If you were going to create a hierarchy of math skills, what software would you use? Some sort of mind map? Database? Other?

Waiting for the sequel: "Why Don't Teachers Like School."

Are there any interesting studies out there about open-note vs closed-book exams?

In New South Wales there is no mechanism for year 7, 8, or 9 students to repeat a grade.

IMHO, this poses challenges in terms of motivation and incentive to build the prerequisite knowledge needed to then actually pass year 10.

New to blue sky so appreciate any sharing of this! Really interested to talk about exercise books in maths. We do so much mini wb stuff that we rarely write in books and would complete questions either in workbooks (KS3) or question sheets.

Looking for resources/advice on how to adapt programs to include interleaving.

E.g. how should I alter my existing area program (6 lessons, 1 day per shape)?

Introduce all formulas day 1, and mix them for 6 days? Or add one each day and mix as you go?

Have been thinking about implementing weekly low stakes tests as my primary way for building student metacognition.

Thoughts?

Do students keep track over time?

Would listing the topic to boost student awareness of strong and weak topics eliminate the benefit of learning to discriminate methods?

Is putting up classroom posters with information that I want students to memorize/automate helpful or detrimental in achieving this goal?

Also, pretty sure nobody will see this, so a bit of a message in a bottle situation.

Are there any Australian public secondary schools that have really nailed behaviour? i.e
the high school equivalent of Marsden Road Public School.

Bonus points for:
* turnaround schools
* low SES area
* located in NSW
