I've now made a second Pride Flag Maths task, this time focussing on Coordinates and Equations. Download both tasks from: and please share with anyone who might be interested! Many thanks to @karenshancock with helping come up with ideas for questions.

Since June is Pride Month, I thought I'd make a little activity based on the Progress Pride Flag. It includes some area and perimeter, Pythagoras, percentages, and equation of a straight line. Free to download and edit at:

Really enjoyed using these tasks from @mrshawthorne7 with two different Y10 groups this week. I've never taught straight-line graphs and linear sequences more successfully - & I was doing both simultaneously! So many lovely opportunities for generalising and making connections.

Refined a few ideas I've had for a progression to connect sequences, nth term, gradient and the equation of a line. For my y10's when we are back face to face so there's obviously other modelling and talk going on around this. Full task here:

@AlisonKriel @BernardRand @Sharifahlee4 Hi Alison, I believe this article was originally written in 2002, in part by Simon Sheppard (aka Thomas Sparks), a far-right extremist who has been imprisoned four times for Holocaust denial, inciting racial hatred and more. Are you sure you want to share it?

Really enjoying reading 'Adapting and Extending Secondary Mathematics Activities' by Prestage and Perks. So many different ideas and ways of thinking about tasks. The 'What-if-not' is my favourite bit so far! Thanks to @annemathswatson for the recommendation.

This one is slightly more pretty. Very much enjoyed creating a rather dynamic diagram with @Desmos !

. @Arithmaticks would like this section of @adamboxer1 's book. Point 3 is so well argued in chapter 21 - a formula isn't a method to find some missing quantity, it's the expression of a meaningful relationship between variables. Understanding that relationship must come first.

An idea for introducing speed/distance/time. Reasoning: - Avoids the baggage of familiar units, and calculations that can be done without understanding - Motivates having a concept of speed as a unit ratio (squares per second) - Gives many opportunities for reasoning with speed

I'm trying to come up with 'Which is bigger?' questions that can be answered without calculating either of the options. Here are some of the ideas I have so far. What else could I have?

I'm sad to say that I just took down MrDayMaths. Any content that was on it has either already been moved to or will be moved there in the next few days. Thanks to all those who use and share things on Interwoven Maths - it means a great deal to me.
