Haydenâs in charge this week. That gets you a bogey story, the return of Blind Rank, a chat about parents vaping on the school run, and a listener asking what maths resources to buy for a brand new school.
𤢠THE BOGEY STORY
A sweet bedtime cuddle takes a revolting turn. Itâs Haydenâs follow-up to last weekâs âkids are grossâ chat, and this oneâs worse.
đ˛ BLIND RANK IS BACK
You asked for it. Dylan ranks five parts of the teaching job, best to worst, without seeing whatâs coming: playground duty, parentsâ evening, teaching art, the staffroom, and one more that Hayden saved for the end. It doesnât go well. Thereâs also an honest moment about why they donât actually hate parentsâ evening.
đ¨ VAPING ON THE SCHOOL RUN
On one drive past two primary schools, Dylan counted 14 or 15 parents vaping while walking their kids in. Is this the new normal? They cover what primary kids absorb, vaping in secondary toilets and the toilet pass problem, the generational smoking ban, personal choice against the cost to the NHS, and vapes designed to look like highlighters.
â Q&A: STOCKING A NEW SCHOOL WITH MATHS RESOURCES
A brand new school has zero maths resources. What do you buy first? Dienes, counting sticks, real clock faces, counters, Cuisenaire rods, bead strings, multilink cubes (great for ratio and early algebra) and loads of 3D shapes. Also the one resource you should make yourself rather than buy.
đ§ CPA AND THE LINKS THAT MATTER
What concrete, pictorial, abstract looks like when you use it flexibly rather than as a fixed routine. Plus how a 5001 subtraction question shows that the best maths links are the ones inside maths itself.
