In #mathstoday I rolled out this classic SMILE activity in my Year 7 Maths lesson. Worked really well, although it never ceases to amaze me how slow some kids are at cutting out ✂️ 😴

In #mathstoday (well, actually yesterday) my Year 12s tackled another great Underground Maths problem. This one worked really well & stimulated loads of discussion, helping cement their understanding of logs. Definitely recommend 👍🏼 undergroundmathematics.org/exp-and-log/...

Come and teach Maths at my lovely school! I’ve been there 12 years and wouldn’t want to move anywhere else 😁 come join us! Follow the link for all the details 👇🏼 campden.school/work-here/

In #mathstoday I had the joy of setting my Y12s one of my favourite A Level Maths problems 🐻 undergroundmathematics.org/circles/tedd...

In #mathstoday, I’ve tried something new when marking #coremaths mocks. To try & reduce the “where did I lose marks?” questions on the big Paper 1 mock questions, I’m trialling a sticker detailing what is needed for each mark, which I can tick as I go. Made estimation & tax/NI marking much easier 😁

These are a must for anyone teaching Core Maths!

Core Maths teachers - I’m looking at misleading diagrams/charts with my class on Friday. Anyone got any ‘great’ ones I can share with them? I’m going to use this classic but on the look out for a few more crackers @ecrmaths.bsky.social @davegjones.bsky.social @coremathscat.bsky.social

When your children are finally old enough to help cut out your tarsia jigsaws 😁🥳

Matt is such a great ambassador for the GLOW Maths Hub. We’re so lucky to have him as an LLME. If you’re Teaching A Level Maths in Gloucs/Worcs, make sure you sign up for his Developing A Level Pedagogy work group.

Started the binomial expansion today with Year 12. Introduced it a different way to normal and it actually worked really well 😁 also started randomly assigning partners at the start of each lesson using playing cards - definitely recommend this for collaboration outside of friendship groups ♥️♠️♦️♣️

This book is fab! Even if you’ve been teaching A Level a while, you’ll still get so much from it 😁

Exciting day in the GLOW region as we’re hosting our annual MathsFest event for Secondary teachers across Gloucs & Worcs #letstalkmaths

C’mon Ofsted - bring it on 💪🏼

In #mathstoday we used questions from the old Foundations of Advanced Mathematics papers to revise cumulative frequency in #coremaths 😁

In #mathstoday, inspired by @colinfoster77.bsky.social’s Mathematical Etudes, we’ve been combining mathematical thinking and fluency practice 😁 lots of rich conversations all round. Not bad for the last day of a very long term! 😴

In #mathstoday this odd one out task worked really well and allowed us to recover quite a lot of important vocabulary 😁

Guess what we’ve been doing in #mathstoday 😁 💨

Need some help from #coremaths peeps - trying to create bar models for tax & NI from the 2025 Paper 1 Prelim. Thoughts? Does it work? NI seems to but tax is messy. Not sure how to make the £100,000-£125,140 one any better. All feedback welcome! @reflectivemaths.bsky.social @ecrmaths.bsky.social

In #mathstoday there was much excitement from my Y7s when I told them the starter was a hidoku puzzle from @mathequalslove.bsky.social. Today’s was obviously Pi themed 🥧 😁

#mathstoday

We used the excellent start.sketchometry.org in y9 #MathsToday. This has come on so much since I last used it - gesture-based constructions, ideal on a phone or tablet.

In #mathstoday, my #coremaths students were examining misleading graphs - spotting errors & suggesting improvements.

While the small people are occupied in the soft play, it’s time to get to grips with next week’s @ncetm.bsky.social subject knowledge session for non-specialists. We’re hitting algebra 🥳 I ❤️ this programme and the confidence it helps our so, so valuable non-specialists develop #mathscpd

Slightly late but in #mathstoday (on Friday) I used double sided counters to introduce adding negatives to my Y7s and it was amazing. They loved it, I loved it. Never teaching directed number without them again. 🔴🟡

One of GLOW’s amazing Local Leaders of Maths Education delivering another powerful workshop for A Level teachers in the Gloucs/Worcs region. Well done @mr-man-maths.bsky.social!

In #mathstoday my Year 7s tackled the Mitten Hidato puzzle from @mathequalslove.bsky.social and absolutely LOVED it!

In #MathsToday it was time to introduce one of my favourite topics 😍 #coremaths

In #MathsToday we used salt & vinegar crisps to introduced the Product Moment Correlation Coefficient 😋 #alevelmaths #coremaths

Thank you, @alexjw.bsky.social! It’s already more uplifting over here than the other place 😁 more teaching maths, fewer bots #teachmaths
