Composite functions anyone? I like to share this one each time I use it. Here's a dynamic version on @geogebra.org

The claim of 30000 combinations in Cold Rock Ice Cream doesn't feel like a lot, does it? Anyone want to do the combinations for me?! I wonder where that comes from. 6CR is already 38760. #MathsToday

In #mathatoday I read @kityates.bsky.social and the kiddo was introduced to decimal numbers at the pool depth. He stood at what we assumed was 1.6m (another linear scale Kit)!

On LinkedIn I shared a project for our project week. Plat Diviseur. Applied mathematics at a moment of expertise, the students can measure angles and divide and therefore in year 8 they put these skills into practice (with a little about constructions too)

"wow a rectangle, hey wait a minute I can see 3 twos!" In an exaggerated surprised voice.
Love this kiddo v. much, father son week while mum is away and moments like this are so special. #iteachmaths but in #mathstoday I was teaching this little man to explore...I know what I can do, he says.

Family fun. Sometimes I wonder if I am cheating the system. What about the kids who arrive at school who haven't played with mathematics very much?
Do I contribute to a disparity and raising of an artificial bar? With time being squeezed at schools, how can we promote more of this home?

"I know it's 50, we don't say 5 - 2, that would be silly. We say fifty two"

In #MathsToday we were talking about Chekhov's gun (the idea that, in a play, if a gun is introduced early on then it must be fired at some point later) The Chekhov's gun in our question was that the area of a triangle was 8. We hadn't used it yet, so we had to figure out a way to introduce it.

In #MathsToday my kiddo beat me at SKYJO. He's 5 and happily adding up those negatives. Today I showed him pairs that add to zero.
He has been counting to -2 since he was 3 because of the lift in our apartment block...

www.geogebra.org/calculator/s... @GeoGebra version of this one [email protected]. I'm not happy with the way I changed both the angle and side at the same time. My Friday brain not working out the logic to separate it!

A little introduction to the ratios that have a special name in #MathsToday. Which other side lengths give the same ratio?
What other ratios could we look at (link to @standupmaths.bsky.social new book, great stuff.)
What's going on with the rounding here?
