@8priya @WRMathsSec We could also take away the V to get II. Works nicely.

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@WRMathsSec Seven.

Or Roman numerals III, VII, IX etc.

Or any odd number where the letter you take away is x.

Or Eleven, but you take away the sound of the letter L.

@MarkOne65126381 @BBCRadio4 What about pie charts?

@AccomplishEdu @easternmaths @rosemkeating @RuthTrundley @danicquinn @LearningMaths @AlisonHopperMEI @alisonkiddle I've also taped tiny postit notes onto doorframes at 10cm intervals to create a ruler for measuring student heights. Warning- it can create a traffic jam at the start and end of lessons.

@AccomplishEdu @easternmaths @rosemkeating @RuthTrundley @danicquinn @LearningMaths @AlisonHopperMEI @alisonkiddle I've always found design and technology classrooms and staff to be quite accomodating. They often have vinyl cutters, laser cutters ect. available to use.

I once had 30 circle templates in pvc cut for pie charts after a particularly frustrating lesson.

@Arithmaticks @ShakinthatChalk Number of segments used of a traditional 7 segment calculator display?

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@alcmaths I love this! Going to use it with the older ones who get stuck expanding and factorising single brackets as well as when using the AC method to factorise quadratics.

@MichaelOllerton I like this.
I have seen so many children freeze up at first sight of a complex equation.
This could help them recognise that each equation is made up of simple terms and operations, building confidence and understanding.

@CollardEmma My son tells me he only does that when he's "thinking dumbly."
He is evasive when I ask how often that is.

@Sue_Cowley @keziah70 If a school could ban children like my local supermarket has I'm sure it could operate just fine.

@srcav 0.9 + 21900 = 4

Totally legit.

@EnserMark @MichaelOllerton Raises an interesting concept in Twitter ettiquete. Should a tweet I regret be deleted and my Twitter history reflect a 'photoshopped' version of me or should I present myself warts and all?

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@MichaelOllerton It's a snake hatching in zero gravity. With numbers on it...

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@jenshearman @LearningMaths @ProfSmudge This was my approach. No pictures used.

@kyledevans I thought your order was chronological?

Its complicated when you realise monsters inc. and Brave introduce time travel to the mix.

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@timstirrup @SarahGarry9 @danicquinn I have not heard of GEMS? Could someone educate me?

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@smithsmm I find these pictures of "tidied" bookshelves very stressful.

@gregzee @bromhome @Iain643 @MrKennethClarke @markyclark1 If scotland was to become independent, would it still be classed as British due to its geographical location in the British Isles? Much as Mexico is on the continent of North America?

Or do I not fully understand the definition of British?

[TooManyTeeth @teeth_too]

@MoreThanMaths @MrTankMaths I was also going to recommend looking through core maths resources.
