@mrallanmaths It's a really tricky thing to deal with. I'm presuming you're not allowed to say no.
I make my pupils leave their phone before going to the toilet. It doesn't stop them wanting to go but at least I know they're not just hanging out in toilet playing on their phone.

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

@mrallanmaths Are these same pupils asking out during other maths periods? I find certain times are toilet hotspots.

@suzi0207 Looking after yourself is so important. It's hard to do that at times.

@brynspiration Congratulations 🎊

@audproctor77 If we wish it, maybe it will come true 😀

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

@audproctor77 I think the worst of it is done now. Just need it to melt now. Bring on the sunshine 🌞

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

@audproctor77 Snow day Monday and most of Tuesday plus lots of tricky drives to and from work. It's been a disjointed start to the year.

@andrewkbailey13 @mrallanmaths Absolutely agree. Certainly for maths, SG being over two years allowed for more depth and reasoning to be built in instead of a 1 year rush. I'd be very disappointed to see mandatory units brought back.

I set up a Blue-sky account a while ago but hadn't been using it. Going to try to use it more for sharing what's going on in my classroom.
You can find me at @JulieMorgan.bsky.social

Nice to finally see the sun 🌞

@pml_pawdaw I'm alright, thanks 😊. Just venting. I'm not great at actually expressing my feelings IRL. Just got annoyed at the mansplaining I got 😒

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

Pet peeve: when you’ve done something as a favour for someone, and rather than saying thanks, they tell you how to do it better (in their opinion) 😡😡😡

@ChrisMcGrane84 @scottishmaths I used to go every year and loved it but since moving up north, the travel time is just a bit too much for me to do in one day.
I’d love if there could be an online conference.

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

@asn_deptKGS Certainly brightened up my day. Thanks 😃

@MrMcEnaney N4 maths, most of the pupils who may have been able to make the progression from N4 to N5 have been pushed into taking N5 in S4 instead. This means pupils left taking N4 in S4 are those who would have been Foundation SG. They struggle to complete N4 Maths, esp now with AVU back.

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

@MrTilston I'm not really sure. Mathematically, I would agree that synthetic division raises some grey areas but whether that would impact on the marks, I'm not sure. I'm presuming the marking scheme doesn't offer any advice.

[Julie Morgan @fractionfanatic]

@mrallanmaths Does the same issue occur for the number 1.9999?
