I've done some work on collated my worked examples over the holidays. Here's the database of those I've created over the past few years. Perhaps you can make use of them in your teaching too? kshancock.co.uk/workedexampl... #UKMathsChat

New post! As promised, I've made a new resource library for GCSE Statistics: www.resourceaholic.com/2025/08/gcse... #ukmathschat #gcsestatistics #mathstoday

My school doesn’t break up until tomorrow, nearly there! For the last couple of days I’ve been fortunate to take part in a mental first aider course with some colleagues at my school. mhfaengland.org A fabulous course that I highly recommend.

Did you know we can visualize rewriting square roots? Here's how!

Calling all Maths teachers! What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths? Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks... ... or just ones you really like. (see some of mine below)

Made for a colleague. Fractions of amounts.

Been updating mathboardwalk.com Few new topic worksheets, will be useful for the new school year, potentially for some last-minute revision too. Planning to upload more Also planning on uploading an in-between paper once Paper 1 has been sat next week #UKMathschat #GCSEStatistics #MathsToday

I made some guided revision grids for my Year 8s to revise for their summer exam while I was out on a trip. They seemed to go down well, so I might make some more for them! They could be of use in the run up to exams... www.draustinmaths.com/revision #MathsToday #UKMathsChat

"in oversimplifying the complex, messy work of T&L, we risk promoting a lack of intellectual curiosity and embedding a reluctance to question approaches or think critically. We’re on our way to dumbing down teaching" @samgibbs.bsky.social for @tesmagazine.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

We are also looking for Maths Education Support Specialists - there are roles in our teacher support team mei.livevacancies.co.uk#/job/details... and also working specifically on Data Science mei.livevacancies.co.uk#/job/details...! Please come and work with me and please share 😁

Walk 100 miles in May challenge begins. Walk 1 - 3.1 miles and a lovely evening to kick it off.

Putting this on here to make me more likely to complete it, I will update as I go along! I’m going to be doing the Walk 100 Miles Challenge this May to help raise money for Cancer Research UK 🚶🏻‍♀️

New! A quick gems post providing updates, ideas and resources for maths teachers. 💎 www.resourceaholic.com/2025/03/5-ma... #mathstoday #mathsky #ukmathschat #iteachmath

Added to the website from last half term: ✨Forming and solving equations crack the code Provided plenty of challenge for Year 9 mathematicians... and hopefully of use to anyone teaching this any time soon. Find it at www.draustinmaths.com/algebra #MathsToday #UKMathsChat

youtu.be/MYoKDS6hsKk?... Slightly obsessed with these videos 😆

NEW: I spent a lot of yesterday making an angle generator for the MathsBot curriculum. Seems a shame not to reuse the code, so I just made this. mathsbot.com/tools/angles

Great for GCSE Statistics as well.

🚨Today, the Education Policy Institute, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, has published a new report on Identifying SEND. The report provides evidence of the inequalities that exist in SEND support across schools in England. Read the full report 👉 epi.org.uk/wp-content/u... Main findings👇

I am super proud of these resources for maths teachers showcasing a diverse range of mathematicians & linking their work to the curriculum. They're a real team effort & new ones were added today to celebrate LGBT+ History Month. More to come soon 😁 #MathsToday #AMSP amsp.org.uk/resource/9f7...

‘Even though special schools and AP are bursting at the seams, government ministers appear happy to leave that problem to worsen’: @warrencarratt.bsky.social fears what the mainstream inclusion drive will mean for special schools

Current waiting times to get an assessment for adhd and autism in my local nhs range from 3 to in excess of 8 years. Something desperately needs to change. www.sheffieldchildrens.nhs.uk/services/chi...

Students learn faster when they see what something is and what it isn’t. One of the most important aspect of curriculum planning + instructional design is effectively using examples and non-examples. 🧵⬇️

I split all the GCSE Maths past papers into odd and even numbers making the perfect 45min homework paper. Then I filmed a tutorial vid for each, linked it with a QR code on the front of each paper & listed the Sparx codes for each question. They’re free and you can download them here: bit.ly/4jyYz8C

Been working with teens excluded from school. All have #SEND (most commonly ASD/ADHD/DLD) but were either diagnosed too late or not even assessed until after they were excluded. It’s heartbreaking ‘81% of children with behavioural disorders have significant language difficulties’

Continuing with circles in Year 9 and we've moved on to area and perimeter of sectors. Some new resources created for last week's lessons: ✨Area of a Sector Crack the Code ✨Arc Length and Perimeter of a Sector Odd One Out #MathsToday #UKMathsChat Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/perimeter-and-area

Nothing about this looks sensible or sustainable. Agree with @andrewoneill.bsky.social that the private / state disparity warrants a closer investigation. www.thetimes.com/article/7233...

Had a great discussion in our department CPD about the link between student oracy, mathematical communication and understanding. How do you ensure students know which expression you mean when you are explaining? How do you explicitly teach them to talk about their maths? #MathsToday #iteachmaths
