@hkettlemaths The hand in rates of forms, sets, and year groups are shared weekly in our assembly/form times. It is currently encouraging positive competition.

@tp_price17 I think the pair of us can sleep well knowing that we put the hours in over the term time. Enjoy the last of your holidays with the girls 🙂

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

Looking at Twitter, I was feeling very anxious about how little (nil) work I've completed over the summer holidays. However, my camera roll has reminded me what my priorities are, and I suddenly feel better. It has been an amazing summer... Family time trumps everything else!

@missbprimary__ Guilty, your honour!

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@wright_maths I am waiting to get completed maths content lists from the HoD's then we will look at curriculum structure. It was discussed, and if needed a concept may have to be taught by another dept. If that is the case, CPD will be provided by one of my team to ensure good practice.

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@AbdallahWahishi Sorry to hear that! Keep your head up, and something better will always come along!

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@WhiteRoseEd Hi, I am trying to get in contact with yourselves to increase the amount of subscriptions we have for our maths department. If you could point me in the direction of someone, I would be forever grateful.

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

First Ofsted as a HoD over the next two days. I luckily have an amazing SLT and department, so I know everything will be OK! Wish me luck...

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@JakeGMaths Ahh that makes sense. I can make that work. Thank you so much for your help, and the product is brilliant! I look forward to sharing with my department this evening :)

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@JakeGMaths I passed on the information and got it unblocked. Thank you so much. I'm now struggling with the visualiser. :( It appears on my ipad but does not copy across the smart board. Everything else (photos/ppt) is fine. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@JakeGMaths Good afternoon, I am introducing my dept to your Static Whiteboard in a CPD session next week. It is amazing! Is there any way that it can be used as a visualiser tool? I thought I had done so in the past when messing with it, but I can't seem to find it. Thank you.

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

Morning Twitter. I'm spending my Saturday morning marking mocks. Would you accept this layout of standard form as correct?

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@Simon_Richards8 Hi, this looks amazing. Could I please be added to your mailing list? Thanks 😁

[Mr Simmons @MrSimmonsMaths]

@TheStudentLeads The crime factor was a huge part of the choice. Bringing up my daughter in England terrifies me. Hopefully, the pros outweigh the cons. Thanks for the honesty, always hard to find unbiased opinions on the net. :)

@MisterRMaths @mathsjem Hi, I teach 14/20 and have a year 11 intervention form group.
