I'm sorting through the #BeachSpectres photos. This one's a nice desktop background.

Some great #illustratingMath in the making, wish I could be there.

I've already seen a couple of seals out there! @christianp I hope you've trained them to make #BeachSpectres

#BeachSpectres day 1 went really well. I heard that we might have completed 100 level-metatiles, which would be around 800-900 tiles stamped in the sand. The unusually gloomy weather didn't get us down. Same again tomorrow!

Packing for #BeachSpectres. Starting with the most important item.

Whitley Bay looks ready for some #BeachSpectres

This weekend, TMiP members and others will be joining Christian Lawson-Perfect for our MEGA Grant-funded project for 2026, #BeachSpectres! To find out more and see how it's going, check the hashtag and visit beachspectres.co.uk

#MathsInMuseums klaxon: someone who isn't me found some maths in a museum! Even better: they were approached by a @nationaltrust.org.uk person who *asked if they were interested in maths* & talked about the site's mathematical history! More of this sort of thing! www.threads.com/@alistaircar...

Great post by Tom about a great session that sadly I was only able to enjoy a little bit of at the time. Have a read, and if you're spending half term exploring any museums, be sure to keep your maths hat on, and share the maths that you've spotted with Tom @teakayb.mathsy.space
