Lovely to see so many LLME this evening. We are inspired by all the stories you have shared about the impact of your work on students, departments, and schools.

This is a great idea...I must find that template for a Venn diagram with 4 circles.

I like these a lot. I have visions of a class activity where the result is a filled in four set Venn diagram!

Thanks for spotting my mistake. In my desire to get onto 'important maths' I typed the ineq for the argument the wrong way. I should follow the advice I give to students...only lose marks on the most difficult parts of as, don't make silly errors. The Google doc is amended.

A great set of videos @bareaumaths . Thanks for these. I will share with y11 tomorrow morning.

Here's my attempt at weekend 'no number' resource to develop thinking about perimeter beyond simply adding up numbers, inspired by one of the great @ashtonC94 tasks. This is obviously a task to be used after students become fluent. I want some honest feedback, plan to use Thurs.

Fully endorse the Government's conversion to "data not dates". An approach I implemented successfully throughout my teenage years.

Only 12% required for a pass (Grade 4) on the Higher tier International GCSE Mathematics exam in November 2020 - I’d wager you didn’t need to know a lot of maths for that. Grade boundaries here: qualifications.pearson.com/c… Grade statistics here: qualifications.pearson.com/e…

These are always so well thought out, practical and enlightening. A real go-to for planning and learning about pedagogy.
