My name is Dan Stucke. I am a Maths teacher based in Manchester, England. I teach in a large, inner-city 11-16 Comprehensive School and have done since 2003. I grew up in the Lake District, before moving to Manchester to study Aerospace Engineering at Manchester University.
This blog has spawned out of my work in helping to set up a Maths department blog at my previous school and from reading a number of other excellent blogs on education.
I’ve started this blog primarily to talk about my experiences of using blogs and other parts of ‘Web2.0′ to engage pupils in my classroom; and secondly to engage myself with the growing community of educators on the web.
My current labour of love is our online Scheme of Work for KS3 which can be found in all it’s wiki glory at: http://ks3mathssow.wikispaces.com.
I am mrstucke on Twitter, please feel free to add me and join in the conversation.

Hello Dan,
Look forward to your contributions to the discussions. I visited you math blog - great setup. I’m going to pass this on to our division as something to look at.
btw, I was to the Lake District three years ago on a 19 day trip through England. Relatives toured us around. What an absolutely beautiful area. Would love to go back soon!

Thanks for the kind words, and the inspiration from your own writings amongst others to start this blog!
Speaking of which, could you tell me how you got your little del.icio.us tag cloud onto your edublog sidebar? Despite my best efforts of fiddling with the sidebar widget I have failed to get anything more than you can see at present!
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan
great to have you with us! I look forward to reading your thoughts on your blog, please let me know if there is anything I can help with.
Best wishes
Tom
PS : I trained to be a teacher at Charlotte Mason - so know the Lakes very well - 4 great years there!
Thanks Tom,
That’s taken me back, I remember the PGCE students from Charlotte Mason coming into my school when I was a kid!
