I'm a maths teacher and proud brummie. An angry optimist who believes in the power of people. All views are my own. She/her.

***NEW The next blogpost of my @Mathematical_A Presidential Blog has just gone live at https://t.co/lgCM8acQlz. In this post, I think about ways to make potentially ‘less interesting’ mathematical topics more interesting, using the example of rounding.

This looks like an amazing opportunity.

“The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colors or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.”

~ G.H. Hardy, 1941

@ProfSmudge Why "estimate" the scale factor? I'm looking at the vertical height and getting SF=2.5. Or is that the point of the task ie to consider the distance between any 2 points to find SF?
