Love is in the air!

Post 14/29 in the Staffrm #29daysofwriting challenge: Sentimentality and graph of a heart
When I was younger, I was ridiculously cynical about Valentine's Day - I'd wonder why people needed one special day to tell or show their significant other how much they love them, when surely that should be happening all the time. However, as I'm often working late into the evenings (I get in at 4pm but usually do 2-3 hours at home in the evening), sometimes I find my husband's come in at 5 and I've not even acknowledged him, because I'm so engrossed in school-work. It's very easy to neglect to remind the people who are important to you just how important they are - family and friends as well as significant others.
So today's post is just a quick reminder to myself that I need to get better at doing that, and remind myself that I'm not just a teacher. 

​I've also discovered how to use 
Desmos to graph parametric equations, and produced this pretty heart graph:

It's quite fun changing the coefficients to see how this affects the heart shape, with a nice link to transformations of graphs - I'll have to remember this for my A Level group for next year.

Happy Valentine's Day!

P.S. As it's half term, I'm going to give #teacher5adaysketch a go - so next week's blogs are mostly going to be my poor attempts at drawing!
