I am currently reading Mathematical Tasks by Chris McGrane and Mark McCourt. I also follow several UK maths teachers and really enjoy the tasks they share. It makes me wonder about task design - is it part of the teacher training program or just related to who I follow?

This is a great post. Collaboration, not compliance. @samgibbs.bsky.social is doing some incredible work in her trust. Love the idea of double loop learning, I talk about this a lot at work. We need to engage with the beliefs that sit under the actions people take.

A very muggy 23 degrees this morning, so volunteered at #parkrun instead of running today. Will go out later, when it’s cooler, to get my exercise done for the day 💪 Scanned the barcode of lots of people I follow on Strava now, so nice to put a name to a face! #EduRunners

Bill Gates quoted in the FT "for the first time in decades, the number of kids dying around the world will likely go up this year...because of massive cuts to foreign aid". US withdrawing funding from the global vaccine alliance is the latest blow.

This is what #ChatGPT responds when you ask it to 'make a poster for a maths classroom with all the key formulas on it that a student aged 11-14 in the UK might need'. As with most #AI responses, it looks plausible but the more you look, the worse it gets.. What's your (least) favourite part?

A brilliant book from @mrarobbins.bsky.social. A hugely useful guide to anyone involved in helping teachers to develop. Love the clear, practical, examples.
