In #MathsToday we did a task that creates the need for equivalent ratios.
We used counters, the bottom row is where the real fun starts.

Always lovely to work with @ncetm.bsky.social #primary #ECTs in @em-mathshub.bsky.social. They are creating great learning Qs which they are sharing and reflecting on in these pictures (excuse the selfie 😀).

Looking for simple to use, customisable axes or graph paper?
I've made a couple of tools for this.
Designed to be printed or pasted into PowerPoints etc.
The snipping tool (win+shift+s) is your friend.

Our LLME day with @nmmathshub.bsky.social was partially spent thinking about ratio and S planning. What's the same and different about the representations using @ncetm.bsky.social and @oaknational.bsky.social ?

Had a very nice calm period 5 with Y7 doing some colouring in. I could hear the chaos of the elf game going on in the room next door and was very glad I’d gone for this instead! #MathsToday

Why not join the sessions? A previous participant said "It has made me think more about how I phrase questions & use visuals to support learning." & another "This has really supported the development of our KS3 curriculum & SOW. We must ensure that the skills taught at KS3 are developed fully"
Do you teach and/or have responsibility for the curriculum in Years 5-8?
