Forgot my win of the week. We've moved from numicon to number lines. Learning to find remainders in preparation for us to do bus stop division. #Maths #Pictoral

A photo taken by my colleague using the standard form buttons. I must say it is slightly disappointing. #Maths #CasioCalculators #dontfixwhatsnotbroke

Based on MathsConf 37(?) Circle theorems with 3 for students to trace and focus. Thanks @draustinmaths.com for making the practice grids so I can adapt it to this. Hopefully will build my year 10s confidence well.

Had to give this kid props on his unit test. The layout is a DREAM!!

Mocks upcoming and decided that I am going to create a bank of excellent exam technique to display to the class as part of feedback.

Little win of the week. Number lines to help my low-ability 8s to round to the nearest integer. The lad of this book was so proud!

#mathsconf39 tomorrow in London. Rather excited to be back and learning! Will also be bringing a newbie and meeting up with old friends.
Just a shame to miss the first 5 mins of the assembly! 😬

Help Needed!!
I've been tasked with enhancing our statistics GCSE. However my pedagogical knowledge for it is a bit weaker.
Has anyone got good sources for reading that will help?

Year 8 looked at Square numbers and used them to problem solve sums.

First lesson with my new SEN Y7 group. I and they loved talking about what numbers look like and how we can see them in groups. Even got to numicon and 1 more and 1 less.
1 kid even told me they learned something new. Love a teacher win!

Phew! First year teaching stats in a year and 100% 7+! Now to get my 2 year students to the same level 💪

And my 4th year completed... stats suggest I should quit this time next year 😁. I've taught stats and RS for the first time, been given new challenges to keep me entertained. Now time to pretend to enjoy the time off as all structure from my life ends.

Excellent day at #mathsconf38. Lots of new ideas that I now wouldn't mind adapting and seeing in action! Looking forward to London (might treat myself to a weekend away!)

Look forward to #mathsconf38 tomorrow. 5:30 start to make the day trip to Dudley. Always an excellent event!

Am looking for some Statistics comprehension extracts to use with my 2-year stats group.

I want to create a focus on literacy to prepare them better ahead of GCSEs. Any pointers?

Geoboards today with my SEN year 7 group. Make and sketch, pentagons, hexagons and quadrilaterals. After exploring squares and rectangles.

Following on from #mathsconf37, I used cuessinare rods to model why multiplying fractions works. This is a couple of my students recordings of my modelling!

Today I teach one of my favourite lessons - what is a half? It's a shame I have to wait until lesson 5

Absolutely amazing #mathsconf37. The amount of motivated teachers across our country is inspiring! Highlights from @taylorda01.bsky.social for those lists, @mathsjem.bsky.social for making my head hurt. @studymaths.bsky.social because I've got a new fave manipulative.

Enroute to #mathsconf37. Am currently on train 3 of 4 (it saved me a tenner) and by far one of the lushest trains I've been on. Excited for a day of learning!

First Ofsted inspection complete! Section 5 - and got observed teaching SEN year 7. They smashed substitution!

My win of last week was being told by a parent/child that I am the reason they come to school, enjoy maths and finally they can achieve more than they ever did before. The fact I nearly cried on parents evening because of this. This is why I do the job 💗💗

Made a randomised spreadsheet. Basic fluency practice for my low ability group in y7. Scaffolded(ish) #maths #teachingresources #spreadsheet

Local schools inset day - it was nice to talk diagnostic questions and how to embed them to local departments... Now to think of my next general CPD one #cpd #maths

I was using this for forming and solving equations... it eneded up leading to a different conversation #maths #question
