@HananSonya I’ve taken Digutal Leaders to the Bett Show and get them to find things to pitch to SLT. Plus the stands pay so much attention to children they will have a great day out.

@StudyMaths @Kieran_M_Ed I have some ideas on using them regarding relationships and patterns, but any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

[John Sullivan @Johnnyfoxtrot]

Going through old cupboards discovering maths resources. I thought I’d found a miniature dienes blocks set. Have you seen these before @Kieran_M_Ed ?

Hello @CatherineSAT21 I am trying to find a way to find a simple method for younger children to login to Microsoft teams. Have you got any suggestions? Thx

@Kieran_M_Ed @Suchmo83 @Mr_AlmondED @winderley I got a similar response from ChatGPT and Google Bard. Many thanks for looking into it. I’ll go down the route of looking for guidance in that practice.

Dear world of edutwitter. Can anyone point me towards any research which has been done on flexible seating/desk less classrooms. @Suchmo83 @Mr_AlmondED @Kieran_M_Ed @winderley 🙏

@MarcusRashford #inspirational

[Kent College Pembury @KentCollegePemb]

KC minibuses are named after individuals our pupils find inspiring. Not difficult to see why Marcus Rashford one of these! Especially today as Prep pupils had a football coaching session as part of a #WorldCup2022 tournament running across the Prep School. #MarcusRashford

KC Prep have been getting in the Christmas spirit already and this morning our Head Girls from Year 6, along with Headteacher Mrs Hall, visited Pimms Christmas Tree Farm to choose the perfect tree. We can't wait to decorate it! To find out more about KC Prep, see our website.

@jimmy9 @felixwhite @itsmattchin @gregjames further controversy to the cheese on toast debate. #tailendersoftheworlduniteandtakeover

[MsZYounis @MsZYounis1]

Nothing makes better cheese on toast than the air fryer!

What's your favourite air fryer recipe?
Maybe we need a new #edutwitter air fryer cook book @DeputyGrocott!

@TeachMrN @WhiteRoseMaths @gareth_metcalfe @Doug_Lemov The confidence they gain from these tasks and the risks they take have a positive effect on their Maths learning in other sessions.

[John Sullivan @Johnnyfoxtrot]

@TeachMrN @WhiteRoseMaths @gareth_metcalfe When I do these tasks, or problem solving sessions. I try to get the sessions going quickly with simple maths that all can access. I choose appropriate moments to stop and have discussions. Using questioning techniques from @Doug_Lemov ‘s Teach like a champion. This usually

[John Sullivan @Johnnyfoxtrot]

@TeachMrN @WhiteRoseMaths @gareth_metcalfe @Doug_Lemov Gives me good feedback and informs me where I’m needed to support, scaffold, extend etc. I also like to give chn the opportunity to share their findings and present. TBH I like these sessions as they bring some variety to maths lessons and make it fun, engaging and achievable.
