So the LCM of 3 and 4 would be 0?

Is that Markham Moor Services on the A1 ?- used to see it on the way to visiting relatives when I was growing up

Far From The Madding Crow

There may have been a mild profanity in there as well!

I remember an article which I think was in Equals magazine from the MA - a pupil solved it by saying “you put the flaps on it”

Stunning!

Boatman - the first 50 reportedly makes a great present or holiday read, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show the story behind the Shipping Forecast puzzle, on display on Brighton beach. Reviewing Boatman - the first 50, Alan Connor (The Guardian's crossword editor and the brains behind many of BBC2’s quiz programs) says: "This is one to savour. Boatman's puzzles are witty and ingenious. It is an extraordinary pleasure to read how his unique mind works. The first 50 is a book I never knew I needed in my life. Gift it to yourself and to the word-lovers in yours". Hugh Stephenson (Alan’s predecessor at The Guardian) says: "This is a unique book of crosswords" and Henry Morris: "a Boatman crossword is like a theme park. Each daunting line is a rollercoaster ... He scares you witless. But you can't wait to do it all over again".

Boatman - the second 50 contains another 50 puzzles from The Guardian, with five bonus puzzles previously only available online and including puzzles, solutions and the ideas and stories behind them, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show one of the stories, which is accompanied by a picture of a large cow. Reviewing Boatman - the second 50, Gyles Brandreth says: "If you want a fiendish crossword, you want the best - which means you want Boatman, because he is the best" and Brian Bilston: "Cracking crosswords - each puzzle a delightful daily workout for the brain and a welcome tonic for the soul".

It's the Seasonal Reposting Competition! Repost this over the weekend, and on Sunday one lucky person will win a signed copy of one of my books. For you or the #crossword addict in your life: 50 fiendish @theguardian.com #puzzles and all the stories behind them:

Or a Fibonacci sequence!

Seems more logical to me to duplicate the trapezium to form a rectangle, rather than split it into triangles.

An air flier?

Multiply your sentence through by four: one is three!

If you are a maths teacher, would you have 5 min to complete a survey? One of my wonderful ECTs is doing an MA and is researching the skills that students need when they enter the world of work. Thanks in advance

I really like how this initially feels like you don’t have the right information to work it out, but leads to a pleasing link between area and perimeter

… until they’re not there anymore to ask for help and you would like nothing better than to fix the printer one more time.

Midpoint of AC forms 3,4,5 triangle and is 5 units from B, so angle in semi-circle

There was a nice task in the old Folens scheme that asked students to construct triangles when given different angles / sides - including ambiguous cases, looking for congruence and similarity

I agree, but there has always been the tension for me between the restrictions of following a text book and the flexibility of worksheets with the accompanying costs ( time, printing etc). Booklets allow a pick and mix approach eg the OAT resources and also give some consistency across a department

Are booklets more prevalent in other subjects and have been introduced to maths as a result?

I've dabbled with booklets but only for a week or two's work, particularly when there's write-on worksheets that I know I'm going to use. Planning a sequence of lessons is always helpful but there has to be flexibility so that you can adapt to your pupils.
