For those unfortunate enough to be starting back tomorrow...

Over the summer Duelling Mathematicians has had a bit of an upgrade.

Loads of new question types, game statistics, and design tweaks, but the same frenetic music and sound effects.

More to come!

I hope my Year 10s have enjoyed their summer holiday work, which included various options from the likes of @ayliean.bsky.social, @tibees.bsky.social, @elliesleightholm.bsky.social, @meimaths.bsky.social, @nrichmaths.bsky.social, @simonsinghnerd.bsky.social, and @desmos.com.

(All links in alt text)
A screenshot of the following text: In case you want to do something a bit different, here's some other Mathematical things you can do over the Summer: 1) Watch some Mathematical YouTube videos. I'd suggest: Ayliean - https://www.youtube.com/@Ayliean/videos Tibees - https://www.youtube.com/@tibees/videos Ellie Sleightholm - https://www.youtube.com/@EllieSleightholm/videos 2) Do some Mathematical art. Lots of ideas here: https://www.artfulmaths.com/blog 3) Play a Mathematical game. I strongly recommend the Sumaze games (https://www.mei.org.uk/sumaze/) and Euclidea (https://www.euclidea.xyz/) 4) Read a Mathematical book. Some good suggestions here: https://nrich.maths.org/recommended-books 5) Watch a Mathematical film/documentary. I'd suggest: Hidden Figures, The Man Who Knew Infinity, or Fermat's Last Theorem (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074rxx/horizon-19951996-fermats-last-theorem), 6) Have a go at some Mathematical puzzles. https://nrich.maths.org/students/secondary 7) Explore Mathigon. There's lots of really cool stuff on there. https://mathigon.org/activities 8) Sign up to Parallel and have a go at some of the Parallelograms puzzles: https://parallel.org.uk/parallelograms?latest=1 9) Create some Desmos art: https://www.desmos.com/art

Just gave this a rather significant visual upgrade.

It's now quite colourful, matching the textbooks!

I've also added in totals, but they tend to be off by a couple of marks from the official ones as they are just the sums of the notional component boundaries.

My new role starts on Monday. That came around fast.

I've been thinking about transitions between lessons recently and blogged about 'The Start of The Lesson' at taylorda01.weebly.com

The hat trick has landed. Following on from 'The Start of The Lesson' and 'Just After The Start of The Lesson', I've just blogged about 'The Lesson' at taylorda01.weebly.com

I hope you're all as excited as I am about getting back to teaching this week!

So it took a while, but here is the write up of my MathsConf38 session - Breaking Up with Formulae: Ratio Tables are “The One”! Turns out starting a new job the same week as presenting, then a busy summer weren't ideal for getting this done before now! 😬🫣
Breaking Up with Formulae: Ratio Tables are “The One”
A write up of my MathsConf38 session on the use of ratio tables to support the development the conceptual understanding of algebraic drect and inverse proportion relationships. A little late, after starting a new job the same week and a busy summer... but finally written!

This is a helpful explanation from @chrisgiles.ft.com on why the UK is facing difficulties with the financial markets despite the underlying public finances probably being in better shape than others in the G7
on.ft.com/3HNCGVf
Instead, there are three genuine explanations for Britain being singled out for punishment in markets. First, the rise in 30-year UK gilt yields reflects a collapse in demand from defined benefit pension funds as they hit maturity and no longer require such debt in large quantities. Second is the peculiar twice-yearly pass-fail nature of Britain's fiscal rules, which create destructive industries in forecasting black holes in the public finances and imagining scare stories about who tax rises will hit next. The third is that the binary fiscal rules relate to highly uncertain fiscal forecasts five years hence, set by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, not the current reality.

Promised to be better at doing a daily #mathstoday and this is my first post of the term. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Rolled out a Durham Maths Mystery to practice algebra with Y8, they loved it. Lots of resilience. 💪🏻
These resources are 20 years old and I forget they exist, rediscover them & love them all over again.

I suggest that the easiest homework to assign (either online or on paper) is a Transum self-marking exercise. Name a Maths topic and there’s an exercise for it. What’s not to like? No log-in needed.

Start here: www.transum.org/Software/Mat...

Or search: www.transum.org/Search_Form....
