About a year ago I invited #MathsTeachers to respond to a short survey that asked them to evaluate a calculation and provide an explanation for their answer. I have _finally_ written something up, with plenty of context about why I think it's important: https://tommaths.blogspot.com/2023/08/teachers-and-bidmas-bodmas-pemdas-gems.html

Hi, I'm Tom!

I'm a #maths #teacher and a #museum #educator who works as a #freelancer attempting to bring the two together by encouraging and empowering #cultural organisations to explore the #mathematics in their stories, objects & exhibitions.

I play #guitar, run the local #MathsJam, try to keep up with #movies, and have a habit of smooshing bits of different interests and hobbies together to see what happens. I'm a fan of the Oxford comma, but not necessarily consistent in its use.

How many UK #MathsTeachers do I know who'd be interested in an informal online chat with a major #STEM education organisation who recognises that they're not quite where they want to be with the "M" bit, and want to find out what they can do to support maths teaching?

Why did 4 and 6 hate 5?

Because 5 was mean to them.
