My reading for July, according to @thestorygraph.com: slow but steady again! Two books finished, one started, and three in progress. #Books #Reading

What e-reader should I get to replace my kindle? Main criterion - NOT Amazon. Ideally e-ink style, not a backlit screen. Ideally able to read library books from Libby/Borrowbox.

The History and Mathematics in Education Network (HaMiEN) exists to connect people with some sort of experience or interest in: - History OR¹ - Mathematics AND - Exploring mixing the two to enrich classroom experiences in both. historyand.mathsy.space ¹ this is an inclusive 'OR'!

I've added mine and @robeastaway.bsky.social 's upcoming appearance at British Congress of Mathematics Education's #BCME10 conference in October to the #HaMiEN's events page: historyand.mathsy.space/events Should be fun! #History #Maths #MathsToday

The History and Mathematics in Education Network's (#HaMiEN) website has had a pretty substantial update. I'm not much of a web designer, but I think it's a bit easier to find what you want, and there are some more useful features including a filterable resource list!

If any Norfolk teachers, librarians or school support staff are interested, I'm restarting the East Norfolk Teachers' Reading Group in September. Please get in touch for further details and do share with colleagues.

I went to see the latest instalment of Matt Damon Gets Stuck Somewhere this evening, and I have to say I really rather enjoyed it. #film #MattDamon

Want to see me hugging an artistic elephant? Keep an eye on this post and its replies and you might just get to see me do exactly that not once but TWELVE TIMES! #art #MK #ElmerMK

For both people who enjoy my aperiodic #ViewFromAHotelWindow series, here's part some of many! Plus a bonus image: it was one of _those_ situations (I was in room 16).

Mostradileonardo.com Any of you teachers searching for the perfect place for your A level Maths trip? This place is great! You might have a hard time persuading your school to let you go to Rome, but it's an amazing interactive museum with lots of Mechanics in action 😀

A load of elephants have appeared in Milton Keynes, and this one appears to be paying tribute to my book*! *Yes, I know it's not really about my book... Search for "Elmer's Art Parade Milton Keynes.

Our classic #DrWho journey sees us almost at the end of 3rd Doctor story Inferno: an absolutely batshit but thoroughly enjoyable fever-dream of entirely unexplained monsters & a completely left-field trip into a parallel universe complete with dark versions of the main cast. Terrific stuff!

At long last it's release date for Christopher Nolan's Odyssey! What a journey it's been, waiting for that!

I'm on a London Northwestern Train and, as per, it is delayed. It's at the departure station, but we're waiting for staff. The projected delay is 150% of the projected journey time.

I don't use LLMs that much, but occasionally ask a question just to see what happens. A few minutes ago I asked Google's search AI something about T-shirt printing and it decided, for reasons that escape me, to provide the entire response in Simplified Chinese.

So you know those T-shirts with periodic tables on them, and the caption "I wear this T-shirt periodically"? Well I had an idea for a T-shirt that's *48% more nerdy* than that! www.spreadshirt.co.uk/shop/design/... #Maths #Nerdy #MathsToday

Don't get me wrong: A Knight's Tale is a great movie! It has its issues, though. One of which is that Jocelyn is *horrible*.

What's that? Reform's grifter-in-chief is capitalising on someone's death again? You do surprise me.

Throwback to an our LLME Day 3 with @teakayb.mathsy.space We explored the history of maths and considered whether children might develop a deeper understanding of maths by learning it alongside its history. Fascinating session full of big questions and fresh perspectives! #LLME #MathsEducation

Hey #ITeachMath where did this quote (or similar) come from first? “We are not all teachers of mathematics but we are all teachers of mathematics attitudes.”

I saw The Last Viking at the cinema last night. As a foreign language (Danish) film it's likely to be overlooked by many in the English speaking market so it's worth saying it was very good! Funny, dark occasionally violent, but also heartwarming. Well worth a watch!

Museum educators do this all the time and it is as good as it sounds.

A surprisingly sad occasion: I bought this umbrella when caught in the rain on campus during my undergrad degree some time between 2001-2004. It was finally beaten by high winds a couple of months ago, but sentiment has kept me from throwing it away until now. #Umbrellaellaella
