Third cycle of A Level teaching and I *think* I'm getting the hang of the marking process. I think. Maybe?

Top tip for any trainee teachers out there on #edusky: don't pay full price for new ties! Pop into your local charity shop/thrift store and find some unique bargains instead. These were a quid each in our local hospice shop!

I haven't been engaging with much maths over the break, but I have just finished reading 'Math in Drag' by Kyne Santos. An excellent read which connects queer identity and the joy of maths! Here is a thought provoking quote from the end of the book, which I finished today #MathsToday

In #mathstoday I used this VERY juicy frequency trees question with my high ability year 10s: a cocktail of dividing in a given ratio, calculating percent of and percentage increase.

Here's an interesting observation from one of my year 10s: the surface area of a sphere with radius r matches the surface area of 3/4 of a sphere with radius r (kind of like a pac-man shape thing). My brain, literally on the floor.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Radical Rest argues that it is possible to restructure our political systems by rejecting neoliberal capitalism, prioritising rest, addressing racial disparity, and seeking environmental justice. If you are a self defined activist, I think it would be worth your while to read.

Books like this are super important, and it is really quite lovely to start to see intersectional narratives being published and - even better - being available in my local library. Definitely would recommend if you want to learn more about (one of the many) trans experiences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
