Was in an art museum gift shop earlier, in Milan, and came across these round dice. Never seen them before, but found the idea an interesting hook for teaching around fairness when rolling dice. They're weighted, so it lands without rolling off the table!

I bought one because they look fantastic

Been getting into some A-Level lesson planning for September and got this fantastic AI summary from Google to a question I wanted to check on

Thank you for the clarification, very helpful stuff

Took a small group who attend Maths Club weekly to the Science Museum today. Had booked "Power Up" not looking at what it was. Turns out it was a gaming room with 160 retro to modern consoles to play. Was in heaven!
Great experience for the kids in the mix of visiting galleries

Following GCSE Stats exam today, some students asked for revision on the regression line.

Playing around with AI, asked it to create an interactive lesson - got this, which I think is incredible. Works better on a desktop. Interactive.

Been updating mathboardwalk.com
Few new topic worksheets, will be useful for the new school year, potentially for some last-minute revision too. Planning to upload more

Also planning on uploading an in-between paper once Paper 1 has been sat next week

Asked Google to generate a video of a typical Maths lesson, and it gave this fantastic video - the teacher starts explaining, then abruptly walks away. Made me laugh🤣 (has audio)

A brief foray back into this place to offer a few GCSE Statistics resources.
There'll be another revision paper before the end of the week, and a between papers paper for this year in early June.

In #mathstoday Y12, we were comparing sets of data. Used some fantastic examples from the TS1 AMSP course to talk about why context is important.

Real data about age/ ticket class of survivors on the Titanic. Why higher median for 1st class? Outliers realistic?
Lots of interesting conversation!

Gave my Y9s this diagram for #MathsToday. Picked a few numbers for a,b,c and then their task was to work out all the lengths and angles.

Next lesson we'll cut it out and reassemble it and they'll discover that they've secretly been doing 3D trig!

In #MathsToday with Year 8, we were finding the surface area of cubes and cuboids. Plenty of scaffolding in the first task to give the students confidence before moving on to more standard questions.
