@sainsburys Hi, I saw this in my local Sainsburys & staff were at a loss when I asked for an explanation. Please help. It’s Xmas time, it’s above the beauty isle, the girl has red/purple cheek, there’s a sanitary towel shown + the phrase ‘sleighing’ it’ Any ideas pls?

Square, Rectangle, and quarter circles. What is the yellow area?

Some people (including me) think this problem is very smart. Guess many of you will like it. Let’s see 😊

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero @EdwardTufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing @NASAWebb image. Thanks to the @WWTelescope for making this possible, and @ADavidWeigel. I only wish @NASA and @POTUS had shown the image this way!

Final sessions at our KS5 Conference: Making the links/interpret contexts: Space Station, Moon and Beyond and Transition to KS5 Maths: inspiring our students. Great to have our teachers together face to face. @EEAMSP @VennMathsHub @AnglesMathsHub @CamMathsHub @EnigmaMathsHub

@HM_Passport I applied for a UK adult passport renewal on 15th Feb, 11+ weeks ago. The tracking webpage shows processing on 6th April but nothing since. I’ve phoned 20+ times today but been cut off by you due to high call volume every time. Please advise next steps.

Mathematics.

A mathematician emerges from a cave, hands you the piece of paper below, and asks "Is this large number an integer or a non-integer? How do you know?" What is your answer?

[Graham Colman @colmanweb]

@sxpmaths How about rocket science?…

@santanderukhelp Thanks, we’ve spoken to customer contact now but it took 1 hr 45 mins! Maybe have a word with the contact centre shift managers to get more operators working Saturdays. Have a good evening

[Graham Colman @colmanweb]

@santanderukhelp Yes please. Can I DM you?

[Graham Colman @colmanweb]

@mathsjem Comic Sans though

@MathsNot @robotmaths When it comes to price comparisons I’ve always enjoyed asking students to compare petrol prices between UK and USA… £ to $, litres to gallons and UK gallons to US gallons. The looks on some of thier faces when I explain!

[Dame Rachel de Souza @Rachel_deSouza]

One of our first students @SirIsaac6thForm now leading scientific discovery - this was my dream when we set up @SirIsaac6thForm all those years ago. Huge well done to @harriet_gooch #STEM

[Tim Peake @astro_timpeake]

This looks almost as challenging as the real thing…

So, later than planned sadly, sorry everyone. But here is this years A-Level calculated colouring. I think the questions are perhaps a little easier this year…. https://t.co/ePLAusbBDi
