These look like a great resource for A level maths: www.alphaworkbooks.co.uk They are closing down, so his books are currently free to download from his website until the website closes. #Alevelmaths

The urge to refill this with iced tea and take it to work

OMG I tried the vegetarian scotch egg at the beer festival and I think I like it even more than the meat one! #cbf2025

More useful shortcuts for typing maths

I wonder if there are people who leave comments of "why don't you just learn Lilypond" under posts where people are discussing tips for MuseScore/Sibelius/Finale (RIP 🙏)

I'm new in town, so hopefully can rebuild my A level Maths network here. I might do a series of posts about my plans for reorganising our Y12 scheme of work... Step 1: post-its! I'd love to hear if anyone has made interesting choices in their sequencing of topics

Maths on holiday. Absolutely stunning #mathsonholiday

I'm very close to putting "you should learn LaTeX" comments on the same blacklist as "you should boycott Kindles"

Absolute failure of a school if someone leaves with this sort of feeling

Wonder how much cheese they sell each year at the #cbf2025

Booked myself a birthday treat and it is so on-brand I can't even 😅

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

they're launching a staff book club at work and I encouraged everyone there to join @thestorygraph.com but it means I had to change my username to something different than this! So DM me if you would like to friend me there, I won't be posting the name in public!

I love it! I "discovered" this when I was in primary but couldn't make any of the other kids play it with me 😅 I remember the teacher did with me once but never again haha, can't blame him!

Why is it OK to boast about being bad at maths? It's National Numeracy Day, functional maths is a key life skill. It's OK to struggle with numbers, but it's worth seeing if you can improve too. Can you answer the question at the end and do take the challenge: www.nationalnumeracy.org.uk/challenge

In light of dire warnings about ExamTok* doing the rounds, does anyone have reputable recommended tiktok creators (apart from the MathsTok* Monarch @hannahkettlemaths.bsky.social) that I can include on a poster I am definitely 100% going to make - look it's on my Gained Task list *I made these up

I should start a blog series on these but cba, so here's today's #GainedTaskIdeas for Maths teachers: learn to be more efficient using MS Equation editor, with this handy guide from our friends at @drfrostresource.bsky.social Link: www.drfrost.org/downloadable...

Today, in honour of #euclid, I sit down with the creator of www.euclidea.xyz . Easily my favourite #recreationalmaths game Play the game, love the game, hate the game then wonder how it was made. After that emotional rollercoaster, join me on my podcast to listen to the creator share all. #mathsky

Some really very important points in this mini-thread reply on the topic of everyone in a dept teaching the same methods 🧵

I have just figured out tags in outlook. Somehow it never occurred to me to tag the level of action required. Much improved workflow incoming.

I'm at beerfest, I've got cheese and cider and Higher Paper 1 to entertain myself with. It must be the final week before half term! Happy Tuesday everybody @cambeerfest.bsky.social #cbf2025
