5 Maths Gems #87

Welcome to my 87th gems post. This is where I part some of the latest news, ideas together with resources for maths teachers.

1. Regular Recall
Starting a lesson amongst mixed topic questions seems to endure fairly mutual do these days. Many teachers purpose resources similar Corbett Maths v a Day. Taking this sentiment a pace further, some teachers on Twitter cause got of late shared examples of tasks where students are asked a inquiry on what they did concluding lesson, concluding week, concluding term together with concluding year. Here's a slap-up example from @MissBanksMaths.
And here's an before blog post about retrieval challenge do grids.
This is i of those rare ideas that plant good inward most subjects. Here's an example for physics by @alexpboulton.
2. GCSE Papers
I've blogged nigh CrashMaths (@crashMATHS_CM) before. Their website is a expert source of do examination papers for both GCSE together with the novel Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 level. They've of late added a novel laid of Edexcel-style Higher GCSE papers (Set B), which includes this overnice non-calculator question:
They've also of late added a brace of Higher AQA-style papers to Set Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 together with some helpful GCSE worksheets.

Another useful laid of resources on CrashMaths is for the Edexcel Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree large information set. This includes an information together with guidance document for students together with six do questions.

3. Goal Free Problems
If you've read Craig Barton's mass 'How I Wish I'd Taught Maths', you'll already endure familiar amongst Goal Free Problems. In Chapter 4, which is all nigh focusing thinkingCraig explains that spell most examination questions are goal-specific, he at in i trial makes purpose of goal-free problems inward the early on cognition acquisition phase. He also uses goal-free examination papers to kick-start the revision process. If you lot haven't already done so, read Craig's mass to encounter some examples of these problems together with to fully sympathise the goal-free consequence together with how it relates to Cognitive Load Theory.

Thanks to @MrMattock who has at in i trial created a costless website - goalfreeproblems.blogspot.co.uk - which shares a large pose out of these problems for both Higher together with Foundation tier. In each of these examination questions, the actual inquiry has been removed together with replaced amongst the words 'Work out what you lot tin from this information'.
