Interesting discussion today between colleagues about the answer to the square of 81 being positive AND negative and not accepting pupils writing just positive 9.
I would accept just +9 as I am sure I read about the principle of a square number is only positive?
Always great to lead this fundraising event for the school ☺️
Well done team @DuncanrigMaths and also great to see all 3 SLC schools in the top 15 schools across Scotland. Fantastic achievement 👏🏻 @SLCNumeracy @MathsScotland
Sooo proud of my four maths geniuses, 9th place out of 59 schools at the Scottish National Final!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.
We can all help to prevent suicide by starting the conversation and creating a culture of openness, understanding and support.
Remember, it is not always obvious when somebody needs help.

Faculty meeting this evening with English and Maths, great session with lots of interesting ideas. Our theme was modelling, strategies identified and peer observations made across departments. Thanks to Mr Stead and Mrs Taylor for helping me lead this session. @LarkhallAc
Finished my Acting PT Maths role @LarkyMaths today. Second time doing the role and have learnt loads in the role as a middle leader. Couldn’t have done it without the support of the team.
Had a great day at the Mathematics: teaching for understanding conference today. Lots to take away and share with the department @LarkyMaths @LarkhallAc
Great to be part of the team who organises and delivers the SLC Maths Challenge. What a great day of Maths fun.
South Lanarkshire Council Education Resources ‘Enterprising Maths Challenge’ is officially underway. Good luck to all pupils and staff involved. So good to see this event back. @SLCNumeracy #itsSLC #SLC123 @EducationSLC
As it approaches the end of term that yearly reminder to take a note of your school computer and Seemis password will make that first day back after summer that little easier!
Happy to have completed this programme. Thought provoking and allowed me to identify what type or leader I want to become. #EdScotML
