Everyday Maths and Money: a Bluesky starter pack

Home › Starter pack

What you gain

A ready-made feed of maths teachers, data-visualization designers and money writers, instead of searching one account at a time.
Fresh ways to see a number, a chart or a household sum, from people who teach and explain them for a living.
You can unfollow any of them later, one by one, if the mix is not for you.

A Bluesky starter pack is a short list of accounts that a person has chosen on a topic. Open the pack, tap Follow all, and you are following everyone in it.

How the list was chosen

I picked each account by hand because the person regularly posts about maths teaching, charts and data, or money and personal finance, and was active in the last few weeks. Nobody paid to be here and none of them is affiliated with this site. Being in the pack means their work is useful for this topic, not that I agree with everything they post. If you are in the pack and would rather not be, tell me on Bluesky and I will take you out.
