This is I's recording of her throwing a dice. She realised she'd done far too many to represent 6...she looked carefully and copied 3 and 3 as she self corrected. Brilliant mathematical mark making in fs this morning @Manor_Wood_Pri

It was about time I got back to writing blog posts: In this, I talk about how we make more of those student ideas and questions that aren't in our anticipated direction for the lesson. #InquiryMathematics

@Tom_Ruen @Simon_Gregg @ZelligeApp It can be interpreted as a truncated hexagonal tiling with the dodecagons dissected, but it can also be interpreted as a weirder tiling involving equilateral triangles, squares, and irregular pentagons.

Oh wow, we can make a dodecagon! That means we can tile a plane like this too. #beingmathematical

@PardoeMary @ProfSmudge Dodecagons with these. Each 'layer' would be twice the area of the one before.

I like how these triangles are kind of jumbled, but have a kind of order too.

The Rogers–Ramanujan identities are themselves an intriguing thing. Just looking at them with Cuisenaire rods, here for ten:

Hussein Mourtada: "You need to be honest with yourself to be a mathematician. Otherwise, it doesn’t work." That's an intriguing statement. Interesting article too.
Hussein Mourtada, a mathematician in Paris, spent over a decade studying statements that came to a young Indian mathematician in a dream more than 100 years ago. The research yielded new ways to inspect special points called singularities. https://t.co/74mUxP4IFP

Brilliant how @Joolone creates the conditions for mathematical play and creativity in his nursery. Read about the cycles of study made accessible by study boxes and rugs (open-access article): https://t.co/fPwU5otGF2
Have you read the open-access article in MT293 available for all to read?- The Montessori cycle of activity and learning in mathematics - Study Rugs by Julian Swindale.

The students like to explore all the tools on the whiteboard - like drawing with lines and squares

This 4-year old student told me, with the Numberblocks, that 4+2=6. I said I would write that for him, but he wanted to have a go at writing it. 🤩
