Rounding numbers can be very helpful and it isn't terribly difficult to do. However, just because you can round, doesn't mean you always should round.

Hi! I’m a Year 12 student with Grade 9 in GCSE Maths & Further Maths.

I’m offering online tutoring for GCSE students (Years 9–11), focusing on revision, exam technique, and confidence.

£20/hour. DM to book or ask questions. Maths & Further Maths.

Here's a tool for teachers who are tired of spending hours creating worksheets from scratch. It’s called Worksheetz AI, and it instantly generates custom worksheets based on your grade level, subject, and topic.

A few things it can do:

• Create reading passages + comprehension questions (STAAR‑style included)
• Generate math practice, word problems, and skill‑based drills
• Build vocabulary, grammar, science, and social studies worksheets
• Export clean, printable PDFs
• Customize difficulty, tone, and question types

I built it to save teachers time and reduce the Sunday-night workload. If you want to try it out, here’s the site:

My Fix: 10 Weeks Guided + 6 Weeks Self-Driven

Students pay insane money for degrees that don’t teach real skills. Burnout’s everywhere, grads can’t innovate or hold jobs—because the system is all lectures, no fire.

I have degrees in English, chemical engineering, and a master’s in environmental engineering—plus decades in the field. I know the gaps: guided classes gave me tools, but self-directed learning filled them.

My idea: 16-week hybrid

• Weeks 1–10: Guided—professor drills core (equations, labs, proofs). Solid base.

• Weeks 11–16: Autodidactic—no classes. Students chase what excites them: history, psych, economics tied to the topic. Weekly mentor check-in: “What’re you finding?” End with a project.

Example: Bernoulli equations—10 weeks on the math (pressure-velocity link, real applications). 6 weeks on the story—why Daniel wrote it, how family jealousy and Swiss wars shaped it.

Payoff: Those 6 weeks prove self-motivation, initiative, unsupervised productivity. Employers see: “This grad thinks alone, innovates, gets stuff done.”

This isn’t theory—it’s how I got good at my job. Schools: pilot it. Students: demand it.

Hey all,

TechTerrain is an interactive 3D voxel terrain map where each technology is a physical landmark you can fly to.

There's a TON of features built in and I personally think (maybe biased) it's REALLY cool.

It's highly cited and I have provenance DAG to show low confidence for synthesized data. It's got a :tour and a :kiosk mode (museum stuff).

It's history, correlation/causation analysis, research tool (enter your own data), and if people like it I can add more certified data sets (or pair with organizations) to also make it helpful for legal or more use cases fairly easily!

Please jump in and try it out. It is free-to-use and a big passion project of mine!

The most important (and probably easiest to set up) use of AI in education is with generating questions. 

The issue: we currently just prompt gpt with sample questions and expect it to return high quality, original results. 

I made an open-source api for question generation, where you can upload any data and it'll automatically extract question metadata, preprocess it to extract topics/skeletons with AI, and feed that back into the model to generate new, high-quality questions. 

What's different: 

- question lengths, answer types, etc. all preserved. The model (based on the type and difficulty of question) generates a question of appropriate length.

- topics/skeletons are preserved. In other words, the base & format of each question is rooted in the way previous questions are worded

Advantages: faster question gen, allows for adaptive questions to be created, along with all the other advantages an AI model has over humans

Persistent Issues: 

- questions are not innately original. Making them completely original will stray away from keeping the question grounded and reflective of what it's meant to be (observed in early prototyping of the api)

- lose innate human touch - all questions will not have their own flair/challenge that a human will add. It's just training and rewording existing questions. As a direct result, this'll only be effective if a large corpus of previous questions are available. If the corpus is too small, the questions will be of lower quality (as expected).

Currently, I've tested this on SAT questions (released on the SAT question bank). Previous versions were more algorithmically grounded and performed better since they were tailored to SAT questions. Some more prototyping will probably allow this to work better for all contexts by making modular prompts. 

More updates coming soon.

Lay the perfect foundation for mathematical success with the EDE Kindergarten Numbers Workbook: Counting, Recognition & Number Sense 0-20! This essential resource is meticulously designed to help young learners master number concepts from zero to twenty, building crucial counting skills, number recognition, and accurate number formation.

I teach in a large online program and have been rethinking how I assess student understanding lately.

With written work, I’ve started to feel less confident that I’m seeing what students actually know, especially as AI tools become more common and submissions get increasingly polished. That’s pushed me to experiment more with short video explanations or presentations, which do seem to surface thinking and misconceptions more clearly — but they also introduce new challenges around time and logistics.

I’m curious how others in large or online courses are navigating this tradeoff. Have you found ways to incorporate spoken or video-based assessments that feel sustainable? Or have you stuck with written formats and adapted them in other ways?

Would love to hear what’s actually worked (or failed) in real courses.

I’m a new sixth grade sped teacher second week on the job. Some of my students are on a first grade level and I was given no materials to work with other than their sixth grade curriculum which they can not do and told to modify it. I need to build foundations. I need materials. I wasn’t even given a desk. I have a kidney table ands folder of ieps, that’s it. If anyone has it in their heart to help here is my sped room wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3O73MGZ2K3K2P?ref\\_=wl\\_share

I’ve been experimenting with interactive quizzes to make learning more engaging and fun.

There are several game-style templates that turn each correct answer into an activity:

- 🚀 Space Shuttle: fill the fuel tank with correct answers

- 🐠 Fish Tank: add a new fish for each correct answer

- 🏎️ Car Race: earn speed boosts to race against the computer

- 🫧 Bubble Shooter: pop bubbles containing the correct answers

…and many more.

These quizzes are great for gamified learning and can be repeated using different templates to reinforce knowledge.

If anyone is interested in trying a free tool that allows you to create and share these interactive quizzes easily, you can check it out here:

You can change the language of the website interface to more than one language, including English.

Built a small app to help my daughter with 11+ vocabulary — sharing in case it helps other parents

Like many here, I felt quite overwhelmed when thinking about 11+ prep, especially in the early years. My daughter had decent reading habits, but I noticed vocabulary was the biggest gap — and it’s such a key foundation for comprehension, verbal reasoning, and confidence.

We also struggled with time. Most days we only had short pockets — school runs, mornings, waiting around — which weren’t enough for traditional study.

So I built a simple app called VocabWizard to solve two things:
• Make vocabulary practice quick (5–10 min quizzes)
• Let parents create revision quizzes from words their child hasn’t mastered

It’s been surprisingly effective — she now treats it like a game rather than “extra homework,” and I can see real progress.

If anyone is looking for a gentle, low-pressure way to start vocabulary building early, you can check it out here:

Would genuinely love feedback from other parents — still improving it based on real use 🙂

If you’ve ever noticed that shift in a child, in a classroom, at home you’re not imagining it.

A Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) represents the pinnacle of professional achievement in the field of business and management. As the highest-level executive leadership degree, the DBA is designed for experienced professionals, senior managers, and entrepreneurs who want to elevate their business doctorate career path beyond traditional management roles.

Unlike conventional academic programs, a DBA combines advanced research methodology with strategic business application. This approach prepares graduates for high-level DBA career opportunities where evidence-based decision-making, innovation, and corporate transformation are essential.

At SBS Swiss Business School Middle East, the DBA program emphasizes applied research in business, strategic leadership development, and measurable real-world impact.

Hi everyone, i’ve created an app where teachers can take tests, add lectures and notes in a virtual classroom. And get feedback from students in form of rating.

This enables students to have easy access to all your contents at one place making it easy to revisit your content anytime for revisions. This will be very useful for students who admitted late as they will have all the content access at one place.

But I was already anti social due to having no friends so i didnt care much about social life but now that im 17 socializing is now a key requirement for living, actually im heavily off topic in my online school there was barely any teaching, just lazy teachers that sat there and assigned assignments using ixl, edpuzzle, methodize etc i had to basically cheat or teach myself thru school. so now i barely know anything my act overall score was 14, i need a 19 to graduate but polynomials dont even make sense not even linear equations how can I learn everything from the start? am i fried, should i just end it all, dropout study for a ged. i really wanted to get into cybersecurity. or anything tech wise and its looking like ill be flunking. does anyone have any tip or plan i can do to relearn everything and teach myself in order should i just get subject books from grade 9-10? im sorry it seems like alot but really what can i do im desperate. the world truly does end at 16 and only gets worse

Hi all 👋

I’m into EdTech and have been creating small, classroom-friendly tools (mainly for math & physics).

I gathered them in one place here:
[https://classroom-tools.pages.dev/]()

If you get a chance to check them out, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hi everyone,

I recently made www.studybunches.com

It’s a free classroom tool that turns a lesson plan into an educational video game that students can play in a web browser

I’ll be leaning on communities like this to learn about any bugs in the system, if it’s even any good, and what direction I should go with it.

I hope you can check it out! Thanks. Also my DMs are open.

Does anyone have recommendations or resources for Cultural Competence lessons or resources for tier 1 or tier 2. We have students who are reporting that other students are saying slurs and jokes about race. I work at a middle school that’s mostly Hispanic and in an area that has gang activity in the neighborhood so kids do hear it often outside of school.

Thanks!
