In #MathsToday we did a task that creates the need for equivalent ratios. We used counters, the bottom row is where the real fun starts.

open.substack.com/pub/neilalmo... Trying to resurrect the old blog in a new format to get writing and reading more. Here’s 5 things that I think all secondary teachers should know about reading.

I'm including SCG in a presentation next week on Inquiry routines / problem solving strategies. Love this (John Mason) SPECIALIZING means choosing examples ● randomly, to get a feel for the question; ● systematically, to prepare the ground for generalizing; ● artfully, to test a generalization.

It's a SUPER day for #ProblemSolving Sunday! Check out the February Calendar of Problems... which ones did you like from this past week? Share your thinking & working out here or on the post. #MTBoS #iTeachMath #T3Learns #RecreationalMath #MathSky karendcampe.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/f...

GCSE maths anxiety is rising, and teachers are feeling the pressure too. Maths Revolution shares simple, steady approaches that help students build confidence and stick with it. A reassuring read for anyone teaching GCSE this term. Available 26 Mar 2026 @BloomsburyEd

New post: Are book looks a waste of time? For some, they are a meaningless scourge. For others, they are a vital accountability lever that provides insight into the lived curriculum. Read on for more, and please share if you can! carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/are-book-l...

Could be a nice "which one doesn't belong" prompt? #wodb

Raises the question about distinction between mathematical skills and topics (even those terms warrant better definition). The skill/procedure is proportion, but the topic is it's own. Much like percentages.

Pie charts - worthy of being called a topic on their own in a curriculum, or just an application of direct proportion?

Two regular hexagons inside a rectangle. What fraction of the rectangle is shaded? I found this #geometrypuzzle in my sketchbook - I drew it last June, but I’m pretty sure I never got round to posting it. Better late than never!

Here is an even more generic version, and a nudge towards a more efficient ratio table approach. The ratios are now blanked out which is a nice bonus of the table approach. #BlankIsBest #MathsToday

Using Cuisenaire rods to model how we can find the nth term rule of a simple linear sequence. youtu.be/s38PBKNdpBs #MiniMathsBots

I love this thread! If you've ever wanted to get into Algebra Tiles, or learn how to use the MathsBot ones, this playlist of short (<2 min) videos might be a good start. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

My 8yo has been making coasters with mosaic tiles and I think they’re pretty cool.

Started the first day of Calculus class with a problem from @stevemaths.bsky.social. Students used several different strategies to calculate the red area. #ITeachMath

Had a Year 11 intervention class today with only 6 students in because of a mock exam running. Set 1 and the @goteachmaths.bsky.social Mark Maximiser showed us that completing the square was a huge gap… So over to @studymaths.bsky.social MathsBot we go for some algebra tile goodness! #MathsToday

In #mathstoday year 9 finally know the difference between the radius and diameter, and year 12 looked at transformations of functions.

🎉 We are excited to announce MC40! Join like-minded people in a celebration of all things maths at City of Derby Academy. 🗓 Date: Saturday 18th April 2026 📍 Location: City of Derby Academy We look forward to seeing you there! 🙌 👉 BOOK HERE: completemaths.com/community/ma... #MathsConf40

I used this template slide to introduce sharing in a ratio with Y9 in #MathsToday (yesterday) The "blank is best" approach to slides is a powerful tool for responsive teaching.

Yes, it's based on my work on the Proof Materials Project (2004 - 2005). Here's an extract from the report, arguing for taking a generic approach to the 'matchstick squares' task.

Interestingly, I think there are also times when the opposite approach is worthwhile!

In #MathsToday we made a conjecture from this prompt...then tried to prove it.

We used algebra tiles in #MathsToday to prove that the sum of 5 consecutive integers is always a multiple of 5.

This thread is absolutely perfect for stuff I’m trying in my classroom these days. I’m taking part in a “Developing Mathematical Thinking” project with University of Dundee and we are looking at things like this. Will try out lots of these. Did the 4 digit palindrome one. S-C-G would’ve improved it.

An eminently worthwhile structure. How about this: Pick a pair of twin primes bigger than 3. Multiply them together. Find the digital root of your answer (add digits together, repeat until single digit reached). Try another pair of twin primes (>3). Make a conjecture? Prove it?

I added a couple more of my favourites to this thread earlier today.

Time for winter #ProblemSolving! Here's the February Calendar of Problems for you and your students. Tell us your working out here or on the post. ENJOY! #MTBoS #iTeachMath #RecreationalMath #MathSky #MathsToday #T3Learns karendcampe.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/f...

Which one gets to 2000 first? a) 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, … b) 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, … c) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, … d) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, … I’ve not worked it out yet, but 2000 seems like a decent number to make it close. Gut instinct? Then calculate.

Which pair of coloured tiles has the greatest total? How do you know?

In case you missed it yesterday. Quite proud of where this is going. This will keep me busy for many years to come.

Three sets of increasingly difficult questions, designed to identify gaps in the basic skills needed to be successful on a GCSE paper. All @tessmaths.bsky.social's idea. mathsbot.com/gcse/skillsT...

Hi #EduSky - it's time for my #Saturday3 and despite seeing many laments for the golden age of EduTwitter, I again find there was a huge amount of quality blogs published this week. So much so that I had to adopt a theme to whittle them down. So welcome to "things not to do" week!

Amazing 👏 🤩

Introducing arcs and sectors to Y10 #MathsToday This is my last chance to post for a while - maternity leave starts on Monday!

This looks amazing!

Update: Me demonstrating the new "What do you want to teach?" search functionality on the MathsBot homepage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvnC...

Thoughts on this mess. 🧵👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'd consider these to all be in the realm of Different Surface Same Deep, I reckon. Some more available here: interwovenmaths.com/daydream-int... and here: interwovenmaths.com/making-conne...

I’m stepping back into a HOD role. I have my own experiences from the first HOD role but what would your best advice be for going into a new dept and what do you wish you’d have been doing from the start? Please share to get more voices. (And answer yourself) @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

I've just stepped out of a HOD role! But things that made my dept run smoothly: check every classroom daily, make sure everything is fully stocked, supervise your KS Coordinators getting assessments/SOW ready weeks in advance, you can't send too many emails as long as they're focused & info-giving

In #MathsToday I busted out the 150 question "20 minute multiplication challenge" from the old 10 ticks as a starter. Sometimes, you just need to calm down Y9 after a very wet and windy lunch.

Does anyone have any experience of using UpLearn at A level Maths? It’s a it a worthwhile purchase? Do you use it for intervention or independent learning?

Used a double number line in #MathsToday to help pupils get to grips with going from one number to another using multiplication.

Looking forward to this! If you have been to any of the #MathsConf then, you will be in for the next stint of my talk in A Level Maths transition. Book a ticket in the link below to find out more about TTR Connect! @ttradioofficial.bsky.social
