Made up a set of rules and rolled some dice to decide how this plant would grow. I never did get that five of a kind, as expected, but I was still hopeful! 🌱🍀🌿
I’m not a teacher anymore.
I loved my teaching career so much - it kept my life & heart full for a decade
Maths Education is still the most important thing I can do for the world right now, just not from a classroom!
It’s scary, and I hope you can continue to support me 💗
Happy Tau Day!
Classic sine wave spaghetti project in praise of Tau 🙌✨
P.s. if I can get 40 more followers today I’ll have Tau thousand (a τ-sand) followers 🥰 tell your friends!
Maths will always cheer me up,
and art helps me breathe 🧘♀️
Enjoy this Magic Knight’s Tour
(Cute pets and fun Maths facts very welcome in the replies 💗)
I hope you can take time to show appreciation to the things you love,
no matter how nerdy they are!
Today, an art piece to celebrate aperiodic tilings and the living fossil Ginkgo Biloba 💗
@Ayliean
Wonderful! Thank you so much for this! You made me drop everything and try to do this with code... after that, I wanted to try to see the transitions as you go from n->2n, n->3n... one thing led to another,

was lying around, and then...

It’s new tattoo day tomorrow, here’s the Maths of my last one 🌻
Get your suggestions in for anything you’d like to see permanently on my skin, or I might just do Moiré the same
Every day is a good day for Maths, but here’s a calendar I drew up of some extra fun Maths dates for 2020 🥳
Can’t wait for Pythagorean Triple Day 📐
What other cool dates have I missed?
I am obsessed with the new aperiodic mono-tile 😍
Here’s a cute lil’ pink version for a wallpaper if you like 💗
Thank you so much

and crew! The joy!!
CW: drugs/death
When I was 7 my father died of a drug overdose…
This could have been prevented with the use of Naloxone, so I used the last day of my holidays to get Naloxone training
It took almost no time out of my day, but it could change a whole life 💗
If you can, do it
Another year of teaching complete,
another haul of beautiful D(6) snowflakes!

Remember every single person you meet has a life as intricate as your own. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other ❄️💗
Ok, Maths Teacher crew... some tricks for up your sleeves.

Hey! Made some Maths Challenge Pick'n'Mixes:
To encourage pupils who are really struggling to do anything at home right now 💗
For pupils who just can't get enough Maths 💪
Would love any suggestions for future one line tasks! 🤓

It’s like Christmaths came early!! I want to see as many of these as possible 🤓
Happy Birthday Matt 🎉
My intention is always to make more Maths videos,
but I keep getting sent on side quests!

New shape just dropped! It turns out that the one shape in our old paper that tiled periodically (known as Tile(1,1) there) can be modified to tile aperiodically *without reflections*. More info at , full thread at
I have so much work I could be doing, but for some reason all my brain wants to do is combine a photo I took of a leaf with the equation that explains why larger trees don’t have bigger leaves 🍃
Surprise fluid dynamics strikes again!
I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.

Are you in need of something to do with your hands between washes?

Black Lives Matter.
The white Maths community cannot be silent about this. We must stand with the BLM movement now.
And when this protest is over we have to keep fighting for equality in Maths.
We need Black Mathematicians.

I’m so into Penrose tiles at the moment. The Rhombi ones remind me of cherry blossoms for some reason 🌸 Who needs translational symmetry when you can just use complicated, chaotic matching rules for your pattern?! 😅

So much wasted energy goes into being internet angry!

Earlier this week I fell in love with
