Geeking out over maths, Star Wars or a spreadsheet.

@AQAMaths I’d love to but twitter says I can’t! I’ve followed you please could you try messaging me?

@AQAMaths looking at “thinking behind great assessment” and trying to work out the difference between E and R marks - could you help?

@TeacherTapp - did I imagine it or did we get asked which subject we most regret not studying? If I’m not losing my marbles, any chance you could remind me of the outcome? Thank you!

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@ajk_44 You’re an inspiration. Previously ‘just’ for improving the standard of maths teaching across the UK and beyond, now also for helping raise awareness of something which somehow still has an element of taboo to it.

@jemmaths Great article. The idea of pre-planning when your assessment will be, what it will look like and most crucially what it will *do*, really should not be news for those who claim to understand education. Sadly, ....

@BareauMaths @onechriswhite @mathsjem Currently trying to get a ‘FM only’ Maths class due to prerequisites issues. Longer term I would like to make it like @BareauMaths describes as the opportunity to retake Maths is powerful for some. Funding prob needs to be a discussion re: likely U grade in those cases.

@DrWilkinsonSci @TeacherTapp Worked at a school that set up a 3-class sized space and within a year built stud walls to create separate spaces. 4 years later, tried the trick again with a 6-class space. You don’t need three guesses do you?

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@TeacherTapp what was with today’s question on non-specialist teaching load? No “0” option - do tutor time or PSHE count in this or am I the only lucky enough to just teach my subject? 😳

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

This is some top rate geekery, very impressive! https://t.co/LawuK6NFws

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@miss_mcinerney @TeacherTapp Thank you for your hard work, it’s making me think a lot more about what assumptions I’ve made down the years. And confirming a few too!

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@TeacherTapp this article is amazing. Where do you find the time to dig out all these things? https://t.co/68nULvaQqG

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

This resonates so strongly - the training, experiences, and abilities of a team of teachers must always be taken into account before deciding on structure. Had that exact argument with a HT who enforced mixed ability and PBL on a dept - Ofsted Inadequate with SM followed. https://t.co/j2IKusiaz5

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@mrbartonmaths @SecEd_Education Yes! Surely there are more of us?

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@ClimateOutreach Thanks! Completely agree that there’s a high desire to engage but uncertainty about how, will share that report with a few colleagues.

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@ClimateOutreach do you have any data sets for school level maths lessons? Anything for time series, cumulative frequency, box plots, Venn diagrams, pie charts, histograms would be amazingly helpful to give lessons a bit more impact

[Andy Cox @andycox42]

@rpancost how easy would it be get hold of some school accessible data on these sorts of trends? https://t.co/5UeEXkK1th
