For all things Maths, teaching, memes, and Mayo (not necessarily in that order), you're in the right place.

The big question: If you had to pick an all-time greatest-ever starting XI of Mathematical Formulae/ Equations, who would make the cut?

@MsACMoore My sweet summer child, yesterday was a walk in the park for a battle-hardened and world-weary individual like myself. #ErasTour #MayoForSam

[Scoil na nAmadán @NaAmadan]

Paul Mescal signs four year deal with CJ Fallon to become the new face of Bun go Barr. ✨

[Footy Accumulators @FootyAccums]

If Arsenal sign G. Jesus from Man City...

27% of their starting XI next season will be called Gabriel.

This is the kind of stat we all care about.

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

First Maths warm up question to my Dublin pupils tomorrow:

Q: What is 1 minus 1?
A: Division 2.

I'm expecting some backlash. Wish me luck. Yolo.

If anyone wants to replicate my new trim, it's been dubbed a "Blanchardstown Sunset" and is sure to be the hottest haircut this summer 🔥
Well done to all involved, delighted to help a great charity and cause 💰💇

Mr Shortall, Mr Ludden & Mr Brazil allowed TYs to go rogue with their hair this morning! They raised over 400€ for their YSI charity! Thank you to our 3 brilliant participants 💇‍♂️ @IrishNeonatal @YSInow

Cheers for the media plug @Eringobraghgaa , but I'd say the day job is safe enough for now 😂 @WeAreClubforce #lotto #winning

Well done to Ronan Ludden manager, Mathew and Davey U19 footballers who hosted the EGB Lotto this week.
Numbers 12 16 17 and 27.
What a debut for a mayo man, Ronan. He will give Ryan Tubbridy a run for it.#lotto #winning @WeAreClubforce

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

@MsACMoore It would be quite the ambitious crossover. Let me run it by our legal team to get it off the ground, I'd imagine the other departments will have qualms about a Super-Department merging 👊

12/ "Did you know that if you double click the white flag symbol you automatically win the game?"

One student trying a new, (slightly immoral) tactic to win his game. Luckily, his opponent was wise to his mind games.

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

Introducing students to chess and hearing some of their reactions to the game has been one of the most amusing/chaotic things I've done as a teacher. 10/10 would recommend.

11/ "I think my King has done more steps than me today."

This student's opponent was up about 20 points of material, but was taking the scenic route in delivering a checkmate. As a result the opposition King's fitbit was clocking up record numbers.

@MsACMoore Ugh FINE, we'll share. #EnglishIsMathsAnnoyingYoungerSibling #AndStillHasCooties

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

Would like to thank the Statistics page on each #Wordle puzzle in advance for planning my future Statistics revision classes.

Percentages? Line graphs? Mean, mode, and median from a grouped frequency chart? Shape of distribution? Standard deviation?

So. Many. Possibilities.

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

@AidanFitzsimon3 Unashame away, it's a goldmine 🔥Myself and my tutor group are absolutely hooked!

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

@MsACMoore Problem solving. Extrapolating from incomplete data. Trial and error. Maximising probability of success. Deductive reasoning.

Tell me which lesson that description suits better, Maths or English?

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

@MsACMoore Not important now, I was on the wrong side of the 50% chance. Raging. Next time hopefully 🙏

[Ronan Ludden @MrLuddenMaths]

Every time the Probability chapter is introduced, I'm always faced with the misunderstanding that "Since there's two outcomes (either I win or I don't), my chances of winning HAVE to be 50-50."

Today, I will be wholeheartedly subscribing to this train of thought.
