Yesterday one of my students made a grid with an emoji to represent how they felt about each question in the do now. I absolutely loved it. Is this the new way to rate their confidence on questions? 😆😲🤭🤗

Did you know...on the sample space race you can change the track length and perform multiple rolls at once. Horse 7 ALWAYS wins...if you make the track long enough. https://t.co/f2GtDwKaJF

🙏🏻 Help please, lovely maths peeps 🙏🏻 Does anyone have an excel (ideally) scheme of work for Edexcel KS4 (following the textbook) which has links to sparx maths codes? Before I go and make one ☺️ thanks.

If anyone has a linear A Level Scheme of Work that they'd be happy to share with me my DMs are open. I'm especially interested if you've put Radians in Y12! @Sheena2907 @karenshancock @mrshawthorne7 @JaggersMaths @sxpmaths @missradders @mrsdenyer @jemmaths @mathsjem

Made revision on coordinates and area and perimeter for year 7 https://t.co/bR4a7Ztuyp

What questions could you ask about islands? Here's one to get things started: What is the smallest possible island that has more land than beach?

Today we’re celebrating Women in Mathematics and honouring Maryam Mirzakhani, Iranian Mathematician and leading expert in geometry and dynamical systems She was the first woman to be recognised for the Fields Medal for her contributions to maths #May12WIM https://t.co/3MwW3wuVzd

This series is really worth a watch- each idea explained clearly with lots of examples by @mrbartonmaths ready to implement in your classroom. Watch out for more coming in the next few weeks! Brilliant ks3 maths questions from @jemmaths @mrshawthorne7 @giftedHKO @MrDraperMaths

I have an interview next week for my dream role as Mathematics Lead Practitioner 😬 any help/advice/suggested interview questions would be very much appreciated 🤞🏼 @mathsjem @StudyMaths @MathematicAlley @mrshawthorne7 @beckyreedmaths @Lucyjc1612

Last week @standupmaths had me join one of his "Evening of Unnecessary Detail" events in New York. I invited @acapellascience to come down and we had a bit too much fun writing a parody of "Ain't No Sunshine" about the twin prime conjecture. https://t.co/0UY3yhFWYS

And so, as with many others, if you fancy coming and working in my department, due to a retirement and growing intake we need a maths teacher for September, so do send me a message if you are based in stoke/staffordshire/Cheshire and fancy a change.(8/8)

7. We need great teachers in the classroom, and although I can’t affect much of the reason we are struggling to recruit and retain, I can be part of the narrative that this profession is great and deserves our time. (7/n)

6. Working from home… it’s not for everyone. This one will be personal to me although jobs like this do seem to be coming up which would appeal to teachers. I do not like staring at a computer for my entire job, I enjoy real conversation, it’s why I teach. (6/n)

5. Community. As a community of maths teachers I feel we have something unique and I love being part of the big conversation. “How do you teach this?” “What resource do you use?” “What’s your favourite topic?” “You’ll never guess what happened in y11 last week...” (5/n)

4. The holidays aren’t bad either! They are needed in a profession which is so intense and for the children too I feel but it’s amazing for me to get to spend all of the school holidays with my own children too, especially while they are young. (4/n)

3. I get to share what I’m passionate about day in, day out. And they pay me for it! Amazing! (3/n)

2. Children are brilliant. There is nothing quite like dealing with teenagers on a daily basis. And although it can be tough, it is so rewarding. There’s no doubting that teachers can make a huge difference to children, it’s a privilege to be part of their childhood. (2/n)

1. Teaching is a wonderful profession. I was lucky to find a some great schools in my career that confirmed this but there are others. And this isn’t a clear cut thing. The perfect school for a colleague may not be the one in which you thrive. #findyourTribe

So, having been hesitant to leave the classroom last September, I am really excited to share that I will be returning to the classroom again!! And, even more excitedly, as an Associate Assistant Head to lead maths at a wonderful school. So why go back?? ⬇️ a thread 🧵…(1/n)
