What do the traitors do outside of Thursday and Friday? Is there a live stream we can watch?
Absolutely: having a mental model of x, x2, 3x etc is the biggest barrier to algebra progress and substitution with algebra tiles is an excellent way to help.
Sam Blatherwick@blatherwicksam.bsky.social · last mo.finally, I agree that we shouldnt stray far from numbers, which is why I think the first lessons should be around using them for substitution and the x-bar being exchanged for numbers

Vast data centres are using up massive amounts of resources and disrupting local communities. And the government doesn’t have a plan for how to deal with them. Tell the government to get a grip on data centres. @friends-earth.bsky.social foe.uk/38h0y
Stop data centres draining our precious resources
Add my name Data centres are springing up all over the UK – using massive amounts of electricity and, in many cases, huge amounts of water. The UK is already facing water shortages, high energy demand...

Competition for degree apprenticeships quadruples in three years
The popularity of degree apprenticeships has grown as the cost of university has come under increased scrutiny.

If I wanted to protect the most prestigious and highly paid jobs for the social groups who usually hold them I'd probably design an education system that discouraged poorer children from studying the entry qualifications for these jobs as early as possible..
Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂
I wonder how many of Trump’s inner circle just made billions betting on the oil price?
These are all brilliant. What a great category and what is it about great vocal performances rather than great songs that doubles the emotion? It’s more human I suppose? Someone clever make a playlist please!
Ben Newmark@bennewmark.bsky.social · 5mo ago#FridayFive Greatest vocal performances. 1. Axl Rose. Sweet Child 'o Mine. 2. Sinead 'O Conner. Nothing Compares 2U. 3. Freddie Mercury. Bohemian Rhapsody. 4. David McAlmont. Yes. 5. Without You. Mariah Carey.
Why is it OK for Burnham to run for Makerfield but it wasn’t OK the last time he asked? He’s still mayor. What are the NEC’s reasons here? @samfr.bsky.social ?
I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.
Dear UK. What the hell are you doing? Let me know soonest. Kind regards. A sane person.
Increasingly annoyed at the way employers treat young people. Following an interview, literally nothing, not even a “thanks for coming but we picked someone else”. The best my 19yo has had was an email from head office after an interview, saying, “thanks for applying but the post is now filled”
Where are we with Trump and his Nobel Prize, anyone know?

The government will interview the young people and their parents before and after they try the limits to assess their impact.

That men’s half pipe judging looked a bit odd @samfr.bsky.social ?
For me this translates (in part) as “who we are teaching”. It’s half of the puzzle. The other half is, “how much can they learn next?”
Stuart Lock@stulock.bsky.social · 9mo agoThe primary variable, afaik, should be 'what they already know'.
What is laughable is that for decades we have been stuck on ‘what to teach’ and ‘how to teach’ and not ‘who are we teaching’.
They should hold a Winter Olympics for the summer events. It’d be amazing. Imagine watching the 110m hurdles in 3ft of snow, or the 50m butterfly on a frozen lake.
