This was my starter yesterday to get pupils to appreciate the importance of the centre of rotation.
And for the impossible one, why we also need translations.

Had a thought provoking question to start #calculus class last week. Students are practicing area between curves but when I asked them to optimize the distance between curves they had to really stop and think about the problem solving strategy. Inspired by ssddproblems.com. #ITeachMath #MathsToday
In #MathsToday we're having fun with proof by induction. Towers of Hanoi (interactive here: towersofhanoi.info/Play.aspx) plus this interactive version of the L-tiling problem I vibe-coded this morning: ukr-reader.github.io/MathsApps/l_...
New simultaneous equations resources:
✨Finding the number of solutions to simultaneous equations using graphs - activity and practice strips
✨ Finding coordinates of intersections using algebra practice strips
Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/simultaneous-equations

I'm collecting some (unserious) data for teaching purposes. If you have a spare minute, please fill out this anonymous opinion poll for me: forms.gle/M5C91iQxiWYC...

We didn't have power all afternoon at school. Luckily, you don't need power to arrange these definite integral dominos into a circle. A great way to start #calculus class. Thanks for sharing @math-problems.bsky.social! #ITeachMath #MathsToday
"Your calculator is broken and will no longer do trig calculations. cos(1°) = 0.999848 to 6sf. Calculate cos(7°)."
