Fabulous soundscape from @radiolento.bsky.social

I’m a tutor 1-2-1) not a classroom teacher. When I do work with a student on linear graphs I always make the link to nth term. Also, when constructing a table of values I model to my student: “the y co-ordinate is equal to m lots of the x co-ordinate plus c”

As expected, some chilly air has swept back in across the UK thanks to a brief return of the N'ly airstream.. widespread frost expected tonight
🌡📉

Turning milder from the west though next couple of days

Mid teens possible locally Thursday

Yes, yes, yes! I start with horizontal and vertical lines to get students used to the idea of a “rule”

Utterly bonkers game of cricket…🤣

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way. -Doris Lessing, novelist, poet, playwright, Nobel laureate (22 Oct 1919-2013)

Did any spot what’s needed in a quadratic expression for it to factorise into double brackets?

You need to ask!🤣

🎤 Loved our penultimate in conversation event at the Museum in the Park with @nicolatallis.bsky.social recently talking about Young Elizabeth & more.

The final event in this series is on Friday 29th August at 2.30pm when I’ll be talking to @metchick.bsky.social about forecasting the weather ⛅️

I did…! And some smiles. ☺️

Come see me in Stroud on 29th August!

Lots of medium and high cloud so very watery sunshine…just lovely to get some steps in, greet some complete strangers with a cheery “good morning” whilst listening to A Podcast of Unnecessary Detail. ☺️

How does the right tear down progressive societies? It starts with a joke | George Monbiot Whether it’s bloodshed at Glastonbury or starving people on benefits, their ‘irony poisoning’ seeps obscene ideas into the range of the possible, says Guasrdian columnist George Monbiot

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people.
You could call it wink murder.
