Clocks are changing this weekend and my son fell asleep on the living room floor an hour before bedtime because he is currently getting up at 5am every day 🙈

On using AI to create posters in schools: Don't. The kids can tell (it's obvious), and it's basically just openly saying to them "AI is fine to use for your schoolwork"

In #mathstoday yr 1 #alevelmaths investigated transformations of functions using desmos, yr 2 did geometric sequences and series with some more MWB work continuing with example sheets from mr-mathematics.

The letter I'd like to send to parents ... maths is not fecking genetic... lets stop maths bashing ... one person at a time .. justmaths.co.uk/the-letter-i...

In #mathstoday #Alevelmaths yr 1 did hidden quadratics and filled in the blanks with this resource from Swinton maths, yr 2 found intersections of modulus graphs mostly adapting examples taken from the dr frost slides - my new A3 MWBs, fine tip pens and board rubbers got lots of use 😀

In #MathsToday Yr 2 #AlevelMaths explored modulus functions using this MEI desmos activity. Some good discussions were had and they surprised themselves with how much they could work out. When the lesson ended and they hadn’t quite finished a student told me it was fun and he didn’t want to stop 😀

This inspired me to make something with claude about transformations of the form f(ax+b) Have a play with it here: jammyix.github.io/orderoftrans... (well aware there are many similar versions of this about online with desmos etc, but wanted to see what claude could do)

In #mathstoday yr 1 #alevelmaths did so well with Ab-surd! from underground maths. Didn’t really feel like I had to teach them much, they worked it all out themselves through some great discussions. Yr 2 did some textbook practice on functions, a simple lesson, but very much needed for this group.

In #mathstoday worked on non calculator skills with my higher gcse resitters, rapidly concluding that the mixed ability nature of this group will be the biggest challenge this year, really need to rethink my approach 🤔

In #mathstoday gcse higher resit did all things multiples, factors and prime factorisation, making use of the mathspad interactive tool for factor trees, lots of good discussion about factor pairs vs trees and how we can make sure we don’t miss any factors.

Grateful that most of my classes have assessments tomorrow, unintentional but good timing after a busy weekend with my son’s birthday party 🥳🥱 #teachermum

Yesterday but in #mathstoday yr 2 struggled with inverse functions, graph sketching skills need some work and they struggled to discover the reflection in y=x when sketching by hand. I’ll try desmos next time. Any recommendations on good resources for a quick recap of yr 1 graph sketching?

In #MathsToday, Yr 2 #AlevelMaths had a go at Compose! from Underground Maths. Yr 1 started proof, with the challenge of producing a convincing argument without using algebra, before moving on to more formal proof by deduction.

In #mathstoday yr 2 #Alevelmaths did this domain and range card sort from MEI, lots of opportunity to fill in some gaps in their graph sketching and transformation skills before we moved onto composite functions.

Amazing day out at Mathsworld with my kids today, such a joy to see their love of maths 😊

During first timetabled lesson of the year with a Year 12 Maths class, what do you usually do? #MathsToday

In #mathstoday I had fun with this intro to desmos activity. Thinking of incorporating it into first week of #AlevelMaths lessons, what do you all do in your intro lessons?

Worked at a school where a member of staff had a 0.6 contract over 5 days a week. She didnt teach first or last period so she could do the school run. Do not understand why more schools don't accommodate childcare for members of staff, especially if they're very good

It was an amazing week!! Thank you to all involved!

A reminder that a grade 4 is a standard pass. That doesn't mean grades 1-3 are fails. A fail is less than grade 1. There are students who will be over the moon with a grade 1-3, so let's be mindful of that in the language we use on Thursday. If someone can get the media on board too, even better 😆

On my way to the New to Teaching A level Maths Summer School 😊 #AlevelMaths

⭐ A last-minute opportunity to join our New to Teaching A level Mathematics Summer School this August. With a limited number of places available, now's your chance to take part in four days of expert-led professional learning. 🔗 buff.ly/nc6yhwc #ALevelMaths

If you need a strategy just to take your annual leave, something is wrong.

The first wave of A‑level self‑study resources has landed — perfect for independent revision. First topics now available: • Binomial Distribution • Sine & Cosine Rules • Differentiation — with plenty more topics on the way. Browse the new sets here: southportmaths.co.uk/a-level/

I don’t know much about life. But if I can offer one piece of advice about raising boys it’s this… Don’t chase them. If you need them for something, sit down as if you’re about to enjoy a nice drink. They will find you. If you want some peace, ask them if they want to help you with a job. Gone.

Parenting a child that doesn’t sleep whilst working. A thread.

Anyone else going to this tomorrow? amsp.org.uk/events/highe...

I’m sure there was a post with recommendations for A3 mini whiteboards but now I can’t find it, any suggestions? #AlevelMaths
