5 Maths Gems #19

Hello in addition to welcome to my 19th gems post. This is where I part approximately of the best didactics ideas I've seen on Twitter each week. Most of my gems convey come upwards from across the Atlantic today.

1. Polygraph
There's been a lot of buzz almost Desmos' novel Polygraph activities. They're mathematical versions of Guess Who, designed to 'foster the pleasance in addition to the ability of words without the drudgery of the lists'. There are currently 4 Polygraph activities:

Let's expect at Polygraph: Parabolas. Students move inwards pairs (a picker in addition to a guesser) on split upwards tablets, phones or computers. The picker selects a graph from a ready of parabolas. The guesser sees the same ready of parabolas - their trace is to position which graph the picker has chosen past times cry for a serial of yes/no questions. For instance they mightiness inquire almost the seat out of roots or the place of the vertex or y-intercept. The guesser types their questions in addition to the picker responds alongside yes, no, or don't know. The guesser keeps cry for questions until they are able to position the chosen graph.
Students in addition to then convey the chance to analyse in addition to refine their questioning, in addition to y'all convey a flat discussion to formalise the mathematical vocabulary.

As alongside Desmos' awesome Gems 13, it's incredibly quick in addition to slow to larn started. I'm going to survive didactics quadratics to Year 10 before long in addition to can't hold back to purpose the Parabolas activity. And I computer program to purpose the Linear Graphs version alongside my Year 9s too.
Extract from Polygraph: Lines
2. Point, Point, Gradient
Tina Cardone (@crstn85) shared this lovely activity 'Point, Point, Slope' past times Michael Fenton (@mjfenton). It's a unproblematic precisely effective lesson stance inwards which students convey to purpose whatsoever digit from 2 to ix to create 2 points - y'all could rank them post-its or seat out tiles to shuffle around. You furnish criteria, such every bit 'create 2 points which create upwards one's heed a trace alongside the greatest possible gradient'. Read the amount post for to a greater extent than ideas. There's loads y'all could create alongside this activity, for instance y'all could inquire your students to use half dozen unlike digits (from 0 - 9) to create iii points which prevarication on the same line. It's a expert agency to railroad train agreement of linear graphs in addition to I cry back it would move good at both GCSE in addition to AS level.

Michael's spider web log is amount of fantabulous ideas. For instance in Two Fractions students house digits in addition to operators inwards the boxes below to brand an facial expression alongside the greatest possible value.
This reminds me of the Blanks activities I featured inwards Gems 17, which y'all tin rank the axe read to a greater extent than almost inwards Sarah Aldous' post Gems 13 I talked almost making your students 'Number Experts'. I shared 2 websites that are useful for finding out properties of numbers (numbergossip.com in addition to numdic.com). Both websites are fantabulous - for example, numbergossip.com tells me that 28 is a perfect, composite, happy number, and numdic.com (which wins the prize for funniest URL) gives me the binary in addition to Roman Numeral representations of 28. I've immediately discovered a novel website - the Number Property Calculator - which I similar because of the agency it gives data almost the important of the seat out properties. Here's a small extract from what comes upwards when I search for 28:
I flora this website when I was browsing through sometime posts on Math Munch. Math Munch is a 'Weekly Digest of the Mathematical Internet'. It's packed amount of fantastic resources in addition to ideas thus it's definitely worth subscribing to have weekly e-mail updates, in addition to y'all tin rank the axe follow them on Twitter also (@MathMunch).

5. Drawing Euclid
Andy Shaw (@Squidworm74) pointed me inwards the direction of these lovely Euclid videos on YouTube past times Shoo Rayner (@shoorayner). They are fantastic videos in addition to I can't hold back to part them alongside my Year vii students. Check out the amount playlist here. Here's an instance almost unlike types of triangles:



That's it for this week. I promise you've flora approximately inspiration inwards this post. I'll move out y'all alongside this bright video past times the always awesome Vi Hart - The Gauss Christmath Special. Thanks to Chris Smith (@app03102) for sharing this.




Have a wonderful Christmas!

5 Maths Gems #36

One twelvemonth agone today I started my gems series. In my outset gems post I explained my thinking:

"I’m fairly novel to Twitter. My absence over the final few years agency I’ve missed out on thousands of first-class educational activity ideas. Twitter is a rootage of endless inspiration. So I accept a plan. I’m going to write a weekly post highlighting 5 smashing novel ideas I’ve gleaned from Twitter. These posts volition assist me think things. And hopefully my readers volition create goodness too."

I was right - these posts actually create assist me think things. They assist me procedure as well as organise lots of practiced ideas.

Since I returned to function from motherhood learn out inwards Jan I haven't been able to post every week, only I create even as well as thus write a twosome of Gem Awards helpful - this is a post I wrote inwards Apr 2015 where I picked out some of my favourite ideas as well as resources.

Today I acquaint my 36th gems post. I promise there's something useful for y'all here.

1. Area Maze
I beloved the novel Area Maze puzzles from Naoki Inaba. Alex Bellos featured them every bit his Monday Puzzle inwards The Guardian this week. The aim is to uncovering the missing value marked alongside a inquiry mark. These puzzles tin endure solved using alone whole numbers. Alex's article featured a alternative of Area Mazes, from this example...

... to this.
These are perfect puzzles for students - accessible yet challenging. There's a costless app too.

2. Warm-Ups
I've read some dainty posts nearly lesson starters recently. These are all worth a read if you're looking for fresh ideas to start your lessons:
I specially similar Sarah Hagan's Good Things - I innovation to purpose it every bit a weekly activity inwards shape fourth dimension side yesteryear side year.

I've also latterly discovered maths-starters.co.uk, which is currently nether development. I similar Calculate Cascade and Parallel Panic
3. Desmos Activities
Polygraph Rocks volition rank y'all a practiced persuasion what it's all about. I'm excited nearly trying out Polygraph Quadrilaterals, Water Line as well as Tile Pile.

Desmos latterly announced the launch of Activity Builder. This allows teachers to construct their ain Desmos activities as well as portion them alongside other teachers for purpose inwards their lessons. There's a blog post hither explaining how it works.

This calendar week I've seen loads of bright novel Desmos activities. Here's iii examples that demo the versatility of this tool:

I also spotted this activity Intro to graphs as well as desmos basics by Sara B. Vaughn ‏(@Vaughn_trapped) which has inspired me to brand my ain activity to innovate Desmos to my students.

4. Pixel Puzzles
Stacy Brookes (@Stacy_Maths) continues to write helpful blog posts nearly where to uncovering resources. She also creates many first-class resources of her own. I similar her novel persuasion - pixel puzzles. In these engaging worksheets, students respond questions as well as uncovering the corresponding answers inwards a grid. They shade the right answers as well as the shaded squares shape a picture. This is a smashing persuasion as well as I await frontwards to seeing to a greater extent than of these from Stacy. I've added them to my resource library.
5. Fractions inwards Geogebra
Here's mortal novel to follow on Twitter: Neil Dickson (Equivalent Fractions which features this Geogebra tool which tin endure used to back upward the educational activity of fractions. Have a play alongside it, it's excellent. I beloved fact that y'all tin drag ane diagram onto the other to run into the equivalence.
Update
I accept a novel Facebook page! It's facebook.com/resourceaholic. Please similar it! I was inspired yesteryear Ed's facebook page facebook.com/solvemymaths which I uncovering actually helpful. It's slow to missy things on Twitter only similar a shot I never missy Ed's posts.

I enjoyed Stuart Price's (Gems 34 - I'd never heard of Pearltrees earlier this). I intend to comport on organising resources inwards my workshop at #mathsconf5. Have y'all got your ticket yet?

That's it for this week. One twelvemonth of maths gems - as well as enough to a greater extent than even as well as thus to come. Happy anniversary to me.

Polygraph Rocks

Gems 19.

My Year 10s are really smart girls as well as we've been working on quadratics for a duet of weeks - it's been a fleck 'death past times algebra' to live on honest. We've practised factorising, solving, using the formula, sketching as well as completing the square. Today I got them inward an information technology room as well as nosotros had a larn at Polygraph: Parabolas. It was superb.

One of the huge advantages of this lesson is that it requires absolutely cipher preparation. Once you've registered amongst Desmos, simply log inward as well as start the activity. Your students larn to student.desmos.com and locomote inward a code as well as their name, therefore off they go. You don't actually demand to hand whatever instructions because Desmos does it all for you.

The bulk of the lesson is similar a game of 'Guess Who' but for parabolas. Each educatee chooses a parabola from a choice as well as Desmos randomly pairs them upwardly amongst some other student. Their partner therefore has to type yes/no questions to figure out which parabola they've chosen.

Behind the scenes the instructor is able to monitor all the conversations. The interface is fantastic. 

Here's some examples of the questions asked past times my students today:
These examples were from quite early on inward the lesson. Throughout the lesson I occasionally picked out actually skilful questions as well as shared them amongst the whole class. At ane betoken I wrote 6 words on the board as well as encouraged students to outset using those words inward their questions:
  • Roots
  • Quadrant
  • Intercept
  • Vertex
  • Origin
  • Symmetry
I was actually impressed past times how speedily their mathematical linguistic communication developed. They started using the novel words (roots, vertex as well as quadrant) fluently. It was a pleasance to watch. Even when they got a fleck silly, they were using sophisticated terminology:

The lesson includes other tasks which give away misconceptions, similar the query below.
Overall it was a fantastic lesson. I actually saw my students' mathematical vocabulary develop. I too saw progress inward their agreement of quadratic graphs. The lesson was slow to project design as well as utterly engaging. 

At the goal I allow them play or therefore amongst Polygraph: Hexagons for ten minutes. Wow, they actually don't convey a clue how to depict polygons! We'll tackle that some other 24-hour interval though.

Well done Desmos, Polygraph rocks.
