I’m a tutor 1-2-1) not a classroom teacher. When I do work with a student on linear graphs I always make the link to nth term. Also, when constructing a table of values I model to my student: “the y co-ordinate is equal to m lots of the x co-ordinate plus c”

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people. You could call it wink murder. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How does the right tear down progressive societies? It starts with a joke | George Monbiot
Whether it’s bloodshed at Glastonbury or starving people on benefits, their ‘irony poisoning’ seeps obscene ideas into the range of the possible, says Guasrdian columnist George Monbiot

I split all the GCSE Maths past papers into odd and even numbers making the perfect 45min homework paper. Then I filmed a tutorial vid for each, linked it with a QR code on the front of each paper & listed the Sparx codes for each question. They’re free and you can download them here: bit.ly/4jyYz8C

In case you aren't in the extensive maths-nerd bubble, here are some nice number properties of 2025 that "everyone" is talking about: * 2025 is a square number (45^2), the only square year most of us will live through * 45=20+25, so (20+25)^2 = 2025 * 1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3+6^3+7^3+8^3+9^3 = 2025

Totally agree. I first saw West Side Story as a school production in 1977 (I was 12). Made a huge impression on me and remains my favourite musical of all time.

This is Alfie on Boxing Day 2021. The only occasion he ever took an interest in a cardboard box… We said goodbye to him in May this year. He was 17 ½. We rescued each other after I was widowed in 2016.
