Update to my #tessellations post - in #MathsToday I finished the seahorses and made another one. I made an army of Vikings - literally!

Does anyone teach #coremaths OCR B? First year teaching this and finding it challenging, could really use some advice from someone who has taught it before.

Hello! I’m a new maths lead practitioner and have been given responsibility for developing a mastery curriculum for ks3 maths, trying to research as much as I can at the moment - any ideas for places to look/people to follow would be welcomed!

Anyone got any funky applications of the method of differences? (Further maths alevel) Asking for a friend #UKMathsChat #MathsToday #mathsky #ITeachMaths

Had a great time at #Mathsconf39 yesterday. Thank you to everyone that came to @mrsteele314.bsky.social and my session - the collective "Oohs" when people came up with good questions were a joy. #Mathstoday

Yesterday I spoke about patterns in Don Steward's answers at #mathsconf39. Coincidentally I was revising with my Y7 daughter this morning (she has a test tomorrow) & gave her two of Don's algebra pyramids. She was delighted to get the same answer twice so I checked the rest... :)

New percentages resources from Y9 lessons this week: ✨Mixed percentages fill in the blanks ✨Compound and simple interest fill in the blanks ✨Missing interest rates practice strips Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/percentages #UKMathsChat #MathsToday

I love all the resources from @draustinmaths, they are always well thought out. If you need more of these, you can create this type of activity with randomly generated questions on many topics on my site. Choose 'Codebreaker' as Activity Type. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

any good reading on primary to secondary transition in maths? #maths ##mathstoday @mathsjem.bsky.social @jemmaths.bsky.social @mrmattock.bsky.social

In #mathstoday, my Year 10 class and I decided that our fortnightly last lesson on a Friday should always end with a 'Decode the Joke' task. Thank you @draustinmaths.com , we love them!

Looked at Factorials with Year 10 in #MathsToday Started off looking at odds and evens based on the Maths Challenge question in the bottom right. I always love using Maths Challenge questions as a starting point for planning - this one was particularly fun 🧵1/4

We’re excited to share that Dr Frost Maths will be joining us at #MathsConf39. We’ve teamed up with the award-winning online platform to bring the latest available AQA GCSE exam papers directly to teachers. Come along to meet Dr Jamie Frost, ask him your questions and see the platform in action.

#Mathstoday Love these questions the year 10s did for factorising quadratics. Gave students a lot of the scaffolding they needed allowing them to move onto similar ones without the scaffolding after.

✨New A-level resources from this week's Year 12 lessons on graphical inequalities, algebraic fractions and algebraic division. The new A-level section is slowly growing! www.draustinmaths.com/a-level #MathsToday #ALevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Friday night update! Some new algebra resources: ✨Expanding Brackets Name the Film ✨Factorising Decode the Joke ✨Factorising with Bracketed Factors Practice Strips ✨Factorising Quadratics Practice Grid Freely available at www.draustinmaths.com #mathstoday #ukmathschat

Hi Maths folk, does anyone know of handy booklets to use for A-level maths intervention? Hoping for something that has questions that are easier and then build up to more exam style? Thanks for any help (also anything for Alevel FM would be appreciated) @mathsjem.bsky.social @drbennison.bsky.social

I had a tough lesson with low ability y8 on Tuesday unsuccessfully trying to find circumference of a circle but tried again in #MathsToday and thankfully the relentless work done on what is radius and what is diameter paid off. Made this sheet inspired by @draustinmaths.com fill in the blank sheets.

@draustinmaths.com Thank you for generously sharing all your resources - your site was my first thought when students needed more practice on building up sketches of quadratics!

More free resources for students preparing for TMUA Paper 2 logic: two MCQ review tests on the key topics, including necessary and sufficient conditions; counterexamples; contrapositive; converse; quantifiers and negation; logically equivalent statements. Answers too. www.tes.com/teaching-res...

Made this for my year 11. Not the most exciting and not a lot of variety in types but they wanted practice factorsing with quadratics mathshko.com/2019/10/04/alg…

In #MathsToday, Year 12 tackled some Underground Maths tasks on inequalities. Inequality sets: undergroundmathematics.org/polynomials/... Inequalities for some occasions: undergroundmathematics.org/quadratics/i... I always find with their tasks there's more to them than initially meets the eye.

In #MathsToday (this week) it's been Maclaurin series with Year 13 FM, quadratics with Year 12, and upper and lower bounds with Year 9. A couple of ✨new✨ practice strips made and added to the site - truncating numbers and using bounds to find a suitable degree of accuracy. #UKMathsChat #ALevelMaths

Wednesday was a very quiet day for me, but I enjoyed playing investigators with Y7. Everyone had to write a sequence that began 10,20… and then we tried to guess the rule that they had used. #MathsToday

#MathsToday Year 8 looked at Square numbers and used them to problem solve sums.

In #MathsToday, Year 12 looked at some graph intersections and solving some simultaneous equations, and then sketching the graphs!

Tuesday’s lesson with Y12 was something no we talked about lots in last years A Level Pedagogy Work Group - the importance of explicitly teaching pupils how to sketch graphs. Was also good to teach them Desmos skills like rescaling the axes. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

#Mathstoday The year 10s were working on finding the surface area of sphere's, cylinders and comes using Dr Austin's brilliant worksheet. The lesson before was finding the volume.

#Mathstoday Year 11 did some Histogram work with the lovely Dr Austin Plotting Histogram sheet and Plotting incomplete Histograms. Put it double sided on A4 paper and it worked great.

Hi maths teachers. I don't suppose anybody would ever willing to share a lesson on telling the time on an analogue clock for year 7 (set 9 of 9), please. My laptop has broken, yesterday of all days, so I am in a bit of a pickle this week. Thank you in advance

#Mathstoday Year 10s got to look at area and the circumference of circles. Got to use one of my favourite pages of Mathsbot. (Any chance you can add an option for semi-circle or quarter circle Jonny)

It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week 🎉🎉 and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

So it took a while, but here is the write up of my MathsConf38 session - Breaking Up with Formulae: Ratio Tables are “The One”! Turns out starting a new job the same week as presenting, then a busy summer weren't ideal for getting this done before now! 😬🫣

A-level maths teachers…how much homework do you set each week? And what is your routine? (when do you set it and when should it be completed by). #AlevelMaths

I’ll start the weekly free YouTube revision on the Thurs 11th Sept (Foundation 7-7:30pm and Higher 7:30-8pm). Gives you lovely Year 11 teachers the first week to hand the half past paper out! Full schedule here: bit.ly/HKMHPP

#Mathstoday Year 9s were practicing simplifying expressions today and did a pre check at the end of the lesson on what else they could remember for expanding brackets and factorising. Need to get some good extension work as some remembered much more than I expected!

Just a reminder that if you are about to start teaching #ALevelMaths, this book is available from the Mathematical Association @mathematicala.bsky.social online shop. In my completely unbiased opinion, it's really quite useful.

UKMT are launching a brand-new Mathematical Competition for Girls (25th September). This exciting new addition invites girls across the UK to tackle five challenging problems that encourage precision, reasoning, and creative mathematical thinking. ukmt.org.uk/competitions...
