On my way home from an inspiring week spent with maths teachers and educators in South Africa. Thanks to AMESA Congress 2025 for inviting me to be one of your plenary speakers.
Highly topical for me. On my way home from my first ever visit to a free and demicratic South Africa. As an anti-apartheid activist in the eighties, I might have been one of those branded a terrorist.
Invited to Johannesburg to present and discuss ideas from my research with teacher advisors from all nine provinces in South Africa. A privilege to spend time with such an inspiring group of colleagues.
Hello BSRLM Members. We have moved to Bluesky so please follow us here.
It’s a relief the employer has backed away from the brutal plan to cut 700 jobs. They must now rule out compulsory redundancies - says @ducuuo.bsky.social

In #mathstoday, inspired by @colinfoster77.bsky.social’s Mathematical Etudes, we’ve been combining mathematical thinking and fluency practice 😁 lots of rich conversations all round. Not bad for the last day of a very long term! 😴
While millions of people are already struggling to afford the basics, the extreme wealth of the super-rich is soaring.
And now the government is cutting both international aid and vital support for people in the UK.
📢 It's time to tax the super-rich!

We deserve explanations!
Our response to Labour’s cruel and self-defeating austerity statement:
“Today marks a new low in the fight against poverty and inequality as the Government chooses to cut vital international aid and social security support for millions of people struggling at home and around the world while protecting the soaring wealth of millionaires and billionaires." Anna Marriott, Oxfam senior policy advisor
REACTION: Oxfam response to the Chancellor’s Spring Statement

Yes! We couldn't agree more. Maths is everywhere 🤩 #MoreThanJustNumbers
Green ribbon that reads "UK aid cut" with scissors cutting through it. Text below reads, "Why should people already struggling pay the price? A 2% tax on the super-rich could raise £24 billion a year."
The UK government plans to cut aid and social security, that helps fight inequality and poverty. But there is a fairer way.
Join us and write to your MP urging them to pressure Kier Starmer to reverse these devastating cuts now.

Text reads: Tell the Chancellor TAX THE SUPER-RICH. Join the rally. Tues 25 March 17.00 - 19.00. Outside the Treasury, 1 Horse Guards Road, SW1A 2HQ.
Inequality is soaring, the climate is collapsing, and public services are at breaking point.
On Tuesday 25 March, 5pm, we’ll be joining this rally outside the Treasury to demand the Chancellor taxes extreme wealth to invest in people and planet.
See you there? #makethempay

Rally outside the court meeting at Dundee university. Still waiting to hear about the recovery plan or the number of jobs being cut #SaveHE #StoptheCuts stopthecutspetition.org.uk
How is it possible that one of the wealthiest countries can’t reverse poverty?
How did the NHS become so underfunded that it struggles to provide essential care on time?
