foldworksIan Stewart’s (2005) book Game, Set and Math includes 12 puzzles linked to the 12 days of Christmas. A favourite is Five Gold Rings. The five gold rings are arranged to maximise the overlaps. At every overlap there is a diamond. You have diamonds of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... carats. Arrange the diamonds so the total number of carats on each ring is the same.
Try starting small—just two rings, two overlaps and each ring has a total of three carats (1 + 2). Now three rings, there are six overlaps, arrange diamonds of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 carats so each ring has the same total.

Seasonal Values
Each of the symbols in the grid has a value. From the totals given for each row and each column can you work out what they are?
The eight symbols have values 1 to 8 and each has the same value wherever it appears.

Thank you for writing this, very interesting.
The linked essay and your quote struck me in particular:
"each student will be responsible for introducing a class session—presenting the core arguments of that day’s readings, identifying key tensions or problems, proposing questions for discussion."*
@SmartmanApps
Thanks for you insights.

Attached: 1 image 1/10 #MathsMonday This #Mathematics article came across my feed, about how #Maths #teachers teach #Math - https://teamone.msuurbanstem.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Skemp-Relational-Instrumental-clean-copy-AT-1978.pdf - where it is quite clear that the author didn't bother asking any actual teachers about it(!), and the assumption made is completely wrong (could've saved himself all that effort if he'd just checked his #facts first #misinformation). First I'm going to address some of the wrong claims, then I will go through the actual reasons, which we DO actually teach...
Christian MeestersI want to reach out: Do you know any good(!) paper for benefits or downsides of online course? Or of online vs. on-site courses?
I did a little research, found nothing compelling, but I am _not_ an expert in this field and might very well be overlooking something.

The first two episodes of MT Talk discuss articles from Mathematics Teaching 296 https://atm.org.uk/MT-Talk
Episode 1
Elizabeth Bridgett, Lisa Coe and Jay Timotheus compare and contrast Mike Askew's 1999 article, ‘Teaching numeracy: will we ever learn?’ from MT168 with Jane Hawkins' much more recent, 2025 article, ‘Why purposeful talk in mathematics lessons matters’ in MT296.
Also mentioned in this episode is the 1999 paper ‘Arbitrary and Necessary Part 1: A Way of Viewing the Mathematics Curriculum’, Dave Hewitt's first in a three-part series in For the Learning of Mathematics, as well as Mike Askew’s book, ‘Transforming Primary Mathematics’, published by Routledge in 2011.
Episode 2
Lisa Coe, Fin McLaughlin and Jay Timotheus talk about John Mason's 1987 article, ‘Only awareness is educable’ from MT120, alongside Tom Francome's 2025 article, ‘Everyone can think mathematically’ from MT296.
Fin recommended two books: ‘Thinking Mathematically’, by John Mason, Leone Burton and Kaye Stacey (Pearson, 1982, and 2010) and ‘Researching Your Own Practice: The Discipline of Noticing’, by John Mason (Routledge, 2001).
