@POferriesupdate I have a ferry booking for 12 pm Tuesday 22nd July from Cairnryan to Larne. What will happen if you cancel this sailing? I have a hotel booked in Northern Ireland

@mathsjem We have the same issue with the Scottish Maths curriculum!

[Julie Rocks @MrsRocksMaths]

@suzi0207 I agree the unit assessments for these are far too challenging. I feel that N4 Maths is as good a prep for N5 Apps with the area/volume/circle/Pythagoras/gradient/statistics topics

It’s the season for Christmas doors 😁. Organising this has been a lovely (but busy) distraction in the school this week #christmasmaths

[Julie Rocks @MrsRocksMaths]

Had a great discussion today with one of the Science teachers on supporting pupils with maths/numeracy skills and how concrete resources can help. Having acquired a STEM grant from ES has enabled further sharing of my Maths Balance programme. TY 😁@edscot_maths @STEMedscot
