A shared model of excellence for powerful learning routines, applicable in every classroom

"The Magic 1089"
1. Write down a 3 digit number where the digits are decreasing (e.g. 421)
2. Reverse that number and subtract it from the first number
3. Take that answer and add the reverse to itself
4. 1089 will appear!

I'm delighted to be joining @renfrewmaths after the summer holidays. I can't wait to get started on this next chapter!
And just like that, probation year is over. It has been a pleasure to work with all the staff and pupils @BellahoustonAc I can't thank everyone In the maths department enough for all the support over this year. I'm sure our paths will cross again sometime down the road!
This book was written in a week by ten of our S3 pupils. T.M. Cooks is their pen name. Many thanks to the School Library Improvement fund with support from Ashley Waner, Yingchen Liu and our wonderful librarian Douglas Hogg.

Lucky to have shared this experience with this group. This was the most impactful piece of professional learning I have done over my probationary year. The world needs more kindness, care and compassion - reach in and check on your pupils, colleagues and those closest to you 💚
