFA went on Bluesky and was like, "Oh, no! We must think of the year 6 to 7 transition days! A 1am kick off will simply not do!" 😆 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
World Cup 2026: England vs Mexico set to be rescheduled to 7pm kick-off time due to storm threat

Had a brilliant few days at the @meimaths.bsky.social conference 😄 Attended some thought-provoking sessions, and put some real faces to online names. Kind of feel like I've been on holiday, even though it was for work 😎 Have also come away with a pretty impressive merch haul! #meiconf26 #ALevelMaths
Right maths teachers. In #mathstoday I am planning a problem solving SoL for KS3 using one lesson per fortnight of our extra timetable time. Think ICCAMS/ NRich/ Improving Learning in Maths - that kind of vibe. I’m doing ok but have spare sessions. Hit me with your fave tasks please! RT 🙏🏻

#MathsToday #AlevelMaths is anyone aware of any specific practical applications for the central limit theorem? I was asked by a student. Thanks
Nice #CoreMaths lesson there... 1) Explain why £9K to £99K *isn't* a 900% increase 2) Work out the original cost of the house when adjusted for inflation 3) Work out the AER on the investment over 33 years 4) Do a Fermi estimation of how much money is wasted by people buying the Daily Mail each year
So it turns out the massive scandal here is that Bridget Phillipson's mum bought a council house for £9k in 1990 and then sold it *33 years* later for £99k. That's the entire story
It is incredibly hot in my classroom, but it's the last day of teaching for us and my #ALevelMaths further maths students have not disappointed in their quiz team name and mascot choices #MathsToday
Remind me again why the AI guys are all billionaires? 🤔🙄
The more you stare at this, the worse it gets. Going to ask students how many faults they can find with it!
