My child is not a fan of the 'explain how you worked out your answer' questions in Maths.
A piece of KS2 Maths work. In answer to the question 'How did you work out your answers?' he's answered 'I worked them out using my brain.'

Some photos from the Science lectures last week with @dannynic.bsky.social . Trainees explored some ways to teach Forces, Magnets and Electricity. They carried out an investigation into paper helicopters, which generated some good discussion around fair testing and how to teach it.
