With the ability to share and listen to ideas being so important in maths, as in every classroom, we’re wearing purple today. #dldawarenessday

The above image was shamelessly stolen from the best graphic novel about mathematicians and engineers I’ve ever read...

Okay people, it’s a new educational year. Reboot the machine, Ada Lovelace.

Ruth, here at Longley, organised a Pi competition. Correct entries drawn from a hat for staff and students. I won the staff socks. These are amazing!

Rob Eastaway gave a great talk this afternoon on the importance of feeling free to make mistakes in maths, including in this primary school homework that's sparked a lot of debate.

It's Pi Day! Okay, I know we have to use the American date format, but that's no excuse not to celebrate pi. Don't worry, 14.3. You're important too, and when I want the median of 14.2 and 14.4, I'll choose you. But do you tell us how many diameters fit round a circumference?

Here's an amazing thread about the resting position of icebergs. Try the 'draw-your-own iceberg' activity! Under it all, you can feel the maths at work... https://t.co/2OuoGcJQMT https://t.co/muU7jncmeU

[Megan Thompson-Munson @GlacialMeg]

Today I channeled my energy into this very unofficial but passionate petition for scientists to start drawing icebergs in their stable orientations. I went to the trouble of painting a stable iceberg with my watercolors, so plz hear me out.

This promises to be interesting. I love people exploring maths and art/literature as a single topic. Flatland blew my mind. https://t.co/X6OGXTiDkT

Really enjoyed listening to @TimHarford this morning as part of the #CoreMaths Winter Festival. My daughter thought he used his eyebrows well.

I’ve been pumpkin carving with the kids. One of us is a maths teacher.

In a week when, for many, maths is about revising for an exam, it’s lovely to see an event happening to show it’s so much more. I’ll be watching this Friday.

[24 Hour Maths @24hmaths]

This Friday and Saturday, mathematicians and magicians (and mathemagicians) from all over the internet will come together to put on a 24-hour Maths Magic Show, live on YouTube. Visit https://t.co/DvHVRIqfhv for more details, and follow here for updates!

[Maths @ Longley Park @LongleyMaths]

This is interesting, too. https://t.co/jUtj7TPmsW

How to revise for GCSE maths? Do some maths! Little and often is best. 30 mins or an hour a day.

[Maths @ Longley Park @LongleyMaths]

@MrJohnRowe @openmiddle I enjoyed this today. I’ve chatted to a few people recently revising for their Nov GCSE resit who would benefit from a go at this.

[John Rowe 👨🏽‍🚀 @MrJohnRowe]

Here's a little @openmiddle problem I made, which is easy to start and challenging to finish. #MTBoS #iTeachMath

Is a curve just a collection of straight lines? I’m still not sure, but I did get this as a present.

A new term has begun, so I’ve organised the pencils. (Copied from George Hart’s 72 pencils. Who says art and maths don’t mix?)
