5 Maths Gems #28

Hello too welcome to my 28th gems post. This is where I part v teaching ideas I've seen on Twitter.

1. Math Snacks
I spotted a tweet from @fawnpnguyen near the website mathsnacks.com. The website's tagline is 'Smart educational animations, mini-games, too interactive tools that handle mid-school learners amend sympathise math concepts'. Check out the animation Atlantean Dodgeball which is all near ratio. The video is clever too funny too the associated resources are real good.



The other animations are also worth a look. Number Rights, inwards which a passionate fractional activist rises upwards too demands equity for all numbers, is lovely (if a picayune bizarre).

2. Election Graphs
Cav (It's election fourth dimension again' inwards which he presented unopen to of the terrible graphs that accept been distributed equally component of the full general election campaign. The trial below is component of Liberal Democrat MP Greg Mulholland's (@gregmulholland1) campaign. I happened to last teaching graphs to Year vii this calendar week thus I showed them this example. I asked them to position the errors too verbalize over why individual would create such a misleading graph. It was a actually expert discussion.
Adam Creen (@adamcreen) had a bully watch for a related lesson - he produced a Mulholland Graphs activity in which students were asked to create corrected graphs.
3. Two New Blogs
Stacy Brookes (@Stacy_Maths) has started a lovely novel website www.missbrookesmaths.co.uk. She real helpfully writes weblog posts featuring recommended resources. Stacy searches the network thus yous don't accept to! For trial if you're planning a lesson on expanding unmarried bracketsratio or plans, elevations too isometric drawing then you're inwards luck - she has a post service for each of these topics. There's enough to a greater extent than on her website (and lots yet to come!) thus attain explore.
Miss Norledge's (@MissNorledge) website www.norledgemaths.com is also excellent. Miss Norledge shares loads of bully resources too teaching ideas - for trial depository fiscal establishment lucifer out this post service on Pythagoras' Theorem, this post service on completing the foursquare using algebra tiles too this post service on multiplication methods. She also does a regular 'Pick of Twitter' post. 

Both websites are fantastic for a resourceaholic similar me too I hold off forrad to seeing them grow. Do brand certain you're next @Stacy_Maths too @MissNorledge on Twitter.

4. Resources for the New GCSE
Here's an trial of a theme that's novel to GCSE Maths from September:
We similar a shot demand to instruct 'Fibonacci type sequences, quadratic sequences too uncomplicated geometric progressions... too other sequences'. I fearfulness that nosotros are under-resourced here. For unopen to novel topics, such equally quadratic inequalities too chemical compound too inverse functions, nosotros tin utilisation existing iGCSE too H5N1 marker resources. But unopen to topics currently accept real picayune available thus nosotros demand to outset creating resources. Ed Southall (@solvemymaths) has started the ball rolling past times creating these lovely activities - Geometric Sequences Card Sort and Geometric Sequences Worksheet.
I desire to outset adding resources for novel GCSE topics to my libraries so attain allow me know if yous brand or discovery something good.

5. Classroom Practice
I dear it when teachers part photos of interesting piece of job their students accept done inwards class. This is what Twitter for teachers is all near - sharing too inspiring. Here's a modest option of pupil piece of job that caught my optic inwards the in conclusion week.
3D enlargements from @ThetfordMaths
Interesting approach from @mburnsmath's student


Fractional representations from @surreallyno
Number bonds activity from @LttMaths...
...and solution from @BucksburnMaths
Update
I'm ridiculously busy at schoolhouse at the moment. I instruct 4 show classes (Year 11, Year thirteen too 2 Year 12 classes) thus I'm doing a lot of in conclusion show preparation. If you're inwards the same boat, yous mightiness last interested inwards my recent post service near Higher GCSE Revision Resources. My resource libraries also comprise revision resources for both GCSE too H5N1 level.

Last calendar week my subdivision had an Inset inwards which nosotros looked at questions from the novel GCSE too discussed our schemes of work. Looking at the It's election fourth dimension again' inwards which he presented unopen to of the terrible graphs that accept been distributed equally component of the full general election campaign.

Lots of teachers are enjoying finding ideas too resources through #mathsTLP - attain bring together inwards at 7pm on Sundays, all welcome.
Last Fri I attended the UK Blog Awards 2015 (no, that's non my hubby inwards the motion-picture demo above! Just the Mad Hatter). I had a lovely eventide too was incredibly pleased that my weblog was Highly Commended inwards the Individual Education category. I haven't stopped grin yet! Thank yous all for your support.

I'll exit yous alongside this puzzle, which was originally shared by @mathsExplorers dorsum inwards October: "To solve this multiplication grid, house digits 1 to 9. You accept to utilisation each digit ane time too solely once".
