Came across a guy on TikTok who creates tools for teachers. This site is great for creating diagrams. Best one I've come across. Will be using it for lessons and assessments. mathfigures.com E.g. angles on parallel lines in the pictures. @mathsjem.bsky.social #MathsToday

In #MathsToday we were rearranging where factorising is required. I like how the first three are relatively easy, but our answer to "make c the subject" gives us an insight into how we might rearrange for x.

Being English or British means believing in something bigger than yourself. It means standing up for your neighbours. Respecting others. Building communities. Not hiding behind masks and trying to frighten people.

Of course you do.

I had that shade of lipstick once too. #totp

#GCSEResults day offers an important snapshot of achievement. But no snapshot can capture the entirety of an education, or a school's work and the difference teachers make. Good luck to all. #EducationLeadership #SchoolLeadership #UKEducation #GCSE2026 #GCSEs #ClassOf2026

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..

Could we have Madonna back to sing 'Don't cry for me Argentina' - Spain you deserved to win. Spain played football. Not sure what Argentina was playing #SPAARG

I cannot emphasize enough that people need to read. Anything and everything. Read shit you don't understand, read about points you don't agree with, read someone's praise AND criticism of something you love. You cannot stop learning. You cannot get lazy or complacent. Don't let them dumb you down.

#MathsToday (yesterday) I picked a few random numbers out of thin air to make this data set and it turns out you can also get the correct answer from calculating the mean. 🤦‍♀️

Earlier this week all my online Scrabble games resigned me as I hadn’t played for several days. Yesterday I didn’t even complete Wordle. That’s how busy I have been.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Marmite? Love it or Hate it? I'm collecting some (unserious) data for teaching purposes. If you have a spare minute, please fill out this anonymous opinion poll for me: forms.gle/M5C91iQxiWYC... It is a short list of (likely) polarising preference questions.

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

Just got back from seeing The Mandalorian & Grogu at the cinema and my favourite thing is that the legend that is Sigourney Weaver is now a part of the Star Wars family.
