“If we direct our energies not on evaluating teachers but on improving them, we are far more likely to improve the quality of education that our pupils receive” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @dylanwiliam @CharteredColl

We have a new opening in our maths department from September - come and work with an amazing team (definitely not biased!) and teach awesome students.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻

[Boolean Maths Hub @booleanmathshub]

Lovely to see so many LLME this evening. We are inspired by all the stories you have shared about the impact of your work on students, departments, and schools.

@gautiersue Are the two triangles similar?
Convince me.
Will this be true if I draw a rectangle instead of a square?
Explain your thinking.

@MrTaylorMaths2 @ashtonC94 @McGuirea499 @ChrisMcGrane84 @MrDraperMaths @taylorda01 @jshmtn @giftedHKO @MathematicalH @LearningMaths @StudyMaths @dare_richard @atulrana I think it's a great idea if the timing is right for you. You are guaranteed to deepen other people's understanding and also your own.

This is a great idea...I must find that template for a Venn diagram with 4 circles.

[Rob Southern @mrsouthernmaths]

@markronaldward I like these a lot. I have visions of a class activity where the result is a filled in four set Venn diagram!

[Mark Ward @markronaldward]

Thanks for spotting my mistake. In my desire to get onto 'important maths' I typed the ineq for the argument the wrong way. I should follow the advice I give to students...only lose marks on the most difficult parts of as, don't make silly errors. The Google doc is amended.

I've recently been looking at new 'task design' generic structures with a bit of SS creativity. Comments are actively encouraged and acted upon. These are reviews from FM EDEXCEL.

A great set of videos @bareaumaths . Thanks for these. I will share with y11 tomorrow morning.

[Mark Ward @markronaldward]

@MissAmilahS What about mentioning the option of studying it as an AS and greater interest may develop or they may have a firmer idea of uni/ careers choice.
