Great to have an audience that was evenly split between 'Shakespeareans' and 'Mathematicians' (quite a few were both).

I cannot get over how incredibly fascinating this is!

This is a must for all English AND maths AND history teachers AND numeracy in English inspiration AND for disciplinary literacy. Rob Eastaway - it’s incredible

One for all cricket clubs out there! We featured the The Googly Fund on #BBCStumped a while back. They are making a difference 👇🏼

This Noughts & Crosses mat mysteriously appeared on the local high street recently.
Who went first, O or X, and what was the order of moves if they played sensibly?

A perfect morning in Stratford-upon-Avon. Thrilled to be playing cricket with @authorscc for the first time.

On Saturday I'm dong a lunchtime 'Much Ado' talk in Shakespeare's home town, part of @stratlitfest. stratfordliteraryfestival.co.uk/events/just-ad…

Just added! A special event with the brilliant Rob Eastaway talking about Shakespeare and numbers and his new book Much Ado About Numbers. Fascinating link between maths and the Bard. 4th May Book here! tinyurl.com/2k9z7u6v Emma Smith Shakespeare Institute

Sussex people - I'll be doing a 'Much Ado' talk in Brighton next Tuesday evening, from 7pm, it's a @brighthinkorg event. brighthink.org/brightalks/muc… Maths@Sussex @semathshub AMSP-South

'Tis a truth universally acknowledged that everyone sets out their long multiplication calcs differently.
Here's how Robert Recorde did it in 1550.
- No little 'carry' numbers
- No zero as a placeholder
- No multiplication sign (it hadn't been invented yet)

We're looking forward to celebrating with you 🥳 A brilliant book, that is just as useful and interesting for English teachers as for Maths teachers - an excellent addition to anyone's bookshelf!

Much Ado About Numbers is officially launched today! If you're wondering if this is a Shakespeare book or a Maths book it's actually both - but more than anything it's about life in Elizabethan England, a world of Renaissance thinking. amazon.co.uk/Much-Ado-About…

And so the season begins. Brrrrr.
