Red, pink and orange quarter circles meet at a point inside a white quarter circle. The red one’s area is 12. What’s the area of the orange one?
Four quarter circles. What’s the area of the orange one?

i was going to say the same, except it was a colleague not child who won me over.
Depends on the class and the teacher and time of day?
Low independent but enough to make sure students don't become codependent...this can be partially achieved by mixing up pairs etc. and other activities than just independent practice?
What is the aim of the independent practice for you?
had a lovely morning doing maths (sharing integral resources) with some fabulous ITT students then popped in here for ceiling appreciation and a bit of culture.
Definitely worth the early start!
Last-minute opportunity!
Due to a cancellation, 1 teacher & up to 10 female-identifying Year 12 A level maths students can now attend our Balancing the Equation day in Manchester on 26 June.
Spaces will go fast – don’t miss out!

We have added some new revision tests for AS and A level Pure!
Head to the revision section on Integral of your course to find them and have a go. We are excited by them and will be asking for feedback soon as we plan for the applied versions of these soon!

Loads of potential in this article for some good critical maths thinking...

Has anyone tried out the new pure revision quizzes on Integral?
I checked the weather as I left which suggested thunder later...but beautiful so far...
I heard the frisbee is from the frisbee pie company and students playing catch with the empty pie tins. It is a nice story so completely unverified by me. I do know Frisbee is a brand, a bit like Hoover.
This is like my mum too. No chance to swap a few xp boosts whilst the quest last, it is already over.
So can/should we say g is acceleration due to gravity and weight is the force due to gravity?
Is similar true for other "forces" like magnetism or is it a uniquely gravitational debate?
How would you talk about what gravity is? An attraction?

Word of the day is ‘erumpent’ (17th century), which describes buds and blossom that are bursting forth with vigour. Can also be used of energetic humans.
I've been fortunate enough to visit some colleagues to see some amazing different lessons around my school and in one of the schools I'm working with. Strikes me we really should plan and teach together more. It really is the best CPD. Teachers need more time to do it. #MathsToday
There are some subsidies and bursaries well worth checking out for this amazing conference! (Scroll down on the fees page to find the details of discounts and funded places.)
nice when some mathsing turns up as a good procrastination device for some (other) mathsing?!
thanks for the distraction
Or 'within an edge length 12 equi. triangle'? (intersection of the two triangles)
So sides 2,3,4,5,6,7 could be achieved from an intersection of a 12 and a 15 equi. triangle...
n, n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4, n+5 at the intersection of a 3n+9 and a 3n+6 equi traingle?
Turns out the incredible @natalievmei.bsky.social with cute puppies is the absolute winner for smashing through some stats and coming out full of joy.
...and the breakfast was pretty darned good!
Great to get to see the amazing @susannemallett.bsky.social in action today! Feeling inspired by everyone at the hub meeting.
The day exceeded the breakfast.
An appropriate place for breakfast before getting to maths for a day.
Working away from home...definitley not being distracted by the different work environment.
"well there's a constitution and they jump round a lot."
My mum's summary at the Interval having organised the theatre but not knowing anything, other than the name, of what we were going to see.
We all enjoyed it very much.
