2026 is the year I'm introducing my 6yo to the Star Wars films.
He's got plenty of Star Wars Lego and has watched some of Young Jedi, but never seen anything else.
I've decided to go in release order so he can appreciate the world building (which makes the prequels so good IMO).
We need to be careful how we teach this as
32.7% = 32.7/100 = 3/10+2/100+7/1000
I'm fairly certain they wouldn't get the mark.
I always say they can use decimals in their working but not their final answer.
A decimal is equivalent to a fraction thus becoming
4.5/20 = (9/2)/20
Glad you enjoyed it Amie!
I also really enjoyed your session on Negatives, particularly the 180 degree turn for vectors showing our flipping of the counters. Game changer of an explanation.
Place value fun with @mrtaylormaths2.bsky.social - looking at how we can show decimal and percentage equivalents.
Please ignore me
x = 9 and x = -2
With x = 9 being the solution in this context
Could you make one that is solvable with an integer solution?
I like this question a lot, I'm going to use it with my year 9's for their Histogram recap lesson.
And conversely
13×326+2=4240
424 +4(0) = 424
42 + 4(2) = 50
5 + 3(0) = 5
So it does work when you iterate it too!
13×326=4238
423 +4(8) = 455
45 +4(5)= 65
6 + 4(5) = 26
2 + 4(6) = 26
Then doom loop
I'm guessing that if you're not sure if the abc+4d number is in the 13s then you can do ef+4g etc h+4i = 13×?

Which base are we in? 🫣
The absolute last thing schools need right now - while dealing with an extremely tight funding settlement and rising poverty - is a radical overhaul of the exam system.

Rehearsal is so important and this post gives some great pointers!
It's what you do *and* the way that you do it that matters!*
In coaching, get the most from the powerful mechanism of rehearsal by using two key techniques:
👉 Scaffold rehearsal
👉Just-in-time feedback

One of my all-time favourite Substacks that gets to the nitty gritty of instructional coaching.
Talking about *mental models*? Make sure you know what you mean.
It’s a popular term often used loosely.
They aren’t just bits of knowledge. They’re situation-sensitive tools for thinking.

Another fantastic post. Literally did some of this on Thursday.
Next time it'll be even better.

Just up to the William Marshal chapter now 🤓
What a second half of the season we've had!
I've wondered the same.
Whether it's something to do with the algorithm or culture or demographics of BlueSky.
What are the other Twitter alternatives like?
