Free online treasure hunt? Are you young at heart and enjoy a puzzle, or maybe want to get your students problem solving. Why not try this new resource: https://t.co/ratkFBrBcS Select WQuest kids. Or if you really fancy a challenge and a prize... the other option.

I while ago, (post #strangerthings) I got the idea to make my kids (6 and 8) a D&D game. If it looks like fun for your kids, please play! Let me know if they enjoyed it. Full game manual and printables on my website: https://t.co/nCO8qVtsE8 (Google doc link there) #dnd

@MsLECHistory @adamboxer1 You've just got to practice. A month in and your writing will be fine. I'd recommend a wacom drawing tablet. Great for maths.

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@adamboxer1 Wacom tablet is cheaper than a visualiser. Cannot say this enough. It's not the same, but it's brilliant.

@toppsta @ameliatait @HachetteKids I would love to catch the mathematicians of ancient Greece!

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@adamboxer1 Haha I would love this. But too much responsibility for most students I've taught.

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@rpondiscio @apease Isn't the respect and reverence something that could be achieved by paying teachers much more. Elevating their societal position to change the current culture. Culture has a lot to answer for in terms of teaching problems.

In case anyone is still checking Twitter...

Here's something I've been working quite hard on recently:
https://t.co/y57u4b0N6g

A Maths game featuring:
- two-player and single-player modes
- 50+ topics across KS3-KS5

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@MathstuitionY DM me and I can send a link.

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

Please can anyone send me an EDUQAS Higher Maths Paper 1 from yesterday? Our exams team are not at a point to find me a spare yet and want to try and analyse before Monday! #help #exams #mathsexams #gcsemaths #eduqas

[P. A. Wilson @PAWilsonwriter]

@AuthorGFAllen For me, that's Brandon Sanderson

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@marcmaths @larrylemonmaths My question also. Surely if it's made nice and low stakes it's not at all. I do 8 questions at the beginning of all my foundation lessons, they are often the part I feel students are most engaged in. I make it clear they are low stakes.

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@daisychristo Would love to see some pictures of old responses!

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@MathstuitionY Remind me Monday morning. Will need to do it from work laptop etc.

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@JH_Maths I think the split screen is great. And annotate function.

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

Thank you to anyone who read. I now have a copy :-)

[Mr Payne @Tom_does_maths]

@mathladyhazel May show this to mine. But that also means I need to make sure I can do the second one first!
