Delighted to see Hannah Fry's debut on Celebrity Traitors last night. Doing it for all the mathematicians and self-confessed nerds out there. She's one of our own.

A sequences begins: 4, 6, 10, 16, ... Is it a quadratic or Fibonacci style sequence? Is it possible to be given five (or more) terms of a sequence and still be undecided?

Not forgetting that every 20 hours it needs charging and then you forget to charge and can’t then tell the time !! Bring back analogue / or a digital Casio that has a battery life of about 37 years !!

I mean when people are told to give up smoking they always say this is how much money you now have, but I’m guessing yours is all in books !! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Just had a delightful time talking about some Checkpoints (including this one), and a few tangential thoughts, with an enthusiastic group of Maths teachers here at #MathsConf41. Having discussed Checkpoints twice now, I should probably find something different to talk about for next time.
A slide from NCETM Checkpoints. Year 7 arithmetic procedures with fractions. Checkpoint 16 greater fractions. Four pairs of fractions to compare.

I'll be doing this during period 5 (last session before #MathsConf41 ends)! This presentation should hopefully deliver powerful discussions to all participants on why we should use multiple choice questions in #ALevelMaths So the big question is: Should all exam boards adopt this and why?

I can’t make BCME as I am in Malta. I made partial appearance at BCME 7 in 2010, went to BCME 8 in 2014 and BCME 9 in 2018 … but I really need a second Malta holiday this year !!

That’s not many. I have definitely missed at least 1 London and Scotland because I was masterclassing !! The one that didn’t happen. And maybe 1 or two more… but I’ve never been good at keeping track.
