Any other ideas? S how to use it here - youtu.be/E8_T6nHm_ZE

2) Decide on your theme for the class. (Check out the tips to make this more effective)
3) Everyone enters their Haiku into poemblender.com
4) Click the 'blend button' to see a new Haiku every time
5) Q: How many possible Haikus in YOUR class?

April 17th is International Haiku Day!
So, here's something for your mathematics class! Inspired by Raymond Queneau. magazine.1000libraries.com/the-man-who-...
Maybe work with your colleagues in English?
1) Class discusses Haikus...

Teach Mathematics? Teach English?

How about making a 'virtual' Haiku flip book. How many poems would it take to see a poem that is likely to have never been seen before and will never be seen again?

Thanks Dan - I forgot to add the sharing to that challenge. And will check that caching issue again as it seems to rear its head quite regularly.

User of Timbles can now choose from four daily challenges. Daily, Daily extreme, Daily factor hunt, Daily factor hunt extreme! @dan-fuzz.bsky.social

Mathematics teacher? Go check them out.

I thought you would! Thanks for the comments

Alright. Just one more then…

Something for my mathematics educator friends. No more viral ‘math’ videos!

Going back to Cockcroft - discussion is an essential pet of mathematics education. Great to see so much more of an emphasis. You can’t script a good discussion! But you can prepare and practice for them. It’s a skill so many have lost.

When you hit submit. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll make a change here. So that when the last number is entered, THAT counts as the submit. What do you think?

Superb

Give them Timbles.com and then they can do the 67x table!

Gotta do more in here. Timbles.com just got better! Now it’s the the ONLY multiplication app that asks users to reflect on their practice and rewards them for doing so. On patterns, questions, justifications. Take a look at the blog. timbles.com/blog/multipl...

Thanks Dan, really useful info. Bouncy… what do you mean? As for mistakes - that’s ok IMO. Because you can always correct it and ‘next time’ it’ll be better - maybe a little annoying but for us, mistakes are not a bad thing and there to learn from.

@realclaudetaylor.bsky.social just wondering - as just created track90.co.uk - are you still doing the 90/180 day thing? Would love to know what you think. Especially the survival sentences. And I love Paris. Met my wife there. Loved Parc Monceaux on a sunny morning.

What's with all the awful 'Sway' stuff I am seeing? anyone got any good examples? Think I prefer Digitalbrain from 1999 !

🎓 Because kids graduate.
🧠 Minds grow.
💡 Mathematics can be fun without dressing it up in chocolate.
👉 Will you, will your school, step up to multiplication mastery with Timbles? Give it a go right now for free-forever, or sign up for the full schools service. Read the blogs for the reasoning.

In Timbles, the mathematics itself is the game.
The thrill comes from solving puzzles, cracking the challenge, building mastery.
No disguises needed. Every day brings fresh challenges. Every practice becomes a learning opportunity, not an exercise in failure.
Quick to play, surprisingly addictive.

For younger kids, dressing up or singing songs may make maths less scary.
But as they get older? That can feel feel childish.
Learners are ready for a real challenge, one that - like counting sticks - respects their intelligence.
That’s where Timbles comes in.

Remembering multiplication facts doesn’t need dressing up like chocolate-covered broccoli. They can be fun in themselves. Well, that’s what I think and that’s one of the reasons I built Timbles.com

That’s what makes Timbles formative, not just summative.
It turns mistakes into memory-building moments.
Try it with your class - or for yourself: Use the groups feature to challenge your friends and colleagues.
Child-friendly not childish! (3/3)
👉 timbles.com

Timbles is different.
When a learner gets an answer wrong, they MUST correct it themselves before continuing. And can take as many attempts as they wish.
No skipping. No giving up.
Every error becomes a chance to learn. (2/3)

Most times tables apps treat mistakes like failure. ❌
You get a cross, 'maybe' the right answer and move on.
That’s a summative test, not learning. (1/3)
