It took over 13 hours to plot this graph by running 5km every day to ensure the constant gradient.

I was born on 8/8/81. I had a friend growing up who was born on 8/8/80. I was gutted when I turned 7 on 8/8/88 and she turned 8.
Just found out that she will turn √2025 in 2025 when I will only be √1936.
@standupmaths "thanks" for bringing this to my attention.

For the avoidance of doubt, teachers are not on strike.
It takes more than teachers to operate a school.
This isn't just about those in the job being ridiculously underpaid but the fact that there is a critical understaffing problem due to underpay and poor working conditions ..

The inclusion policy is great in theory but is stretching PSAs so they can't function effectively. They are having to upskill as specialists for all kinds of needs. They get paid hourly for short days but many work beyond and don't take breaks as that's when kids need them most

When will those with power realise that our education system is in crisis. I am not seeing this as a priority for any political party. Ignorance, denial or impossible to fix?!

Final results day. Something I will certainly miss in years to come
Congratulations to everyone who achieved the grades that they deserved
For those who underachieved, reflection on failure makes us stronger. All opportunities are still available. Even if the path is different

Mr Fletcher retweeted
From the 2023 N5 Maths exam review by @MrFletcherMaths:
“Overall, the proceedings were so formulaic, it would be unsurprising if they were written by an AI algorithm. Devoid of reasoning and problem solving, we are in danger of producing a generation of algorithm followers.”
Tongues are already wagging after reading @MrFletcherMaths’ review of the National 5 Maths exam in this week’s #MathsNewsletter! 💬
My review of the #National5Maths exam has been published in the @aap03102 newsletter. Check your inboxes or ask Chris for a copy.
My swansong to teaching will take the form of a National 5 exam review in this week's @aap03102 newsletter this Friday. Drop Chris a message if you would like to be on the mailing list.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
No matter what your exam results are, there's still plenty of time to create the future you dream of.
