A Degree Resources

At #mathsconf5 I delivered a workshop entitled 'Resources for Teaching Maths at AS Level'. I thought it mightiness hold upwards helpful to portion highlights from that presentation here. I'm going to separate my ideas into 2 separate posts - inwards today's postal service I'll listing recommended sources of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources. In my adjacent postal service I'll utter over some ideas on how to construction Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree lessons, how to operate resources as well as how to organise as well as portion resources.

Here's the slides as well as handout from my conference session.

My Top 10
In my workshop I talked through my favourite sources of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources. I narrowed it downwardly to ten, but in that place were many to a greater extent than I wanted to include.

1. Solomon Worksheets
I tend to operate extracts from Solomon worksheets for starters, plenaries or extension work. For example, if I've taught quadratic inequalities hence the interrogation below makes a overnice starter interrogation inwards the adjacent lesson:
Solomon worksheets come upwards amongst rattling clear worked solutions hence you lot could also give these worksheets to students for independent exercise at home. It's non helpful when teachers tell their students to do ongoing independent report but don't supply (or indicate them inwards the direction of) suitable exercise questions.

You likely direct maintain these worksheets on your network at school, if non hence they tin hold upwards purchased here.

2. Activities from Susan Wall
Susan Wall is considered the queen of rich tasks at Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Level. Some of her resources are on Integral, which I'll utter close inwards a infinitesimal - but some other expert agency to discovery her cloth is to search for 'Susan Wall' inwards the National STEM Centre eLibrary.

Have a larn at the interrogation below. It may solely accept you lot a minute, but it's an first-class interrogation for students who discovery this notation tricky (plus anything that involves graph sketching is worthwhile).

I also dearest Susan Wall's integration activity below. Again, this is bully for getting students to intend rather than simply follow procedures.

3. Integral
Every schoolhouse should direct maintain a subscription to integralmaths.org. Provided yesteryear the MEI as well as FMSP, it's an extensive collection of notes, activities, worksheets as well as assessments for every Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree module as well as seek out board. The indices maze below is simply ane instance of MEI/FMSP cloth - there's a huge diversity of resources on Integral hence it's worth spending a hateful solar daytime inwards the holidays exploring.

This guide provides detailed data close the content of Integral. Another instance of an Integral activity is shown below. I dearest this activity!
4. TES - SRWhitehouse
There's loads of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources on TES - my favourite contributor is Susan Whitehouse. I operate her resources inwards almost every lesson. I discovery her materials especially useful when instruction C3 as well as C4 - you'll discovery lots of links to these inwards my A2 resources library.

Her indices activity (extract below) is excellent. I await that most people operate this when instruction indices at Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree or GCSE, but it also makes a helpful starter inwards a lesson on differentiating expressions amongst negative as well as fractions indices. Question half dozen as well as vii below frequently stimulate confusion for students - they desire to write both equally 2x-3.
The logs activity shown below is some other instance of a Susan Whitehouse activity that I operate regularly.
5. Teachit Maths
Teachit Maths is a bully website for Key Stage iii as well as GCSE. PDF resources are available for free. Their collection of Key Stage v resources is growing. I don't frequently operate card-based activities but I do similar their log dominoes. I've used them earlier as well as they worked well.
I similar this Pairs of Lines activity besides - it would piece of employment inwards both a Higher GCSE lesson as well as inwards an AS coordinate geometry lesson.
6. Mathematics Assessment Project
The materials of the Shell Centre) remind me of the Standards Unit materials (more on that inwards a minute). They supply well-designed tasks for formative as well as summative assessment. Although these materials are designed for the United States curriculum, there's enough of first-class resources for Key Stage 3, iv as well as 5. There's 2 lessons that I especially like: Sorting Equations of Circles 1 as well as Sorting Equations of Circles 2. I frequently operate the 'Going circular inwards circles' poster chore (solution shown below). I operate this when I've simply taught students the equation of a circle - instead of giving them a textbook exercise, I give them this grid on A3 paper. Working inwards pairs, they direct maintain to identify diverse equations of circles on the grid.
The 2nd circles lesson is also total of first-class tasks - an extract is shown below.
7. CMEP
We're rattling lucky that the Cambridge Mathematics Enhancement Project - an initiatory to prepare Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources - is currently producing loads of fantastic novel material. If you lot desire to access these resources spell they're nevertheless nether evolution hence you'll demand to register amongst CMEP (although some materials are currently available through NRICH). It won't hold upwards long though until the total collection of CMEP resources are made available to all. Some of their materials are enrichment problems for high attainers, but there's also fluency exercises as well as scaffolded tasks. For instance I similar this 'Logarithm lattice':
as well as this 'Integral chasing' activity:
8. Don Steward
I can't utter close resources without recommending my hero Don Steward. His weblog (Median) contains rich tasks for xi - xvi twelvemonth olds, but many of his higher halt GCSE resources are suitable for Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree too. Topics include algebra, quadratics, trigonometry, sequences, surds, indices, cubics, graph transformations as well as coordinate geometry. An instance is his activity 'geometric series, some amongst surds' which was designed for the novel GCSE but is suitable for C2 (Edexcel).
I've already blogged close his 'one wrong simplification' tasks which worked brilliantly on Year 12 induction day.
And here's some other typical Don Steward chore - this ane is on cubics:
9. The Standards Unit
We all know as well as dearest the "Improving Learning inwards Mathematics" (or Standards Units) resourcesThere's a expert alternative for Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree that are good worth exploring. In the yesteryear I've e'er gone instantly for the resources at the back, but late I've discovered that the lesson ideas as well as questioning prompts are also incredibly helpful.  Here's an instance from Matching Functions as well as Derivatives:
10. as well as #mathsTLP
The libraries at resourceaholic.com comprise hundreds of links to hand-picked Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources. My AS Core library is e'er the commencement identify I cheque when planning a C1 or C2 lesson. Resources are grouped yesteryear topic. The extract below is from a 'Fun Sheet' (I can't discovery a re-create of the master copy mass it came from) - it's a lovely activity for simplifying elementary trigonometric expressions earlier coming together trigonometric identities.
On my weblog you'll also discovery lots of Introducing Differentiation, Algebraic Division, Radians, Logs as well as Factorising Harder Quadratics. I frequently characteristic Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree ideas inwards my Gems posts besides - here's ane from John Smith.
Finally, #mathsTLP is every Dominicus eve 7pm - 8pm. This is a Twitter chat inwards which lesson ideas as well as resources are shared. Join inwards to inquire for assist or offering ideas. This is the form of matter you lot mightiness tweet:
More sources
I used to intend that in that place weren't many Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources around, but it turns out there's enough out there. Every schoolhouse needs a difficult working Key Stage v Coordinator to come upwards into schoolhouse during the holidays as well as pass a hateful solar daytime or 2 downloading as well as organising resources! I'll tell to a greater extent than close this inwards my adjacent post.

There were lots of websites that I didn't get upwards inwards the listing to a higher identify that should definitely hold upwards on your radar. If I'd had longer than l minutes for my workshop, I'd direct maintain included the websites listed below (and many more!):
  • MathedUp! - lots of first-class Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree links including activities, PowerPoints as well as videos.
  • next post volition characteristic to a greater extent than ideas for instruction Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree maths.





#Mathsconf5

Yesterday La Salle Education held their 5th National Maths Teacher Conference. I didn't attend the start i (I was rattling novel to Twitter at the time) but I've attended the concluding iv conferences in addition to get got actually enjoyed them all. I honey learning to a greater extent than most maths didactics - I ever acquire dorsum to schoolhouse feeling inspired in addition to total of fresh ideas.

This fourth dimension the conference was held at Ponds Forge inwards Sheffield. The venue was a flake crude oil around the edges in addition to it was a shame that at that topographic point was no technical back upwards available for presenters, but Sheffield is ever a pleasance to visit. I travelled upwards afterward schoolhouse on Friday, spending my long develop journeying marker terrible S1 homeworks (note to self: instruct measure divergence again!). At Doncaster I bumped into some other Jo (the lovely @JoLocke1) - it was overnice to get got a companion for the residual of the journey. Following a brief halt at the hotel nosotros went to the pre-conference drinks at All Bar One. It was actually overnice to relax in addition to verbalise to people alongside usual interests - I enjoyed chatting most maths didactics alongside tweeps including (pictured below) @suzekward, @Ms_Kmp, @MoreThanMaths and @MsSteel_Maths.
In the morn I walked over to the conference alongside Jo Gledhill (the swain Lead Practitioner I'd met on my agency to Sheffield), Charmayne Bailey (also a Lead Practitioner, just dorsum from Shanghai) in addition to Mo Ladak (AST in addition to writer of the vivid website MathedUp!). What fantastic people - I couldn't get got asked for ameliorate company. On arrival I spotted not-so-grumpy Ed Southall (of solvemymaths.com - creator of the Maths Mr Men) - he kindly bought me a bacon sandwich in addition to told me most the book he's writing, which is going to live absolutely essential reading for maths teachers.

I'm at i time going to portion my thoughts on the iii workshops I attended - I'm non a non bad banker's complaint taker hence these are non detailed accounts, just a few highlights.

New GCSE - Andrew Taylor in addition to Craig Barton
This workshop left me slightly terrified most the novel GCSE! I honey Craig's operate but I've never seen him nowadays before. He is a highly entertaining in addition to engaging presenter in addition to I rattling much enjoyed listening to his thoughts in addition to insights. I'm quite familiar alongside the novel GCSE content - I've complied a whole page total of resources for the novel topics - but taking some other human face at sample examination questions, alongside Craig's commentary, was incredibly helpful. My immediate thoughts were:
  • The novel content on Foundation - for event trigonometry in addition to quadratics - is only non suitable for this tier. The inclusion of these novel topics seems to totally negate the signal of a two-tier GCSE. This form of nonsense makes me cross. 
  • In my persuasion our maths curriculum is far besides broad at Key Stage 4 (for both tiers) - instead of including novel topics, topics should get got been removed hence nosotros tin comprehend the of import materials inwards to a greater extent than depth. The authorities is desperate to improve our international maths rankings, but I believe that what nosotros instruct is a bigger employment than how nosotros instruct - in addition to inwards my persuasion the novel GCSE has gone inwards the incorrect direction.
  • The novel GCSE volition include familiar topics inwards non-routine questions. I similar the mode of the novel GCSE questions rattling much but they volition for sure nowadays a large challenge for most students. The examples Craig showed clearly demonstrated this. We get got our operate cutting out! 
Craig announced a novel resources from AQA in addition to diagnosticquestions.com which I'm sure volition testify rattling helpful.  Here you volition find a collection of multiple selection quizzes inwards the mode of novel GCSE questions (more coming soon). As there's a Foundation in addition to Higher version for each topic, Craig suggested using the Foundation tests equally a baseline, in addition to then didactics the content, in addition to then using the Higher tests to assess progress. An event query is shown below.

As I've said, I don't brand non bad notes at conferences - but I was sitting adjacent to Ed during this session and, equally you lot tin see, his notes are crystal clear... Yes, that's a sheep.

Paper Maths - Jenny Steel
Pink-haired Jenny is fabulous, in addition to I knew just what to hold back from her workshop - lots of fourth dimension to play alongside paper, interspersed alongside didactics ideas. It was actually fun in addition to at that topographic point was a lovely atmosphere inwards the room. I'm non not bad alongside this form of affair (I've never had whatever success whatsoever alongside origami) but foldables (which are large inwards America) are definitely something I tin manage.
Check out Jenny's blog for lots to a greater extent than most this. She's planning to ready a website for sharing foldables too.

During this workshop I was rattling lucky to sit down adjacent to Kim (@Ms_Kmp) who writes the wonderful website mathssandpit.co.uk - she's rattling creative in addition to was showing me all sorts of fantastic newspaper maths. Here's my tabular array enjoying themselves:
Thanks to Suzanne Gardner for showing me a clever fob for making a quick revision booklet. And Ed (@solvemymaths) told us how to revitalise gum sticks - set a drib of H2O inwards the lid, set the lid on in addition to go out it upside downwards overnight. 

Overall this was a non bad workshop - thank you lot rattling much to Jenny for organising it.

Shanghai - Bruno Reddy, Craig Jeavons, Matt Fox
With iii presenters just dorsum from Shanghai, I knew there'd live a lot to acquire here. I enjoyed this session rattling much. As good equally all the myth busting (most strikingly, the fry sleeping at the dorsum of a classroom), enough of transferable didactics ideas were shared inwards this session. Craig has blogged most it here - slides in addition to notes volition live available shortly hence these ideas tin live shared to a greater extent than widely. 

We looked at how indices are taught, including the progression of questions which was fascinating. We also looked at translation (that's slide/glide to my non-UK readers) - I honey the agency the topic is introduced using videos in addition to pictures, followed yesteryear rattling clear, good structured explanations.

Narrative plays a large utilization inwards maths lessons inwards Shanghai - I wrote most the benefits of didactics through storytelling inwards my shipping service most High Expectations.
Picture by @DrBennison
Overall this was an fantabulous session - I liked hearing most maths didactics inwards Shanghai from iii unlike perspectives in addition to the content gave me a lot to intend about.

I was pleased alongside all my workshop choices. I'm getting ameliorate at picking the correct sessions - those that incorporate master copy ideas or helpful insights in addition to are straight relevant to my utilization or comprehend an surface area of involvement to me. I was rattling distressing to missy Kris Bolton's workshop on the Stories of Maths, but Tom Bennison came to the rescue in addition to filmed the whole verbalise (video here) - hurrah!

I hope that people who attended my workshop on H5N1 degree resources establish it to live content-rich in addition to good structured - whatever feedback is welcome. I wishing I'd had to a greater extent than fourth dimension hence that delegates could get got a acquire at to a greater extent than of the activities I shared. But I did my best to comprehend equally much equally I could inwards l minutes in addition to I promise people establish it helpful. I've written all most my workshop blog for lots to a greater extent than most this. She's planning to ready a website for sharing foldables too.

TweetUp
Julia Smith (@tessmaths) did a vivid labor of organising the TweetUp at lunchtime. I was inwards accuse of the photobooth - give thank you lot you to all who posed for a photo.

Cakes in addition to Gifts 
Huge thank you lot to Andrew Paget, Julia Smith in addition to Rob Smith for the gifts - such generous people. Thanks also to Luke Graham for inviting me to acquire involved inwards his GCSE collaboration session which I'm sure he'll weblog most soon. 

Apologies for non mentioning everyone who I spoke to - it actually was lovely to run across novel people, in addition to to consider people i time again who I've met at previous conferences.

I ever honey the cake contest - the within of the Rubik's Cube cake was peculiarly impressive! All the cakes were awesome, but I was pleased to consider the circle theorem cakes win the prize - banking concern check out the tiny tangents.

Overall it was a non bad twenty-four hours - I met many many lovely people, talked a lot most maths teaching, felt inspired, in addition to survived my workshop inwards i slice (phew!). Thanks to La Salle for some other vivid conference. See you lot all at the adjacent one.

A Score Resources #2

This is my minute post close my previous post I shared some of my favourite Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade resources. In this post I'm roofing the other primal points from my workshop:
1. The demand for resources.
2. Using problems sets.
3. Getting organised (including schemes of work).
I also utter over how to portion additional resources amongst students, which I didn't receive got fourth dimension to embrace at the conference.

I exactly desire to clarify something earlier I start - resources are helpful, but inwards my hear in that place is nada to a greater extent than of import than clarity of explanation. Good Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade teachers receive got audio dependent area cognition in addition to know how to explicate things well. Please don't intend that my focus on resources at the conference suggests that I intend that resources receive got precedence! They don't. They're squeamish to receive got though.

Is the textbook enough? 
I started my workshop past times discussing the demand for Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade resources. I oftentimes purpose Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade textbook exercises for practise inwards class, but produce I demand anything else?

To respond that enquiry let's await at my typical lesson structure. I don't produce anything revolutionary inwards my Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade didactics - no flipped learning, no enquiry - my mode is fairly traditional. I'm non proverb this is the best agency to learn Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 level, it's exactly the agency I teach.
In the construction to a higher identify you lot tin meet that I ordinarily start amongst a skills banking concern lucifer in addition to refresher (sometimes an examination enquiry relating to what nosotros did inwards the final lesson, sometimes a brusque puzzle or activity), hence I demand resources at this point. I'll hence learn something novel in addition to my students volition practise that novel science (again, I'll demand resources hither - a textbook, worksheet or activity). Formative assessment of skills during this activeness volition assist me decide which students demand to a greater extent than explanation. Imagine the class splitting into ii groups at this betoken - those who've demonstrated agreement in addition to are developing fluency, in addition to those who demand to a greater extent than back upwards (I mightiness demand some differentiated activities here). After the lesson I demand to produce some summative assessment, hence I mightiness laid a homework which I volition receive got inwards in addition to mark, or I mightiness assess students inwards a examine on a subsequently appointment - again, I demand resources for these assessment activities. Finally, I tell my students to produce ongoing independent practise in addition to I demand to betoken them inwards the direction of resources for this. So you lot tin meet that in that place are many opportunities to purpose a multifariousness of resources throughout the lesson. The textbook does non embrace all these bases. Thankfully there's loads of vivid Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade resources available - read my previous post for ideas.

In my workshop I shared iii activities from MEI in addition to asked delegates to utter over whether they'd purpose these, in addition to how they could purpose them. For event I oftentimes purpose the start activeness below (Logs True or False past times Susan Wall) every bit a quick refresher (ie a starter), but it also plant good for formative assessment (perhaps amongst mini-whiteboards) and/or basic skills practice.


The coordinate geometry resource to a higher identify plant good inwards a consolidation lesson - students describe their working diagram inwards the middle of A3 newspaper in addition to stick each chore (and their answers) roughly the border inwards the gild they completed the tasks. The thought is to acquire them thinking close the data they demand to respond each question.

Problem sets
Time is a huge occupation inwards Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade teaching. At my previous schoolhouse nosotros had 8 lessons a fortnight (split 5/3 betwixt ii teachers) inwards both Year 12 in addition to Year 13. This but was non plenty fourth dimension to learn iii modules. I was ever rushing through topics in addition to oftentimes stressed close running out of time. At my novel schoolhouse nosotros acquire to a greater extent than fourth dimension (10 lessons a fortnight inwards Year 12 in addition to nine lessons a fortnight inwards Year 13) - this is much better, though I withal experience some fourth dimension pressure. I'd dear to pass fourth dimension on occupation solving but 'getting through the examination specification' takes priority. For the strange occasion when I produce acquire the chance to produce some occupation solving amongst my students, I've collated a disclose of problems sets (suitable for GCSE in addition to AS level):
I got the problems from diverse sources (information listed inwards the PowerPoints). I ordinarily impress the PDFs on A3 newspaper in addition to acquire students to hold upwards amongst a partner to solve the problems inwards whatever order.
Getting organised
When I was Key Stage five Coordinator I went into schoolhouse during the summertime holidays in addition to spent a twenty-four hours downloading in addition to organising hundreds of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade resources. This saves everyone a lot of fourth dimension in addition to attempt during term time. I organised these resources past times theme on the schoolhouse network in addition to added them to my school's Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade Schemes of Work. I've moved schools directly but took all the files amongst me (attendees at my conference session were given my extensive C1/C2 resources files every bit a give thank you lot you for coming!).
Extract from C2 Scheme of Work

Some schools don't purpose schemes of hold upwards for Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 level. It's non a necessity similar it is at Key Stage 3 in addition to GCSE. I was lucky that nosotros had first-class schemes of hold upwards at my previous schoolhouse which contained lots of links to resources - these were ready in addition to regularly updated past times my colleagues.

At the destination of my workshop a delegate asked if I'd portion these schemes of hold upwards in addition to I promised I would, hence here's C1 - C4 for you lot to borrow in addition to edit. None of the hyperlinks volition hold upwards inwards these documents because they were linked to the schoolhouse network, non the internet, but at to the lowest degree it's a starting betoken for the structure.

Incidentally, if I were starting a resources collection from scratch hence I'd reckon using Pinterest or Pealrtrees to concord my collection because I dear the 'snapshot' format.

Sharing resources amongst students
Consider setting upwards a weblog or Twitter delineate of piece of work concern human relationship for your students - receive got students to an information technology Room in addition to acquire them to follow the delineate of piece of work concern human relationship or register for e-mail updates to ensure you lot acquire an audience. Publish essential data (eg assessment dates, homework deadlines) in addition to hand access to resources, tips, enrichment in addition to hence on. In the twelvemonth that I was Key Stage five Coordinator, I wrote a Sixth Form Maths Blog - it has been abandoned directly I've left the school, which is a shame because I was actually proud of it. It was a swell agency to encourage independent learning in addition to to hand students opportunities to improve. Below is an event post hence you lot tin meet how I shared resources amongst students. If you lot desire to meet an event Twitter delineate of piece of work concern human relationship for students, await at @MathsNewVic.

So that's it! I hope these ii posts receive got helped you lot inwards creating or enhancing your collection of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade resources. If you lot attended my workshop I hope you lot flora it useful. Please comment below to portion anything adept that I've missed - I'd dear to meet your favourite resources in addition to hear close what you lot do.

A Degree Resources

At #mathsconf5 I delivered a workshop entitled 'Resources for Teaching Maths at AS Level'. I thought it mightiness hold upwards helpful to portion highlights from that presentation here. I'm going to separate my ideas into 2 separate posts - inwards today's postal service I'll listing recommended sources of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 degree resources.
