I do a wee thing to memorialize mathematicians and math educators we've lost each year. Usually famous folks, but wonder if you've lost a math teacher, mathematician or math educator? Share something about them with me and I'll try to memorialize them. Or just boost your story.

Hi @Fender I just bought the fender acoustic preverb pedal. It came without a power supply and I can't seem to find out what I should get. 9v cables I have arent working. Is it something to do with polarity? Can you help please? Thanks

This week! From chapter 2 about cones! With a given piece of paper/card, who can make the cone with the biggest volume ? So much goes on here… should it be short and fat or tall and skinny? Is making the cone with the biggest volume the same as making sure you use as much 1/2

Of the card as possible? How can I fit the base and the other bit on the same piece of paper? What shape is the other bit? Always rewarding and sets us up well for following work problem. Solving with mensuration of cones. Lots of variations for all ages…. 2/3

Today in the #MLCUoA some students asked why the formula for the sum of the first n squares was 1/6 n(n 1)(2n 1). I said there ought to be a geometrical reason, and ran to get the Cuisenaire rods. Here is a recreation of what we figured out on the fly.

the numbers from 1 to 50 cut out and a giant whiteboard! What would you ask? #somanypossibilities my favourite today was 'can you split them in to two piles that have the same sum?' #mathchat #mathschat #iteachmath #mtbos #mathscpdchat
