Year 11 had a reteach lesson today, last year I taught quadratic sequences differently, changed methods this year which really worked well for my year 10. Decided to teach the year 11s since they had completely forgotten the other method. They really preferred it.

Year 10 got to do some isometric drawing and had a go at figuring out what shape was being described. Surprisingly number 5 was the one they got stuck on. Many said square.

Year 8 had a go at perpendicular bisectors (went well) angle bisectors (less well) and equilateral triangles (well again) with a compass. Had the original lines and angles drawn on a worksheet so one less thing for them to do.

I tried
@theteacherwins.bsky.social
's idea of getting the students to take turns answering an

question, to focus on clearly setting out their steps, so that the other person could pick up from where they got up to. It went really well, and they seemed to enjoy it!

Year 10 looked at Inverse Proportion and I finally connected the graph for inverse proportion to the reciprocal graph. (How we x2 on one side so we multiply by the reciprocal to get the other side!)

Year 8 today looked at Scale (And yes this is pretty much to scale!! With the 1cm: 20 miles) Used Pythagoras to find the length of the line then scale factor to get it to be the right length between London and Birmingham for real life.

Year 10s did their test today and since it was mostly the same as my last year 10 I could compare the scores. It's nice to know where I thought I had taught better they actually did considerably better on the exam.

students were telling me about a Pi Day party they had at the weekend, complete with an integration quiz. They were so animated about it... I love teaching students who are unironically excited about being nerds 🥰😁 This lot are going to love university.

I'm on Pg 44 but I'm really enjoying it. It's been nice to think about the basics again. (And I think I already have a takeaway)

Year 11s have started doing half papers today. Used a free online pdf editor to cut it in half but it messed up loads of the powers and brackets. It gets sent to repro so can't really say only print page 1,3,5,7,9 etc...

What warning signs could students pick up on that they might have gone wrong in an answer? e.g. - an unexpected negative/decimal answer, - an answer requiring many more/fewer steps than the number of marks would suggest, - an answer that would be weird in context (e.g. a taxi costing £3000) ...

My year 11 Students were given a paper to do over the holidays. I have at least 2 of them that's obviously just cheated on it. Like what's the point, I don't understand what they are gaining from that. I've learnt nothing from their work.

Year 11 looked at Density today. It was something most of them got wrong in their mocks but I feel more confident that as long as they remember the formula its no longer an issue.

Year 8s had a lesson on angles in a quadrilateral today First question, what is a quadrilateral, about 1/3 of the class knew. (Both set 3 of 3 groups) We learnt them 3 weeks prior. Thankfully once they knew what it was they could name some.

Not sure what phase of my life I’m in, but here’s that modelling balloon icosidodecahedron nobody asked for! In theory it could be made out of a single modelling balloon, although in reality they don’t make balloons long enough :(

Here's a simple ggb. You can drag vertices around and you can click on the angles themselves to toggle the visibility of the angle sizes. Triangles and quadrilaterals:

They updated it! They separated it into measuring angles and angle rules and my link only took me to the measuring angles one. Honestly thought I was going insane with it being different.

Year 11 had one more lesson on Vectors. (They had been over complicating it) Did end up using the Dr Austin resources. Which I of course had to do first so my brain could get round all of the questions.

I feel like getting a good seating plan is harder than taking any test. I've got these 3 students who can't sit near each other but 2 need to be at the front. These 2 can't be near each other, but they also can't be next to these students. I honestly don't know if it's possible.
