Conversation has moved on to that puzzle where there's two envelopes containing £x and £2x, then on to TV game shows and then the Prisoner's dilemma.

Be fair to Liz Truss. A Prime Minister cannot resign after 42 days. It has to be 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67 etc

We've talked about the puzzles from the Shout, flipped through a GCSE maths paper (and moaned about the wording in several places), and debated what "I drank 3 ½ pints" means

The sign of a good MathsJam: we had so much fun we forgot to tweet it! Puzzles from the Shout and elsewhere, @stecks' new YouTube video leading on to chat about films and TV shows, plans for an upcoming themed Shout sheet, and a 4-player game of Quoridor.

I should have concluded, of course, that the process has shown, at least for GCSE Maths, that teachers have been able to provide CAGs which have been honest and accurate and that’s a huge testament to everyone’s professionalism. We’ll hear no teacher bashing about this! 7/7

It's been a week since we welcomed our #ExpertMiddleLeaders to their 2019 Teaching Leaders residential. Click below to see some of the highlights 👇 nitter.gq/i/moments/116917161004…

Seems @andrealeadsom has blocked us (see reply). Likely as a result of us sharing this video of her views on #Prorogation and saying any self respecting politician would resign in the circumstances. Please whatever you do, do not RT WIDELY, she really does not like it!

The reach of this 500-strong #ExpertMiddleLeaders cohort can make real headway in helping educators serving pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to keep getting better. @TomRees_77 reflects on creating a programme informed by the best available evidence: bit.ly/2Lieyst

This is the most important graphic from the @EducEndowFoundn metacognition report imo. When teaching a problem solving strategy, follow these steps and you won't go wrong.
