A very interesting article from fft around disadvantaged pupils and their progress (or lack of it) in maths. Worth reading and pondering. How can we address this more effectively?

It’s Day 3 of #CalculatorCrunch and today’s puzzle is called 7-digit Numbers.
We’ve given you three starting values of 10, 250 and 5,000. Using the operation times and brackets, can you create expressions with 7 digits, more than 7 digits and fewer than 7 digits?

After school further maths getting stuck into some trig equation solving. Planned a really precise approach for yr12 (manipulatives, laminated write-on graphs, small steps that move v quickly) and it’s worked really well for year 10 L2FM too! #MathsToday

Inspired by @mathforge.org at the Easter conference, today I started teaching Y9 trig by using similarity to reference triangles. #MathsToday

I used to encourage students to highlight F or Z shapes for parallel lines questions, but today I just told Y9 to highlight the transversal. It’s an easier first step, and they were almost always then able to immediately see what to do next.
Also, I love these MathsPad questions!
