Ok. Time for me to #trymathslive with this problem from @Cshearer41 …

I feel I need to clarify my position: I am not saying that I think the concept of extension and enrichment in maths (or any subject) is necessarily a good thing.
Maths Association SA retweeted
I’m wondering if teachers talk about “enrichment” or “extension” in school subjects other than maths. Like, is there such a thing as “English extension activities”?

If the length of a matchstick is 1 unit, arrange 12 matchsticks into a single closed shape with an area of exactly 4 square units.
The 12 Matchsticks puzzle comes from recent MTC presenter @DavidKButlerUoA - check out his blog on it here: bit.ly/3o6zrIu

Why is it that "hints" in maths assignments only seem to make sense after you've finished the problem?!

This is an interesting question:
f(x) is a cubic polynomial, and g(x) is a quartic polynomial.
They can have up to 5 turning points and up to 3 inflection points between them.
Are all numbers up to 5 and 3 possible? For those that are possible, how?

A short thread for leaders of teachers to reflect on. What and who do you value in teaching? How do you convey that to others?

Thanks to the Maths Assoc SA for the high quality pd work they do for schools and teachers right across our state. For the last two years we have funded MASA to expand their work in regional and remote communities. It was great to hear about the positive impacts they’re having!

An intriguing window. Does this fit with the #mathphoto19 theme, #circles?

#MASA2019 Although I’m no fan of mnemonics, I am surprised that this one gor unit circle is called SA Tennis Club in SA. (Neither clockwise nor anticlockwise). In W.A., often “All Stations to Claremont”. What do others use?
