I'll be at @mathsworld.com on Tuesday 26th May for another 'MathsWorld Lates' event - talking (and singing - fair warning) about the *Sound of Silence*. Some the maths of music and why it's a fun & messy interaction between artistic & mathematical intuition. mathsworld.com/events/Sound...
MathsWorld is an interactive discovery centre in London with innovative hands-on exhibits that explore the beauty, wonder, and everyday relevance of mathematics for visitors of all ages.

Happy International Day of Women in Mathematics!! Here is our webpage with lots of info about encouraging girls to continue with maths post-16 so they can be the future women in maths! Also see my pinned post on diversifying the curriculum which has lots of resources. amsp.org.uk/teachers/equ...
Encouraging girls' participation - AMSP
Many factors can influence a student's decision to choose post-16 maths, including gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic.

Hello Maths Teachers, can anyone help me find a set of worksheets/booklets for the Edexcel Entry Level Certificate for refugee children in my school? I a set for level 1 would be amazing to have a set for level 2 and 3 that they can work through. @mathsjem.bsky.social - would so appreciate a shout!
Me in a giant bubble at the @mathsworld.com London official launch party last night! The new, fabulous, mathematical museum in London
Recently I was playing with the Square-Sums Puzzle (as explored previously by @standupmaths.bsky.social on Numberphile) and realised it would be fun for schools. So here is a FREE teacher resource: think-maths.co.uk/square-sums (and enjoy its use being modelled by my in-house mathematician below).

Finally got round to trying to book appt to donate blood, to discover I can't donate blood because I had a blood transfusion a couple of years ago (which, ironically, is what prompted me to donate blood). Wishing I'd done it more times before. Someone else do it for me!
We’ll have a selection of panels as part of the #TMiP25 conference, including one on careers in maths with @zoelgriffiths.bsky.social, Dominique Sleet and @acescicomm.bsky.social, sharing their comms career journeys. Tickets at talkingmathsinpublic.uk

I give you the earth (the tiny marble), Jupiter (the ball), the Sun (modelled as a disc, the table), and my son (not to scale), as a result of him coming home from nursery singing a song with lyrics 'our Earth is greater than the Sun'.
Packing up the pi-zes! The results are in! www.think-maths.co.uk/pi-results-25
Help needed! UK state school teachers: which week will you have your summer maths internal assessments for KS3 this year?
I've talked about maths in worse places. Very much enjoying my little 2/3 day break. Some lovely work, and some lovely exploring.
