We’ve had ‘strict/warm’ I propose ‘gentle opponent’. I often set myself up in opposition to my year 7 class. ‘You’ll never manage this one’ ‘I’ve made this way too hard. No way you can do this’ and act surprised and impressed when they inevitably complete the task. Seems to work really well.
Thank you
Looks awesome! What company did you use?
Hey maths people. What are some big pitfalls to avoid when writing examples? I’m talking stuff like using 2^2 where the correct answer can come from a misconception. Or anything else!
Trying to collect a few for a thing.
This was a lot of hours 💤

The best practical guide on AI use in the classroom 😛

Groundbreaking stuff, this is going to have a profound impact on Maths classrooms everywhere. This needs to be shared far and wide! Give it to all ITT students!
Hopes this helps people. I’ve put together a little document on how to use AI in the maths classroom. Free PDF below.
If you’re wondering how AI affects you or how you can use the new technology, please give it a click.

Maybe I’m later to this than everyone else but : PowerPoint’s convert to shape tool works amazingly well with geogebra diagrams.
Anyone want to join in with a Sunday evening Don Steward appreciation thread? I know there must be countless amazing tasks on donsteward.blogspot.com that I’ve never even looked at.

In #MathsToday, this week I've enjoyed playing a new game I've been working on: Duelling Mathematicians!

Two players at the board take turns answering maths questions, with chess clock-style timers.
The sounds/music are the best bit!

Sorry. I am 100% all in on white backgrounds. I’m not sure of the evidence behind the dyslexia claim that I have also heard.
This is what peak slide design looks like.
Hello!
There’s a chance I’m losing it
A pupil in my year 11 class wrote this nice question.
Four problems about the height of two stacks of congruent rectangles.
Four problems about diagrams made up of congruent rectangles drawn on a coordinate grid.
Three problems that can be represented by simultaneous equations: one about the length of two strings of square and circular beads, one about the weight of a bucket containing different amounts of water, and one about the value of a given number of coins.
Applications of simultaneous equations might be my favourite topic. There are just so many fun problem types! We did these Don Steward beauties in Y10 #MathsToday.
Questions like this, taken from an international maths competition for Grade 2, are great in helping to encourage pupils to develop strategies such as compare/contrast, rather than adding up the numbers on the balls as suggested. 'If you add up...' might have been better. #iTeachMath #UKMathsChat
Creating custom axes for worksheets or tests is one of my pet peeves... some great suggestions here!
I’m taking this at face value and doing pupil led lessons all tomorrow. No teacher input.
If you only have one Advent calendar in your life, make it this one!
