Today is a mathematical date we won't see again for 78 years.
10/24/26
10² + 24² = 26²
It's called a Pythagorean Triple Day. There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but only 12 dates this century satisfy the equation.Today is the last.
Next one: March 4, 2105.

Who remembered their Roman numerals when watching The Traitors last night? Thankfully @FryRsquared did but even she must have been feeling a bit of stress in that situation😱
Whoever you are it can be tough doing maths on the spot!

Introducing and understanding the index laws with 9 set 4 has been super enjoyable! We finished this area of study with a matching task, which interweaves index laws with the 4 operations with negative numbers. A great discussion was had at the end about the 99th root of 1…. 😅

Today I turn 30 YEARS OLD, which means it’s been 14 YEARS since I was on #EducatingYorkshire. Incredibly, I’m now the SAME AGE Mr Burton was when he changed my life. As I say goodbye to my 20s, I dedicate this post to the life-changing teachers who never gave up on me. Thank you
