@TRT_Tricia @guardian Hi Tricia. Yes, in North America they call them Jerseys, we would call them shirts, maybe in Australia they call them Guernseys.

@TRT_Tricia @guardian Hi Tricia. There is a type of jumper called a Guernsey. I think that’s probably where the Geordie word for jumper, Gansey, came from.

@mathscpdchat @LearningMaths How would you make 179 using 3 darts?

[David Prinn @DavidPrinn_53]

@LearningMaths The numbers that can’t be scored are 23, 29, etc.
So we can’t do 60 + 60 + 23 but we can do 60 + 50 + 33.
We can’t do 60 + 60 + 29 but we can do 60 + 50 + 39.
Carry on. Not many left to check now.
3/3.

[David Prinn @DavidPrinn_53]

@LearningMaths It’s going to be a fairly large number.
Maybe start by working out what you CAN make.
You can obviously make any of the numbers from 3 to 60.
You can make any of the numbers from 61 to 80 (20 + 40 + 1..20).
81 to 100 (40 + 40 + 1..20).
101 to 120 (60 + 40 + 1..20). 1/2

[David Prinn @DavidPrinn_53]

@LearningMaths 121 to 140 (60 + 60 + 1..20).
Now it gets tricky but there aren’t many left to check.
Maybe we should now think about what numbers can’t be scored by a single dart. We can score 1.,20 and the doubles give us 22, 24, … 40 and the trebles give us 21, 27, etc.
2/3

@nufctrust Yes, I was there and I’m looking forward to going this year.

@TaylorandPayne 11th September 1963 (so I’ll be celebrating 60 years as a NUFC supporter later this year). A 2-2 draw with Southampton. Newcastle goals scored by Barry Thomas and Ron McGarry.

@MrMurrayGreen @mrnalty Or you could change the grade boundary to 79.5 so that anything that has been rounded up to 80 gets the higher grade and anything that has been rounded down to 79 gets the lower grade.

@Bobby_Seagull Who was the only PM in my lifetime to serve under two different monarchs.

@HalifaxAndrew @Bobby_Seagull The concept of learning styles has been debunked e.g. https://t.co/zBQf9LzCKl If you are going to do an internet search please search for "learning styles debunked" or learning styles myth".

[David Prinn @DavidPrinn_53]

@Bobby_Seagull They could start with "All you ever wanted to know about learning and teaching but were too cool to ask" available at https://t.co/4X0VJdRZm5 Aimed at FE college students but still relevant for HE students.

Starting on Thu 28 April, join the #YSPFamily team for Sculptural Adventures. Designed for under 5s, little ones can make, play and discover on an imaginative adventure inspired by a different sculpture each month.

@tessmaths I think you’ll find that nearly every company includes a numeracy test as part of their application process.
