Hello old and new friends! I finally made it to the greener pasture. Lovely to see you 🙏🏼
Are there any tips/insights you have about the place? Are we 'skeeting' now?
I'll mostly engage in posts education, inc & not limited to #maths. I'm a formerly maths anxious, now maths excitable, teacher 🙂

It’s me! I assign it for my pre-service teachers to listen to and reflect on.
It was wonderful to hear that this conversation from last year has become a curriculum resource for pre-service maths teachers in at least 1 university.
