Lifelong learner and mathematician. Looking to share the passion and enthuse learners about Maths, whilst developing my own teaching practice too.

Applies in a doctors surgery, should also apply in schools- teachers be proud of the care that you give, we change lives every day. #ukedchat #TeachLYII #teacher5oclockclub #sltchat

See if they fall for it?

Here's a task for students studying conversions between fractions, decimals and percentages.

Thoughts and feedback?

“Books need to look more curriculumy”

Staff well-being is very important to the Academy Trust, so I’ll be putting these up in every office and in the staff room. Thanks x

@MrsNumberNerd @missradders My school is having mixed attainment higher and foundation next year. I don't know how well it will work for higher as I'm a fan of a "top top set". A few set 1 learners were disgruntled about this too.

I think Yr 7-9s will also be mixed attainment. Hopefully it will be OK!

@scarymathslucy @drewfoster0 @cbrownLmath @Mathgarden @MathforLove @jamestanton @chrismcgivern @MrMattock @petergates3 You're so lucky!!

I enjoy teaching my kids that infinity is not a number but that's as far as I've got. Think Hilbert's hotel is too much for them (yet!)

@drewfoster0 @cbrownLmath @Mathgarden @MathforLove @jamestanton @chrismcgivern @MrMattock @petergates3 My Y12 further maths class made these today and loved them. They then watched YouTubes on different types of infinity (their choice). They are truly mathematicians!

@drewfoster0 @johndsq @cbrownLmath @Mathgarden @MathforLove @jamestanton @chrismcgivern @MrMattock @petergates3 Looks awesome! Wish I had seen this yesterday when I made some with my Year 7s!

I guess now the Year 8s will be in for a surprise instead. 😅

Making hexaflexigons is such a rich mathematical activity.

Researchers state that improving spatial awareness can help Ss become better at maths as a whole.

@missradders I'll take that as a compliment! 🤣

I might pop by for the present and slowly make a quick gettaway... 🙈 The real Mrs A wouldn't notice a thing!

[Mrs A @chaotic_system_]

@missradders Hahah lucky them!!

I'm not sure what to do this summer.

Would love to relearn some elements of maths that I've forgotten, but there's too many to choose from!

Have been making hexaflexagons with my kids today - maybe I'll work on helping them become super geeky...

[Mrs A @chaotic_system_]

@missradders Thank you so much! ❤

According to my son it must be for him as he likes PJ Mask! (Now he's breaking into the PJ Mask song🤣)

Don't worry I will read it to him every night....

#wishfulthinking

PS what have I got myself into- now I'm being made to sing the PJ mask song!! 😱
