Not been on here for a while but thought I'd share a LOCI resource. Hate teaching this but found a wee bit of structure helped smooth the concept out (after some time practicing the basic constructions separately).
A copy below if anyone wants to use.

The original police squad contains at least twenty of the best jokes ever written, but for reasons I can't explain, I adore the exchange
"Who are you? And how did you get in here?"
"I'm a locksmith. And... I'm a locksmith"

Made a couple more mixed homeworks for year 12 & 13.
Feedback from kids really positive - they find including some similar problems really useful this term.

Made this resource to review circle theorems with year 11 group - the "hinted" combination section worked really well.

Quite satisfied with the decision map my Y13s helped put together for Normal Distribution.

Working with the Binomial CD function on the calculator - mini whiteboard activity & a couple of basic bits of independent work. Number to left seemed to make an enormous difference with "what to type in"!

Shared here in case it's useful.

Kids liked the previous iteration of this, so made another for
prisms and pyramids - pleasantly surprised how well they've done with this!

Wonder what people think of this?
Trying to help with 3D trig & pythag by drawing "helpful triangles" as we introduce this.
Not used it yet so may be useless...

May do similar for pyramids/prisms if it helps.

Ok, not maths today but maths this week!

Trying to help kids access nasty "hannah's sweets" style algebraic probability problems, found sorting the key info into tables unlocked this for many.

If it's helpful for anyone the resource is here

Non-right triangles felt like a right slog.
Trialled this "hinted" resource to help kids try to get a feel for sequencing their tactical decisions.

Already a fantastic song, the Ed Stasium remix of this lifts it to a comfortable top 3 rock songs ever written (probably sliding right in between Born to Run and The House That Heaven Built).

Found these two graphic really helpful running a "masterclass" for year 11 today.... a "big picture" major ideas and one "tactical moves" - do one of these when stuck.

Nothing thrilling, just the year 12 version of my HWK this week - again, includes some "similar" problems the students could use as a worked example if stuck.

Working with direct/inverse proportion problems where two relationships need to be combined.
Really useful to give them some problems where the initial relationships had already been completed and just practice combining before going full whammy.

Sharing my Y13 & Y12 homework this week.
Experimenting with adding some similar problems to pages 3 & 4 so the students who are struggling can use as worked examples.

If this doesn't move you I presume you also don't like Christmas, sunshine or the laughter of children.

Simply incredible.

Tried this last week to check for understanding of approximating binomial to normal distribution in A2 Stats - felt it helped with a fiddly detail in continuity correction.

Just watching S1 of Severance and though the whole cast are excellent, any time Walken or Turturro are on screen feels like an absolute gift.

Made a very basic Check For Understanding mini whiteboard activity that I quite enjoyed for hypothesis tests with PMCC.

You can find it here if you like the look of it.
