Any of our Year 11s following us...I’m sure there’s loads but they’re hiding or something. Anyway, this looks great.

[AMSP - Advanced Mathematics Support Programme @Advanced_Maths]

We are very excited to announce that our Transition to A level #Mathematics free online course has now launched.

This course will help #students to develop fluency in the techniques and key mathematical concepts that underpin A level Mathematics.

A wealth of opportunity for maths fun here!

[Chris Smith MBE @aap03102]

Thanks to everyone who solved and shared my Corona Conundrums...I've loved hearing stories of the Maths joy they've been bringing!

The entire collection of 50 lockdown puzzles is here:

Finally got a student or two to complete a #mathartchallenge
Such a lovely hashtag to indulge in

[Downlandslearning @downlandslearn]

Our Year 7-9 Key worker pupils were set the task to design stencils and to use them to create & paint their own reusable canvas bag. We think they did rather well! Very professional looking indeed!

[Downlands Maths @downlands_maths]

Very handy!

[Odd Rob @oddrobmaths]

I’ve seen a couple of these for other subjects so had a quick go at a maths version.
🤞 hope I got my maths correct on this Monday morning!

That's quite a lot of feedback provided!

[Nicole Cozens ( she/her ) @nicole_cozens]

Found on facebook. Well done maths teacher, I wish I knew who it was to credit them! If anyone finds out -please tag. The NHS comment might be my favourite....

[Downlands Maths @downlands_maths]

@EmporiumMaths @YouTube Great, thank you for such a swift reply.
Should've asked first... is this roughly aimed at higher or foundation?

[Downlands Maths @downlands_maths]

@EmporiumMaths @YouTube Sounds great!
Is this aimed at students or teachers? And will it be available afterwards if we can't make it live?

[Chris Smith MBE @aap03102]

Here’s another Corona Conundrum for you to figure out (definitely one for working-from-home teachers to enjoy too)!

Remember, no spoilers in the comments! Just retweet and I’ll post my solution tomorrow.

Keep solving.
Keep sharing.
Keep safe.

[Downlands Maths @downlands_maths]

Wowzers!

[Liam Otley @LiamOtley]

What else is a bored teacher to do during lockdown? 😂
Completed @hegartymaths, all 925 tasks!
Hopefully one day one of my pupils will follow in my footsteps...

[Colin Hegarty @hegartymaths]

All 11 live lessons so far to share with your classes covering surds, indices, manipulating powers.
With your turn/my turn + writing frames + review exercise. Hope these help. https://t.co/y0nDdxdGen via @YouTube

[Downlands Maths @downlands_maths]

So many fantastic lessons within our department are directly thanks to Don. What terrible news.
Love to all who knew him 💛

[Jo Morgan @mathsjem]

I’m incredibly sad to hear the news that Don Steward has passed away. What a wonderful man. His brilliant tasks have brought joy to our classrooms for many years. He will be greatly missed by the maths teaching community.

[Downlands Geography @DownlandsGeog]

Remember to send your geography teacher your entries for the earth day competition by TOMORROW (Friday 1st May) 🌍

[Tom Brennan @Brennanator]

Pissed off by Trump’s Lysol “jokes”? That’s not just emotion, it’s mathematic equation at work. @darryldarryl_ explains: https://t.co/v08Huvw6nR

[Nicole Cozens ( she/her ) @nicole_cozens]

Some of us at the AMSP have been putting together a package for Yr11s to bridge to A Level maths. A MOOC will be coming later, but here's some help for Yr 11 teachers and students (you might find some good stuff for your Year 10s too!). RTs helpful! https://t.co/GCx6Ez3kxZ

[Downlands Maths @downlands_maths]

Oh this is vexing...
