Focus on self-care, self-love, and self-compassion first—because you can’t pour from an empty heart, heal from a place of exhaustion, or give what you don’t give yourself. When you nurture your own well-being, you become stronger, kinder, and more present for everyone around you.

I watched dementia consume my grandmother's fierce intellect. I felt I had failed her. Today we know nearly half of dementia cases can be prevented. The tools exist—we must use them. Read an excerpt of my new book in @wsj.com. Gift link:

Essay | The Simple Steps That Can Prevent Dementia

My grandmother was terrified of losing her memory, but in the end she did. Here’s what could have helped her—and can help you.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Arbitrary and necessary mathematics.

One of those most important ideas to consider when planning and delivering maths lessons.

Here's my one-slide summary based on Dave Hewitt's article here:
www.lboro.ac.uk/media/media/...

Mathematical conventions must be explicitly taught, but mathematical ideas can be discovered or deduced.
Dave Hewitt refers to these as arbitrary and necessary.

A couple of tasks to bring about awareness of the properties of odd and even numbers.

I think she meant to say crash bang wallop but it went a bit wrong. And yes, I think there was a subtext there.

“Wham, bang, bollock” was what it sounded like to me !

Linger is my favourite too.
It was released the year I took my GCSEs. Played daily on the refectory jukebox at 6th form college. And what a time to be alive that was!

Sad, tonight, sat in Widnes with my family, watching the Panorama about asylum seekers, and seeing the presenter being racially abused while here, interviewing people in the street.

Proud, however, to see so many former teachers helping arrivers. (We recognised them!)

GENUINE fact (not a "bit"):
The date is 5^2 / 3^2 / 45^2

It is probably the last time in your lifetime where all three numbers are square (the next one being 1/1/2116)

Pythagorean Party!
