Hello and welcome to my 34th gems post. This is where I share five teaching ideas I've seen on Twitter. The summer holidays are finally here!

(see video) It can be used in the classroom to teach math concepts; from beginning multiplication tables to advanced physics. I was so intrigued by this fact that I contacted a teacher who uses it to find out more…
