Now with 3 units complete: Number and Algebra; Functions; Trigonometry. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl

A couple of ideas for Christmas drawings based on this Desmos activity.

NEW TOPIC - Similar Shapes Choose from which measurement to be known and which to be unknown from lengths, areas and volumes. As with all questions, project on the board, turn into a worksheet, or treasure hunt, matching cards, bingo, or more. generator.interactive-maths.com

In #mathstoday with year 10, I am quite happy with this set of questions I came up with on solving quadratics with the formula to get exact answers.

Created a set of matching cards for my year 11 class in #MathsToday to practice finding quadratic functions from graphs when given the vertex or the roots. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

Last year I created this Desmos activity to help students learn some basics to design their own Christmas pictures. Feel free to use with your classes as term ends. classroom.amplify.com/activity/657...

I would appreciate you sharing this with anybody you might know who is studying #IB and doing the #AAHL course.

After #MathsToday I created a new fill in the blanks generator on Normal Distribution. www.interactive-maths.com/normal-distr... You can choose what is revealed / hidden for any randomly generated distribution by clicking. Easy to screenshot into a presentation, or use live.

In #mathstoday I came up with a new tool on solving quadratic equations using factorising. www.interactive-maths.com/solving-quad... You can choose what you reveal or hide giving lots of flexibility.

I really do think that colour is helpful to identify steps in multi stage problems. But there is also scope to use it to link parts of a solution to the words in the question.

Great time seeing Matilda The Musical in London with my nearly 8 year old tonight. Love having a daddy son date night now he is getting older. #matilda

Create a Question Strip, great for starters. Same set of questions on each side. This one is on Differentiation of Polynomials. Took 30 seconds as I regenerated the questions to get them to increase in difficulty. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

Create Odd One Out activities using any of the 70 different topics available (or a mixture of them) This one is on equations of straight lines. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

Worksheet created in 10 seconds on straight line graphs. Nothing fancy, just a few questions. Great for a starter or retrieval activity. You can also make a Codebreaker, odd one out, loop cards. All free, no sign up. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

I have added a new topic to my generators: Gradient. Find gradients from lines, draw gradients, gradients from two points, missing coordinate given gradient. Turned into worksheets, treasure hunt, matching cards. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

A new tool to help with IBDP AAHL studying: 1. select a question and be told which topics it includes; 2. select a topic and see which questions include it; 3. see frequency analysis of all topics across all past papers. This should help both teachers and students in revision. #ibmaths #aahl

The Question Strip activity type is really useful for quick starters. Choose a topic and create questions, then choose the number of columns. Save on printing and easy to stick in books. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

If you know any students studying IB AAHL maths, point them towards my online course designed to help them truly understand the concepts. So far two units are complete with 48 lessons. Working on third unit to be released in the next few weeks. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl-sign-up

In my IB key skills generator you get full solutions. Randomly generated questions which can be turned into a worksheet or projected. generator.interactive-maths.com/ib-aa-hl-key...

In #MathsToday I used AI to create a set of 10 multiple choice questions on finding the equation of a line from 2 points which I could project. It worked within the AI, and we could select the answers and get immediate feedback. Useful as a Maths activity, but also to show kids how to ise AI well.

National Cipher Challenge starts today. Students might want to learn about different ciphers, and I have a free website for that crypto.interactive-maths.com

Need a tool to help with automating frequency analysis and breaking a substitution cipher? Perfect for the National Cipher Challenge @cipher-challenge.bsky.social crypto.interactive-maths.com/frequency-an...

With the Cipher Challenge coming up soon from @cipher-challenge.bsky.social your students might be interested in learning about codes and ciphers. I have a website dedicated to this, which details how they work and has applets to encrypt and decrypt. crypto.interactive-maths.com

Don Steward's Median blog seems to be down 😞 Do we know anything about this? @mathsjem.bsky.social

Year 13 learned about the reverse chain rule, integrating with partial fractions and using trig identities in integrals yesterday. Including the need to always look for f'(x)/f(x). #MathsToday

In #MathsToday year 12 worked on logs. Always like to get them to estimate log 34 as they are surprised by the result. And year 10 did an investigation on the perimeter of regular polygons in a line.

In #MathsToday we had 2 cakes in year 13. I always make the deal with the class that if anyone forgets the +c they have to bring cake next lesson (+cake!!!)

In #MathsToday year 13 started integration, and year 12 did a prior knowledge test before starting the HL course! Year 10 did an investigation into the greatest perimeter possible when regular polygons are placed adjacent.

#Maths teachers! As you head back to school this week, don't forget that on my generators site you can project randomly generated questions, or create different activities, for free. #MathsToday generator.interactive-maths.com

If you know anybody studying (or about to start studying) the IB Maths AAHL course, then they might be interested in the new online course I am developing. Instead of paying a tutor weekly, get access to the full course. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl-sign-up

First 2 units of the IB Maths AAHL course complete. It includes 48 individual skills, some topics listed below. Running at a reduced price whilst it is still under construction. Please share with any students you know doing IB AAHL who might find it useful. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl

Not sure what to think about this... www.popularmechanics.com/science/math...

Amazing to see real life history in Spain this weekend. Yesterday we saw Dinosaur Footprints 🦕 and today cave paintings. Can clearly see a family of 2 adults and 4 children.

I’m looking for a standardised or diagnostic assessment tool that can be used to determine specific strength and weakness of our students, with the view to improving and intervention in maths. For years 7-11. It’s an international school.

🧵 Next year my team have requested CPD on using tech in lessons. eg Geogebra/ Desmos/ AI. QUESTION 1. Can you help me by pointing me in the direction of good resources that will help me plan sessions for them on these? I’m not a technophobe but it’s not something I do enough either.

My first ever coding project was on ciphers. This turned into Crypto Corner. The site hasn't had much love from me in recent years due to other projects, but still hopefully useful. crypto.interactive-maths.com

End of Year activities? How about a game of bingo? Or a treasure hunt? Choose one (or multiple) topics and instantly create an activity. #MathsToday generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

I have 3 different websites under the Interactive Maths branding. If you teach Maths, do check them out.

In #MathsToday I am so proud of the results my IB HL and SL students achieved. 😀

In #MathsToday with year 12 / IB1 we looked at proving derivative results using proof by induction. In Year 9 we looked at the Konigsberg problem, and 'discovered' the rule for eulerian graphs.

In #MathsToday my year 7 class drew a pie chart of how they spend their free time. Obviously self reported data, but concerning how much time they think they are spending on social media.

In #MathsToday we looked at Algorithms in year 9. Used bubble sort and shuttle sort. Discussed how they are important for computers and got AI to create a little applet to show the steps. Lots of good discussion around this all.

Based upon something I put together for our exams Coordinator, this tool generates the announcement timings in exams. tutor.interactive-maths.com/exam-timings Share with whoever runs your exams as it might save them some time!

In #MathsToday we gave out 63 bronze, silver and gold certificates for the JMC, including two Olympiad qualifiers. Our best ever results!

Keep forgetting to add #MathsToday

I haven't blogged in ages... But I had a brain wave yesterday that made me want to write again. Tree Diagrams - A Brain Wave www.interactive-maths.com/blog/tree-di...

What would be some good topics to add to my #maths question generators? Currently there are 68 different ones, each with customisation options. What are the key topics people want to be able to quickly generate questions on?

Differentiating Polynomials updated on the generators, so you can make treasure hunts, odd one out, or just project example and your turn. Here are some matching cards. Free to use with no sign in (or opt to support me with a membership to remove Ads) generator.interactive-maths.com

I am quite chuffed with my new question type on the IB AAHL generator. Not so much for this particular question, but because I have managed to code it in a way that should allow me to do a lot more types on calculus. generator.interactive-maths.com/ib-aa-hl-key...

I have been playing around with Google Gemini, specifically the GEMS. They seem very powerful for things you will do a lot, as you can preload a big prompt as to the role, the output wanted, and even upload files.
