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 !

WHAT?! There’s a Day for MSW now? This will be of equal importance in my calendar to #NewKidsOnTheBlock Day, from this day forward!

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!

Last week had a special math-y date: 7-24-25, which is a Pythagorean triple. This means that the sum of the squares of the smaller two numbers equals the square of the largest number. Let’s d…

A standing ovation for someone found guilty of tweeting about burning migrants alive. She was sentenced to 31 months for inciting racial hatred. The judge said “You intended to incite serious violence. What you did encouraged activity which threatened or endangered life.” Who’s calling this out?

The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.

Stew it to make a kind of thick coulis and you can freeze it down in small batches and it makes a great topping for pancakes, porridge etc. You can mix with other fruits too.

Needed a new project so I’ve decided to make worksheets and accompanying videos to review each Unit of the GCSE Maths course. Unit 1 Higher (Number) just went LIVE on YouTube. I actually think these would be really powerful as a cover lesson. Bit.ly/gcsemathsH1Vid
