@mathsmrgordon I remember you sharing (ages ago) a Powerpoint on using tiles for negative numbers which had a lot of work on zero pairs in it. Might you be able to share it again please?

[The SUM Centre @haybridgemaths]

Open Evening was brilliant, but what you’re all dying to know, naturally, is the result of the maths experiment.

Well, there were 967 sweets in the jar.

We had 123 estimates, ranging from 150 to 5000, but the mean was...

[drumroll please]

971

We are astonished!

🥳New episode🥳

@MathsMrCox & I sat down to share our takeaways from sessions by:
@EmathsUK
@lehain
@annemathswatson
@olicav
@colinfoster77
@mathsmrgordon

Dual-coding, confidence, metacognition, and why starters are "bollocks". It's all in there!

Triangles organized according to their angles (every 10°).
Point (x,y) corresponds to the triangle with x° and y° angles. Size varies just for fun. #mathGIF with @geogebra

[Vsauce @tweetsauce]

If you draw lines between the centers of adjacent faces on a polyhedron, the shape you're left with is the original shape's "dual." The dual of each Platonic solid is another Platonic solid. The tetrahedron is its own dual!

[Vincent Pantal🍩ni @panlepan]

@MakobeSeki @giohio @jagarikin @geogebra Now here's what you can get when you the radii vary.

Triple marking: not only does it measure the wrong thing, but it makes doing the right thing harder. https://t.co/aK8U68Unj5

[Robert Low @RobJLow]

@mathsjem I look at some of those old textbooks, and think:
1/ These people really cared about what they were doing, and
2/ What they weren't doing was writing exam preparation material for an exam board which would require a different text book in a couple of years.
