Maths teachers assemble! 👏 How are you saying cm² out loud? What do you ACTUALLY say? Reposts welcome #mathstoday

#maths teachers - just moved over from Twitter/X (where I am @runningstitch) and need to find you all again! So please follow me or like so I can follow you. Thanks @mathsjem.bsky.social @1stclassmaths.bsky.social @ncetm.bsky.social

I love seeing this supportive and collaborative community growing each year. Might be an even bigger group in East Kent next week. And last week I worked with a group of ten maths leads from special schools and APs.

Spending today with a dozen maths leaders in Andrew Woods safe hands for the first day of Kent & Medway Maths Hub Secondary Subject Leadership Community (West Kent). Big thank you to Maplesden Noakes School in Maidstone for hosting us today.

Ponderance for the day: Maths teachers, do you know/care about the usage of much vs many, less vs fewer, and what vs which? It's not just that the English dept will thank you, they have mathematical significance! Repost and reply, get a discussion going!

Open answer poll: how do you prefer to teach compound measures? Ratio tables, fractions, formula triangles…something else? Reply and repost, get a debate going! #UKMathsChat

Any Kent based teachers here? Would be nice to see who's around #Edusky #UKMathsChat
