🧵 A New Year's Eve tale: June 1990 "Hello, could you tell me when the next train to Birmingham is?" "One moment, ah yes, it's at 1:40." "Brilliant!" "People aren't usually this excited about Birmingham." "I've got a date with Sam, I can't believe it!" "Have fun young man." 1/12

Fantastic to get the following message and photo from a teacher yesterday. “All our first year planning is done and we are ready to go. It looks really good and I’m very excited. Definitely going to push us out of our comfort zone which is exactly what we needed.” #jcmaths

A new school year begins and we are excited to know that Linking Thinking 1 is in classrooms throughout the country! We look forward to the year ahead and the Maths puzzles and problems we will enjoy, starting with this "back to school" themed logic puzzle #linkingthinkingjcmaths
