Should we conform our use of geometric vocabulary to Euclid rather than persisting with the inconsistent semi-inclusive ahistorical mash up we use now? I mean... **look at "trapeziums" whatever they are supposed to be** #maths #geometry #uk

Things I hate as a teacher: #1 - people coming into my room saying "can I borrow X for a minute?" Actually no X is in this room because he or she needs to learn this maths, please wait for them outside at the end of the lesson and stop interupting me. But I'm not allowed to say that. #MathsToday

Maths teachers! If you are teaching linear equations to year 7, teach them to identify the dominant operation method. It is the only reliable method which doesn't produce serious pedagogical debt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAqx... Lesson 1: www.tes.com/teaching-res...

If your response to the Athena scandal is to chalk it up as one failed trust, you need to think again. Athena happened because the MAT became unaccountable to both parents and teachers. In the end, the only way they could change it was to destroy it. All schools need boards of governors again.

A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Athena? If neither parents nor teachers have power to shape policy at a school, there is a serious governance problem. Major stakeholders should not be forced to campaign and ultimately destroy an organisation just to effect change. Stakeholders should be those making school policy, not fighting it.
