🤦‍♂️ It was Jemma Sherwood who first made me realise - about a year ago - the many problems with BIDMAS (and using similar acronyms to teach order of operations) unstoppablelearning.substack…
I remember one episode where a student said it was impossible to expand an expression like 12(p+2) unless you knew the value of p. After a while, I realized that this was because I had told her that you have to evaluate the things in the brackets (parentheses) first.

Is twitter dead? One post, about 30 retweets, and around 5.7k views of the tweet. How many people do you think clicked the link through to the blog? Put your number in the replies 👇
There are lots of views about how to improve our education system. Not enough of them focus on the classroom. We pursue big structural solutions, when we should be looking at how to create calm, quiet, peaceful classrooms. New post, please share! carouselteachlearnlead.subst…

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I have just begun a project for my Lead Practitioner Accreditation about the vocab difficulties in Physics for our EAL students. This is ideal.

Anyone know where I can get some “maths specific” dictionaries online for say Persian to English, Russian to English. I used to use a site that had loads of different languages but didn’t flipping bookmark it!! Any help would be appreciated.
