    I'm teaching a Year 7 Maths class in September for the first time in ages, and I'm very excited about it! Hence lots of new resources on the way. Starting with factors, multiples and primes: ✨Prime Numbers Crack the Code ✨Factors Practice Strips ✨Factor Bugs Activity Plus...

    I've been rethinking the way I teach circle theorems, so this week I started by recapping angles in triangles before (hopefully) neatly segueing into the special cases for isosceles and right-angled triangles inside circles. Used these resources, which seemed to work well...

    🎄My first contribution to some Christmas-themed activities!🎄 I have plotting quadratic, cubic and reciprocal graphs coming up this week with Year 10, so here's a create-a-picture task for plotting quadratic graphs. At draustinmaths.com #mathscpdchat #mathschat #mathstlp

    I made these coordinate geometry spider diagram-type resources so long ago I don’t even remember when, but I rediscovered and so have upgraded them. There are three levels, each with four diagrams - y = mx + c, harder equations of lines, and parallel/perpendicular lines. 1/2

    The final six revision grids are here - covering all of statistics and probability content. That's a full set of 23 revision grids now! Hopefully of use for those all-important Y11 revision lessons. Find them all at draustinmaths.com/revision #mathschat #mathsresources #mathsTLP

    So, I've starting making some full coverage-type revision grids for my Year 11s to use. Starting with the number topics, here are the first five grids. In theory, grids 1 to 5 go through every number topic from grades 1-9 in order of increasing difficulty. 1/2

    I've been rethinking how I'll teach functions to my Y11s this year. I'm going to try spending a lot more time using function machines to build understanding and confidence before I bring in algebraic methods. Starting this week with these resources... #mathscpdchat #mathsTLP

    ⭐️NEW⭐️ Quadratics resources added today. A fill in the blanks task to hopefully develop links between expanding and factorising quadratics, and a practice grid for solving quadratics in geometrical contexts. All problems reduce to monic quadratics which can be factorised.

    Next up - six GEOMETRY revision grids, grids 1 to 6 in order of increasing difficulty. Hopefully one question on each objective/skill, and I've been using these with students to identify gaps (sometimes they don't know what they don't know!) #mathschat #mathsTLP

    ⭐️NEW⭐️My Year 10 students are looking at angle problems involving regular and irregular polygons this week, so I've created a couple of question grids (of course!). Not yet tested on students so there will be errors - please let me know if you spot any... #mathstlp #mathscpdchat

    Probability is another topic I’ve got coming up next half-term. I’ve created resources on different probability scenarios - dice, counters, spinners and playing cards - with the aim of focusing on each one separately in a bit of depth. 1/2

    After a lovely break I’ve set to work on some new #mathsresources on factors, multiples and primes - including a Decode the Joke, Fill in the Blanks for HCF and LCM, and harder questions where prime factorisations are given. All free at draustinmaths.com #mathschat
