We’ve had ‘strict/warm’ I propose ‘gentle opponent’. I often set myself up in opposition to my year 7 class. ‘You’ll never manage this one’ ‘I’ve made this way too hard. No way you can do this’ and act surprised and impressed when they inevitably complete the task. Seems to work really well.

Hey maths people. What are some big pitfalls to avoid when writing examples? I’m talking stuff like using 2^2 where the correct answer can come from a misconception. Or anything else! Trying to collect a few for a thing.

The best practical guide on AI use in the classroom 😛 #TeamMaths #UKEdChat #EduSky

Groundbreaking stuff, this is going to have a profound impact on Maths classrooms everywhere. This needs to be shared far and wide! Give it to all ITT students!

Hopes this helps people. I’ve put together a little document on how to use AI in the maths classroom. Free PDF below. If you’re wondering how AI affects you or how you can use the new technology, please give it a click. ticktockmaths.co.uk/wp-content/u...

Maybe I’m later to this than everyone else but : PowerPoint’s convert to shape tool works amazingly well with geogebra diagrams.

Anyone want to join in with a Sunday evening Don Steward appreciation thread? I know there must be countless amazing tasks on donsteward.blogspot.com that I’ve never even looked at. What are your favourites?

In #MathsToday, this week I've enjoyed playing a new game I've been working on: Duelling Mathematicians! interwovenmaths.com/duels Two players at the board take turns answering maths questions, with chess clock-style timers. The sounds/music are the best bit! More topics being added soon...

New! A quick gems post providing updates, ideas and resources for maths teachers. 💎 www.resourceaholic.com/2025/03/5-ma... #mathstoday #mathsky #ukmathschat #iteachmath

A pupil in my year 11 class wrote this nice question.

Applications of simultaneous equations might be my favourite topic. There are just so many fun problem types! We did these Don Steward beauties in Y10 #MathsToday.

Questions like this, taken from an international maths competition for Grade 2, are great in helping to encourage pupils to develop strategies such as compare/contrast, rather than adding up the numbers on the balls as suggested. 'If you add up...' might have been better. #iTeachMath #UKMathsChat

Creating custom axes for worksheets or tests is one of my pet peeves... some great suggestions here!

If you only have one Advent calendar in your life, make it this one! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat www.mscroggs.co.uk

@mscroggs.co.uk hi. Loving the advent calendar. Just a quick question, is today’s puzzle supposed to say ‘two one hundred sided dice’?

Since 2016 I’ve been making a maths Christmas quiz. Here’s the 2024 one. www.tes.com/teaching-res... You’ll need to allow external media to hear the music.

Pretty happy with these

#MathsToday and this week - more straight lines with Year 9 - moving on to rearranging equations & parallel lines. Made some new resources 😀: ✨Parallel lines sort it out ✨Parallel or not parallel activity ✨Rearranging equations of lines fill in the blanks #UKMathsChat #MathsResources

It’s been 7 years since I left teaching in the U.K. and I still have the occasional nightmare where I walk into class and the kids are just shouting and not listening and I’m unable to do anything.

Hello ! Richard here! I’m an international maths teacher and I own ticktockmaths.co.uk. I want to ditch the OLD PLACE and move here. But I don’t know who to follow. Recommendations ?
