Hi @sparksmaths.bsky.social I’m trying to get a free point in Geogebra to animate to move towards a fixed point. Feels like it should be easy but it’s driving me mad! Can you help. Thanks!

Fantastic afternoon filming my latest episode of the Twinkl 'Leading With' podcast with Cath Moore and Philip Chaffe from MEI and Matthew Lucas from @ucl.ac.uk about their project focusing on engaging Y10 pupils with university whilst raising maths attainment. Cannot wait for this one to come out!

In #mathstoday I showed my students what a 95% confidence interval actually means by using Excel and taking 100 random samples and seeing that the population mean was only within the interval 95% of the time.

Today the inestimable @studymaths.bsky.social led our student teachers on a fab day of insights. It was so good! Including prime factorisation, ratio tables, task design, completion tables and #blankisbest. Wonderful stuff! Thanks Jonny 😁

Does anyone know, in Geogebra can a variable name include a variable itself? Eg if I have A_1, A_2, A_3 etc can I create a slider ‘n’ to call A_n. TIA. @sparksmaths.bsky.social @mikegeogebra.bsky.social
