Final post… I have stopped visiting anyway but cannot bear to be linked to the dreadful trio in the US so I’m deactivating my account and following 1st Class Maths and moving to Blue Sky. Bye.

@Samira_M_E @xgigglypuff I’m hoping you are being funny and not so stupid as to not realise that if you boil it you have pasteurised it (& then some). Yes I am too lazy to read this considerable thread!

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

@xgigglypuff My grandpa got brucellosis from drinking raw milk - it was in a rural dairy area and in the early 1950s and he was the vicar so visited people’s homes/farms a lot - exposure to brucellosis causes human miscarriage. #peoplearecrackers

@English_TutorUK @imagineinquiry It is amazing how they miraculously find a pen when you offer a pencil or a weird coloured pen!

@TheMathsBazaar @markgs2011 @mrbartonmaths @Teacherglitter @mathsjem @primemaths5 @hkettlemaths @1stclassmaths Going to have to plead for all black pens in the stationery order!! 😬Actually it will also help avoid sulking 17 year olds when they don’t get the colour they want🙄

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

MWBs! So fed up of them not wiping clean - any inspiration on brands that do clean properly with a dry cloth and which pens facilitate this too! Pls RT😎 @mrbartonmaths aka King of MWBs😆 @Teacherglitter @mathsjem @primemaths5

@NickyAnscombe @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths @Teacherglitter @primemaths5 @hkettlemaths @1stclassmaths Yeah I just use cut up blue J-cloths… when we had wooden back erasers they doodled on the wood and some tore them apart🙄

@markgs2011 @TheMathsBazaar @mrbartonmaths @Teacherglitter @mathsjem @primemaths5 @hkettlemaths @1stclassmaths It’s not writing just staining across the boards so they’re mucky pink or greenish or grey - would this still work?

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

@mrsknoxmaths Completely agree! Call them relationship tables though! #mathsgcse #resits #lookingforanewangle

@becatherfold @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths @Teacherglitter Thank you!

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

Primary maths specialists: if you had to recommend just 1 book on primary maths teaching practice what would it be? Pls RT🙏🏻@mrbartonmaths @mathsjem @Teacherglitter

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

@garydpeters @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths @Teacherglitter Oooh I will have to dive in again with a new perspective! ❤️HIWITM!

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

What are you expecting to achieve if, as a teacher, you tell a student that they are rubbish at your subject?

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

@LEJPMath Just never show it to a student struggling to cope with fraction calculations… the interesting discussion won’t stick only their misinterpretation that you add across to multiply fractions which is implied by this.

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

@Kirsty832 Amen to this… the old man and I live like this as a rule and so are both slightly horrified to find we have something scheduled for every Saturday night until Christmas 😱

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

@_MissieBee Please don’t worry if he doesn’t like finger painting, some really don’t like mess on their hands… I for one didn’t and yet not in the slightest bit neat and tidy as an adult!! Just give them a brush or sponges or do printing with potato etc!

[FEMaths @maths_fe]

Sent these to my November resitters for half term fun! Thank you 🙏🏻

[Mr Rigby-Richards @Simon_Richards8]

So after making a Foundation Analysis document for Edexcel, I've also made a paper containing topics that have come up on at least 50% of the Non-Calculator papers.

And it will be sent with the upcoming email to everyone on the mailing list.

@mathsteacher09 @Miss_Coates91 @mathsjem @draustinmaths @Maths4Everyone @MrMattock @MissBowkett Yeah I am pleased to say that I now have FE resitters who were on a 2 when they arrived last September & are now positive about having progressed to a 3 this summer & are working with a positive attitude towards achieving a 4 next summer. #ProgressIsProgress
