I have posted 5 animated videos for maths teaching here: instagram.com/alf.coles/reelā¦, these cover Trig, Pythag, mystic roses and one on projective geometry (a personal interest). These used to be on a mathsfilms website, now defunct. Charlotte Lighter (Webb) Tom Francome Teachers of Maths Geometry4YL

A new paper about education research in the UK. Colin Foster, Hugues (Hugo) Lortie Forgues, Elizabeth Stokoe and I analysed the journal articles that were submitted to the REF education subpanel in 2021 and 2014, and tried to predict unit-level peer review outcomes. bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/beā¦


The findings from this paper were wonderfully presented BSRLM conference on Saturday. Worth a read whatever field you are in and thinking about the next REF (or not!)
