@nathanday314 @StudyMaths oh and if you know the top sum is a + 3b + 3c + d of bottom then you've got binomial expansion right there

@nathanday314 @StudyMaths but in my photo we did the top row first and we spotted the cubes - I should have pointed out the cubes were the sum of the ratio, for the row underneath we should have started with the cube at the top and done splitting into the ratio... this is my thinking about how i'd adapt

[Sam Blatherwick @blatherwick_sam]

@nathanday314 here's an image

[Sam Blatherwick @blatherwick_sam]

@nathanday314 oh that's cool - I was doing something like generalising 2 with the class after this but I was introducing it as "I've got this new rule and any two blocks side by side need to be in the ratio 1:2"

now I've been thinking about how I'd do this again and this is a thought

[Sam Blatherwick @blatherwick_sam]

@MathsNot good article

LDS is not fit for purpose.

[Sam Blatherwick @blatherwick_sam]

there was a resource that I'm sure was @MrCowardMaths where it had converting between fractional index form and power/root form... anyone got a link?

[Sam Blatherwick @blatherwick_sam]

As the new school year dawns... do you want to develop your curriculum thinking at A-level? Join the workgroup I'm leading... (happy to answer an Qs people may have!)

@WeAreTheOverlap @draper_rob @jonawils love the show etc.

[Sam Blatherwick @blatherwick_sam]

@WeAreTheOverlap @draper_rob @jonawils however I'm struck that in the episode you say spice boys because the spice girls were a big pop group at the time, -yet- the fa cup final proceeds spice girls first single, so presumably the moniker was later applied when looking back at that final?
