Packed room as usual for @mathsjem.bsky.social session reintroducing the wonderful Don Steward problems. Five years since we lost him.

Is it just me or is the Pearson exam wizard broken? All day it has been stalling here:

It’s probably her husband again. Rolls around on the floor when she’s not looking. I love how detailed the procedure is for the soggy basement. I feel like if you need to be told to do all that you’re probably not the best person to do it in the first place! Should probably say, “Google a tradesman”

There's a whole genre of Very Clever Historical Men with such wild takes on women's bodies. It's like they're speculating about aliens.
"Hmm the womb is odd let's all speculate."
"Or we could ask a woman?"
(All men shudder)
"No we shall not do that."

I found it very affecting. It made me think about how fragile is our whole infrastructure, how little it would take for the whole thing to collapse. I’d give it 8/10 at least.

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Nov 19

Definitely! A mark and a merit!

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Nov 17

Oh no I’ve read it - it’s on my top 20 or so!

Wait til you see me when the plane lands! Clapping, whooping, hollering.

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Nov 17

Yes this is on my list also

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Nov 17

I don’t think you HAVE to stand up though.

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Nov 17

I’m not a big standing ovation person but it is hard not to be infected by the desire to congratulate and thank people who’ve performed for me with such energy and enthusiasm. So I just join in. Why not?

Is it lyszkowski? My y11 LOVE it.

Am I missing something or can you not send pictures on the Bluesky messaging thingy? (Useful for stuff like “this is the train I’m getting, so you can book the same one” etc)

Bonfire party. I lack the ability to resist marshmallows, especially charred ones.

Maths teachers - does anyone know which 2D shape names are needed for Functional Skills level 1? I'm assuming the same as GCSE but I can't find a definitive list anywhere 😭 Please repost!

It has not. But I *am* quiet when I don’t know people, aren’t I?

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Aug 27

Thank you! I did that but now if I go on my profile and tap “feeds” it still says “you have no feeds”. I guess I’ll figure it out over time 🤔

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Aug 26

I can’t work out how to!

Megan Guinan @meganguinan.bsky.social · Aug 26

I am SO grateful to have had all my kids in the 90s. Youngest born in 2000 and just squeaked through before all this became an issue. I know we’d not have handled it well, as slightly lazy and permissive parents. Good luck with it 🤞

Like someone’s cat looking SOOOOOOPER cute 😂😍😍😍
