Maths teacher for 8 years, I now make maths revision resources for a website.
I mostly taught A level Maths & Further Maths in a sixth form, but I now produce content for all sorts of maths courses and levels.
(I am also a 32 yr old man, not a dog)

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

In #ALevelMaths #MathsToday (yesterday actually) we started with this lovely activity that someone shared at the maths conference last year. We went on to look at geometric and matrix proofs of the addition formulae.

The calendar effect always intrigues me. The lottery of birth month has such a huge impact. Born in August, rather than September? Likely to do significantly worse because of how our school system works.

At #mathsconf37 @mathsjem.bsky.social did a ‘fun with factorising’ session and taught us this fun way of factorising. I came home and showed my year 11 son, he did the second one and liked the new (well, very old!) method! Thanks Jo! #MathsToday

In #MathsToday we were slowly building up to harder Trig Modelling with Y13s by focusing on simpler and then increasingly difficult cases #ALevelMaths
Love a completion table for A Level Maths so trying to make more this year at www.chelekmaths.com

Every year in the spring term, I run a series of information sessions for our first year (year 12) students on the main STEM admissions tests (TMUA, MAT, STEP, PAT, and ESAT)
Sharing my slides for the 2025 sessions in case they're useful for anyone 😊

I respect teaching it "in the right order" doing CTS first, then deriving from that, but to me it just makes deriving it kind of boring. Same with when we derive the suvat formulae in mechanics.
Give them formulas, use them, and when the formulas are familiar, reveal the "magic" of deriving them ✨

I would recommend this course for anyone who helps plan KS5 stuff in any way, really good course and had great conversations with others in similar positions 👍
Applications are open for our (AMSP) KS5 Coordinator Development course! This instance of the course was designed with support from Nic @BAMEedWestMids for Global Majority teachers. The course is free for all state school teachers in England.

Maybe I should start showing them this more often though. I like how the square looks like a little cog wheel that is about to turn. It would be nice to do it with other shapes for some other angles.
