Maths For Life are so proud to have not only attended, but to have received a highly commended certificate for our work in the category of Resource for SEND 2024! Thank you @nasen_org for hosting such a fantastic event. #nasenAwards #lovemaths

@themathsmum glad to have received a package of your resources-looking forward to starting to use them with children I work with tomorrow!
I can do the maths @realDonaldTrump - “I’m going to charge you half what you charge us.” For the UK… half of 10% is 5%… not 10%
If you need help, I run a Maths for Life Programme that helps those who struggle with maths. I’m happy to offer it to you. I’ll pay the tariff.

14 years ago I joined a special school with the label PMLD stuck on me and was given a sensory curriculum. This week I started University at @BathSpaUni studying Creative Writing!

So proud of my younger brother as he heads to Paris as part of the Swim Ireland team. He loves a statistic just like me!!!
The team have spent two weeks compiling and analysing all the data produced by the Oxfordshire County Council Maths For Life pilot.
We are now delighted to be in a position to share the results with a wider audience. They are even better than we thought! @bphillipsonMP
Very inspired by the business acumen of these Year 6s. Thank you Marie-Claire & Shelley for the opportunity to judge.
As part of their @LifelabBusiness course our talented Year 6 pupils showcased their business and leadership skills in an epic pitching event!
Thank you to judges Karen McGuigan, @themathsmum, Caroline King @carolineswardrobe and Katie Lucas-Woulfe from @TheMarvellousGroup.

Great to see @sallyephillips and Gillian from @DSAInfo putting the record straight on @BBCbreakfast re neck instablitiy and gyms. Natty too was asked for a physio check before being allowed to join our local gymnastics club. Utterly pointless. Time for the guidance to be updated.
Going on @BBCBreakfast to talk about #bouncegate - Olly being asked to produce medical letter to be allowed to jump at @oxygenfreejump Acton. #DisabilityTwitter - I feel badly informed about ‘papers please’ social exclusion. Grateful for your texts & msgs 2 prog.
