Fab inventive piece from the Early Childhood #Maths Group on how we weave maths into everyday routines through its family maths project. It wants to hear from businesses who want to 'mathsify' their spaces/ menus/ shop displays to promote community maths for young children. Link below

The education sector has to accept that this 'zero tolerance' approach (which some people still claim doesn't exist) is harmful and not a 'solution' especially to low level behaviours. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At the time of its release, in April '88, Tracy Chapman's debut sounded like nothing else on rock radio. You'd hear Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Eagles. And then, Fast Cars. It was a breath a fresh air and reminded me of Joan Armatrading's work. The whole LP has aged well and remains relevant, powerful.

Pattern block play! #PatternBlocks #iTeachMath
The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks.  At the center are four blue and four tan rhombuses surrounded by eight orange squares, four blue and four tan rhombuses. Around this center in the four corners is an orange square surrounded by four green triangles, then four orange squares and eight tan rhombuses. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. At the center is an orange square surrounded by four green triangles, then four orange squares, eight tan rhombuses, and eight blue rhombuses. Around this center are four flower-like arrangements. Each “flower” is made by placing four yellow hexagons and four tan rhombuses around a central orange square. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

Pattern block play! #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath
The main image in the top left shows a radial design created with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. It was built by arranging six identical double hexagons around a central hexagon. Each double hexagon is composed of two heptagons joined together using two darts. The gaps between the double hexagons are filled in with regular hexagons made from six blue rhombuses and twelve green triangles. The first image along the bottom shows the double hexagon made from six gray darts, eight green triangles, and fourteen blue rhombuses. The  rest of the images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.
