Trying to be more present here and so wanted to share my work in progress padlet on Diversifying the Mathematics Curriculum. I am also keen to come and lead assemblies for students and PD for teachers (free!) on this subject if anyone is interested!

In #MathsToday Y13 filled this normal distribution table #ALevelMaths
I love this resource, especially when students get to the second one of the bottom row and get stuck, at which point I usually prompt them to look for where 0.7778 appears elsewhere. But today, that didn’t happen…

Absolutely amazing two days in London at the Teaching Further Maths 1 study days. I will never get over how inspiring it is to watch a group of teachers work hard, support each other and really push themselves for the entire day. Applications for Spring courses open now 😁

The AMSP 'Maths of Data Science and AI' spring-term course for #ALevelMaths students is nearly full and we're likely to close applications later on today.
There's still places on our course for non-A level Maths students and our teacher PD course though: amsp.org.uk/maths-into-ai/

On Tuesday the boy who made me a mum will be 24. I was 21, had to take a year out of uni & had no idea how it would turn out. 19 years later he quit medicine after a year, took a year out & had no idea how it would turn out. It's all turning out great ❤️😁

In #mathstoday I’ve been desperately trying to find some short videos I remember on the maths needed in various careers, aimed at KS3/4 (rather than A Level which I can find on AMSP
@meimaths.bsky.social ) I’m sure one featured Grove Lodge Vets in Brighton. Any ideas anyone pls? Or similar?

Does anyone have a nice set of simple problems to apply the #coremaths modelling cycle to? The sort of thing where students could work in groups to fill out a template of the cycle and then present their findings.

I think it's safe to say that people are pretty 'aware' right now. What we actually need is safety and allyship but happy #TransgenderAwarenessWeek anyway.

James Watson made some tremendous contributions to science, and expressed many grotesque views, which were racist, sexist and ignorant. These are all well documented.
