Maths Teacher and former RAF Tornado Navigator. I enjoy puzzles, being active/outdoors and spending time with family.

@Kirstymaths Ditto! Was so good to look forward to a few Scroggs calendar puzzle solving dates in the diary. I can't wait for December 2024 already!

All 8 of us left when it didn't improve after 45 minutes, and the bar staff simply replied "well it's disco..." Such a shame when we were looking forward to dancing to some nostalgic tunes from our youth, while celebrating a 40th birthday.

@KomediaBath what's with the 70s disco music tonight...? We came for the advertised 80s 90s and 00s.

There is a recruitment and retention crisis in education.

Half a million children are taught by staff who are not qualified in the subject they are teaching.

We will be taking action for a fully funded pay rise tomorrow.

@MrsDMaths We are thanks, enjoying an Easter break at my parents, Harrison getting truly spoilt! Hope you're doing well too x

[Jen Sparks @Shackers617]

@MrsDMaths Fantastic collection, thank you for putting it together. I'm looking forward to sharing this in my maths department :)

@DrWilkinsonSci @PoppyCocktails I don't understand why he would say he earns £800,000, in the same sentence as saying he's bald, unless he was suggesting he earns that from reselling the shampoo 🤷

@MathCurmudgeon @Ironmuff1888 @aap03102 @mrallanmaths @MrCraigMaths @MissCarrollMath @ConyersMaths @draustinmaths Even quicker method: go to the original version, they're in there.

Talking Maths in Public 2023 is happening! If you are a maths communicator (or maths-adjacent!), then join us 31st Aug-2nd Sep for talks, training and discussions. Our previous events were wildly successful and all sold out. So don't miss out, book now: https://t.co/Q4mq86dBCB

@aap03102 @Mamamakesbooks You should get Elina Braslina to cosine it.

Some #TeacherStrike stuff: a thread that I'll probably add to throughout the day.

[Jen Sparks @Shackers617]

@NicolaMurrayUK Good use of time. Hope your son is well soon!

[Jen Sparks @Shackers617]

@Ayliean Sounds painful. Maybe they'll see you at 2:30.

Sorry no maths fact, but a pun is almost as good.
