Recent comments on here have got me wondering, what little Easter eggs do people leave in their questions? Bonus points if they're things that there is zero chance anyone but you will recognise. #edusky #TodayInMaths

So I got one of those cards that make it all worth while today 🥹 particularly touching as I've felt lately that I've not done very well by his class this year. #TodayInMaths #Edusky
![Card written by a 12 year old that reads: "thank you mister gouter [sic] for everything. Youve made me really love maths bfore I was in your class I didnt really Like math's [sic] but thanks to you its my faverot Lesson so thank you mister gouter [sic] sorry for miss spelling your name"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kogjkhinyirbx3ntwlfjubsw/bafkreie3fjouxxvy2lxps6mettayevejcjhrqxkavfpfwoos4c2fcj5kpa@jpeg)

#TodayInMaths my 7yo did some questions on a friend's 12yo's Sparx Maths homework 😂 it was a perimeter question, so she explained to my son what that meant and he did all the adding for her 😁 so funny

#TodayInMaths I taught a class of 2 year 9s in a bottom set for a double session due to Eid absences. Did some solid times table practice with the @lasalleed.bsky.social times table app. Started working together, then gave one the iPad and one the laptop to see who could score higher

#TodayinMaths we solved systems of linear equations with infinite and no solution for the first time. Their surprised reactions to these kind of problems were so fun to see.

We've got this honking big SOMA cube that lives in our classroom-- got it out for an end of term activity. The kids had to build a micro version out of multilink before they could have a go at the big one. #todayinmaths

#TodayInMaths a wonderful choropleth maps resource from tes on crime data in London. Pupils choose a crime statistic, determine their own key, and make a choropleth map for crime prevalence. Really impressed by some of these beautiful results.

#todayinmaths I accidentally taught a few year 8s basic set theory notation and later in my walk about they asked for more then asked a great question about infinity: "can I discover more numbers?" brilliant question

Sides, and then connect the midpoints of those sides and then repeat until it’s so small it’s “just a point”. I love this, and had never considered it!
Sometimes kids come up with ideas that are way cool to think about!

My "en plein air" tiling mathematics kit 1.0. Making notes with definitions and my understanding/questions for every page of the three tiling papers.
Also - a still/nature/landscape color sketch kit

Though if Desmos is getting used more by maths teachers (I think it is, right #TodayInMaths?) the learning curve may not be as large if some familiarity with it exists.
Also, if you have students taking CS/programmers on the side, can do some nice Python plots or even simulations!

#TodayInMaths we showed how Bayes' Theorem is the math(s) behind both poker bluffing and medical tests!
We also talked about the implications of false positives AND false negatives, the importance of non-stigmatizing language, and further application to law.
Next week — Texas hold'em!

#TodayInMaths we looked at the Reduce element of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle for STEM Day. Inspired by the Max Box activity learners had to design a popcorn box that had the greatest volume from the same raw material in order to hold the most popcorn. The aim was to think about efficient packaging design

I love teaching with booklets but sometimes you want to include something that you don't want students to see until they've thought about it themselves. So I do spoiler sheets that get stuck in after the discussion #alevelmaths #todayinmaths

#todayinmaths The third years taught themselves stem and leaf plots. I gave them some examples, and off they went. A few misconceptions later when it came to problems, nothing major, Finding the mode was a good exercise, did s’s get that not all 5’s on the plot were the same number.
