I'm going to try to do #MathsToday as consistently as possible this year (although I might struggle on days when I only teach Computer Science!). Today, in my first lesson with Y10, we did some of @dandraper.bsky.social's lovely significant figures tasks: mrdrapermaths.wordpress.com/2020/11/14/z...

I ran a few CPD sessions for my school on how Excel can make life easier as a teacher this week. We looked at practical solutions to real-life teacher problems. I've recorded them in case anyone finds them useful. (All the pupil data is made up.) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #ExcelToday

Designed another interactive poster for my classroom. A student already asked how long it took me to make this. (Not very long thanks to copy and paste.) I have another student who can't wait to draw n=4 of the koch curve. Still looking for more ideas!! #iteachmath #mtbos

Math Game Monday: Digit Disguises -- This game requires students to make logical deductions about number relationships. #mtbos #homeschooling #mathgames #letsplaymath

Looking for ideas to use my classroom decor to invite my students to interact with math. Not something to distract them, but for the in between times. I have plenty of blocks and puzzles - think more like patterns and posters they can see from their desks. #iteachmath #mtbos #mathart #middleschool

A knight's tour of a 32x32 chessboard. The knight's path can be traced without lifting one's writing implement from the surface of the paper. This tour is close to having 180-degree rotational symmetry and vertical and horizontal mirror symmetries. #mathart #mathsart #chess

A knight's tour of a 32x32 chessboard. The knight's path is unicursal. If you start in the lower left corner and follow the path move by move, you will visit each square once and only once and end near the lower right corner. Inspiration: Szpakowski's linear ideas. #mathart #mathsart #orms #chess

Today is World Population Day. In maths lessons around the world it is an ideal opportunity to think deeply about big numbers. See some of the questions you could ask in today's starter. www.transum.org/Software/SW/... #mathsresources #mathschat #mathstoday #mathchat #lessonstarter #mathed

Exciting news! Mathematics Tasks for The Thinking Classroom, Grades 6-12 is in production and available for pre-order, with a publication date of early October! Pre-order your copy here: corwin.com/books/btc-ma... #btcthinks #iteachmath #MTBoS #thinkingclassrooms

New resources on bar charts ready for Year 7 lessons next week: ✨Constructing bar charts practice grid ✨Reading bar charts match-up ✨Frequency tables and bar charts fill in the blanks Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/statistics #MathsToday #UKMathsChat

As the year ends, pause: What math stories did your students write—not just in numbers, but in courage, struggle, insight? Growth isn’t always a score. What did they teach you about math, learning, or yourself? #ReflectiveTeaching #EndOfYear #MathEquity #iTeachMath #EduSky

#EduSky need a lesson plan for 22 September? I got you! #ITeachMath

I learned from her Patreon that Vi Hart has just deleted her 1.5M-subscriber YouTube channel. The worsening of YT’s policies for creators finally reached her breaking point. To help herd folks to her videos’ new home, here’s a link to an early favorite of mine. vimeo.com/showcase/116...

Start the New Year with a fun #math challenge! 🎉🧊 Break the ice with your students using the 2025 Year Game. How many expressions can you and your students create from the numbers 1 to 100—using only the digits in 2025? Try it now: nctm.link/LvN1e

2025 is going to be a really square year, and also be on the lookout for this specific square date! #math #ITeachMath #EduSky youtube.com/shorts/CEZ6B...

2025 is approaching so here's a fun math fact about that number: 2025=2024+1 #math #ITeachMath #EduSky

This is fun.

Last year I started a dictionary reflecting languages at our school speak. Kids periodically add to it, sometimes during centers, sometimes they stop by to add an entry :) #abar #Edusky #langchat

This one was a lot of fun.

Here's how it played out in the classroom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF2y...

Names in a Hat: https://buff.ly/3AP7yRD The hat can be found on the Random Student Generator page in the left menu (scroll down the page). The computer can pick names of your pupils out of a top hat. #Mathschat #Mathchat #Edchat

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Dr. Pam Seda (@pamseda1.bsky.social) aligned science's CER to math and I CANNOT wait to implement this with my students!! So many anchor charts are coming!!!! #MathMomentsSummit #iTeachMath #mtbos #EduSky

Learning from @pamseda1.bsky.social at the #MathMomentsSummit about how to disrupt the sorting of students that keeps certain kids at the bottom. She's talking about how to teach students so all achieve higher levels (not necessarily the same levels). #iTeachMath #mtbos #EduSky

7s finding the ratio of circumference to diameter. Imagine their surprise when the hula hoop and flower pot both had a value of about 3! It was a cool moment, especially for kids who had heard of π & could sing 100-digits but didn't know why it was special! #HoldingMath #EDUsky #iTeachMath #mtbos

On a mission to make math as hands-on as science. There's no reason students shouldn't be holding math every day! Here are my students discovering cross-sections. Let's share more!! What are your favorite hands-on math moments? Use #HoldingMath or reply here!! #iTeachMath #edusky #mtbos

#ITeachMath. Learn from flavorflav. The norms on this site are to block negativity and nonsense rather than fanning it. This is the way.

Want to really engage your math students? Let all 21 stand at your whiteboards at once & solve a problem that looks like a butt. This will only work if you refer to it as a butt several times before setting them loose on it! They did great! #mtbos #iTeachMath #EDUsky #BuildingThinkingClassrooms

Hi #EduSky! I'm Danielle. I'm a 7th grade math teacher in Massachusetts. I've sorely missed the online PLC that I used to have on social media. So happy to have it back!! <3

If you haven't tried the Uniqueness Game with your Maths class yet I suggest you give it a go. It has worked so well for me with all abilities. Just project it on your whiteboard and wait: https://buff.ly/3AAi5QB #mathschat #mathchat #lessonstarter

Teaching students integers with 2-color counters as an introductory strategy. After, we made number lines. Then, a student pointed out there were patterns with addition and subtraction. Watching them generalize in real time... Got them!! #ITeachMath #mtbos

The risk of verbally sharing your love of pi(e)

Ooh, I'm there too!! Had never heard of Bluesky until Ms. Watson mentioned it!! So happy to connect with math teachers here like I used to do on the app formerly known as twitter!
