- Thanks to 20 years of worded LCM questions, I’m finally having a BBQ with THE EXACT SAME number of burgers and buns 🍔
- Proud 🤓 moment of my career, the new planner’s arrived, and I’ve completed the collection 💙🌟
- If anyone’s not seen @draustinmaths’ draustinmaths.com or @giftedHKO’s mathshko.com both of their websites are incredible ⭐️
- It's been too cold outside, my daughter's being entertained by her grandparents, so I've had a day task designing 👍 These need rearranging but I'm pretty chuffed with this recognising like terms activity for Y7, can anyone think of some good q's I might have missed? #mathschat
- Preparing the warm up for factorising quadratics this week... any other tricks I've missed? #mathschat
- "Fill in the blanks activities are one of the most simple ways to get students thinking and reasoning mathematically" is a hill I'm willing to die on. #mathschat
- Partly because angles questions are annoying to make 🤕and partly to show our booklets at @astreaacademies, I'm sharing my recent contribution to our curriculum on properties of diagonals in quadrilaterals👍 Link here: dropbox.com/scl/fi/iql6168… #mathschat
- Hastily made this afternoon a question grid for Y11 higher for paper 3 based on topics that haven’t come up yet. Link here for anyone who wants it. Answers on second slide. #mathschat
- At this time of year, my sincere thanks as always to those who create revision resources for Y11’s inbetween papers @1stclassmaths @mathsplanner @Corbettmaths @MrMorleyMaths @MattTheApp @Mr_D_Does_Maths and any/all others I’ve missed 👍
- The quality of @draustinmaths’s resources is incredible, and not just helped me improve my practice by giving them out for free but also gave me ideas on how to better ask questions. The depth and challenge is superb. #mathsconf34
- Getting more into the habit of teaching inverse proportion using ratio tables. Today’s Y10 lesson felt like the smoothest I’ve ever taught it. Work still to be done on my explanations but certainly a winner with my students 👍 #mathschat
- My Y10's have just finished two big units on number and algebra, so I'm creating starters this week looking at expressions with the same value but different in appearance... #mathschat
