The MEGA Grant is a bursary scheme for mathematical engagement activities organised by @standupmaths.bsky.social Matt Parker - and applications for this year's MEGA Grant are now open. Do you have a large-scale interactive maths activity idea? Details at http://talkingmathsi...

I do love my Herd of Nerds 😍 @missradders.bsky.social @edsouthall.bsky.social @drrowlandson.bsky.social

It would be lovely to work with you if you would like to see how these resources could help you and your school #maths

A new half term means a new mathematician for the booklet cover pages πŸ˜„

Playing with Autograph ahead of a TFM2 session last week and it is lovely. I am starting a collection of online graphical tools πŸ˜‚

This thread is a lot of fun 😍

Sarah Hart (@sarah-hart.bsky.social) my actual maths hero 😍

Saw the absolutely amazing #DearEvanHansen with my children today and my goodness I appear to have grown 3 literal adults 😱

New blog - for #CoreMaths teachers in particular. A couple of cool Excel features that I am finding helpful at the moment. www.cambridgemathshub.co.uk/post/excel-l... (And I guess this is my #MathsToday too!) @coremathscat.bsky.social

MEI are on BlueSky!!! bsky.app/profile/meim...

Hi there! πŸ‘‹ We're #HerMathsStory + want to empower women through stories & blog entries to pursue studies and careers in maths, spark their curiosity + transmit enthusiasm for technical subjects on an informative, non-judgemental, honest, motivating + enjoyable platform. #introduction #womeninmaths

Just waiting at the dentist and someone asked the receptionist a question. Her response was a very polite "I'm not confident on that subject so will pass on to someone who is". If only more people could be so honest!

Randomly burst a blood vessel in my eye so decided to colour match my jumper with my new horror show eye πŸ˜‚

In the car my son (16, super maths fan, dancer) was saying it felt easier to lift another dancer when they were already moving. "So then I started thinking about mechanics and think I have proved it *talks through long and involved calculations*" Love it when his worlds collide 😍 #MathsToday

@themathsbazaar.bsky.social you always know about calculators - any idea where I can get the best price on CG50 and advanced Classwiz? Both my children need calculators which is unhelpful πŸ˜‚

This will be awesome!

If you're looking for ideas for integrating student use of technology into #ALevelMaths there are worksheets on the MEI website for - Autograph: mei.org.uk/resource/642... Casio: mei.org.uk/resource/df8... Desmos: mei.org.uk/resource/b25... GeoGebra: mei.org.uk/resource/843...

Has anyone created a document with useful things you can do with the CG50 for A level Maths and/or A Level Further Maths please? I know individual things can be looked up but feels like it would be useful for me to have things listed in relation to the spec. Thanks 😁

In #CoreMaths #MathsToday we were finding confidence intervals. Used a couple of nice questions from Integral to discuss the validity of a claim using a confidence interval.

Also a big thanks to @acescicomm.bsky.social for helping with these. I still plan to produce more so will update when I do!
