I am a mathematics teacher who loves good ideas for rich, engaging mathematics lessons! I love some other things too, but maths ed is mostly what I tweet about.

Super excited that this is going to be published in March https://t.co/zDqfVwZXmD @RoutledgeEd @routledgebooks looking forward to seeing what people think, if slightly nervous #lessons2look4ward2 #maths #math #mathcpdchat #mtbos

I do a wee thing to memorialize mathematicians and math educators we've lost each year. Usually famous folks, but wonder if you've lost a math teacher, mathematician or math educator? Share something about them with me and I'll try to memorialize them. Or just boost your story.

Hi @Fender I just bought the fender acoustic preverb pedal. It came without a power supply and I can't seem to find out what I should get. 9v cables I have arent working. Is it something to do with polarity? Can you help please? Thanks

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

@valerie_koch Thank you Valerie! Very kind

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

This week! From chapter 2 about cones! With a given piece of paper/card, who can make the cone with the biggest volume ? So much goes on here… should it be short and fat or tall and skinny? Is making the cone with the biggest volume the same as making sure you use as much 1/2

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

@Mathowitz @Dsrussosusan Thanks both, Love it! So many variations…

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

Would love to hear about yours….. https://t.co/zDqfVwZXmD

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

Of the card as possible? How can I fit the base and the other bit on the same piece of paper? What shape is the other bit? Always rewarding and sets us up well for following work problem. Solving with mensuration of cones. Lots of variations for all ages…. 2/3

Introducing globalization & hoping that Elon hasn’t forced all geography teachers off Twitter! Please say hi to my group in Toulouse and tell us where you are. Merci.

Today in the #MLCUoA some students asked why the formula for the sum of the first n squares was 1/6 n(n+1)(2n+1). I said there ought to be a geometrical reason, and ran to get the Cuisenaire rods. Here is a recreation of what we figured out on the fly.

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

@Simon_Gregg @DavidKButlerUoA Second that ! Lovely

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

And today we got to some good magic square stuff… a 5 by 5 magic square with a 3 by 3 inside it … this one is a work in progress

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

the numbers from 1 to 50 cut out and a giant whiteboard! What would you ask? #somanypossibilities my favourite today was 'can you split them in to two piles that have the same sum?' #mathchat #mathschat #iteachmath #mtbos #mathscpdchat

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

@piogold @Simon_Gregg I like it!

[Jim Noble @teachmaths]

@scdsbmath Do you mean one that doesn’t fit in to either group? Thinking ……..

Kind words from @Bobby_Seagull about my book! Thanks Bobby - means a lot coming from you with all you do for promoting our subject! cc @routledgebooks @RoutledgeEd @RoutledgeEOE
