5 Maths Gems #28

Hello as well as welcome to my 28th gems post. This is where I percentage 5 teaching ideas I've seen on Twitter.

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



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

2. Election Graphs
Cav (It's election fourth dimension again' inwards which he presented around of the terrible graphs that convey been distributed every bit component of the full general election campaign. The instance below is component of Liberal Democrat MP Greg Mulholland's (@gregmulholland1) campaign. I happened to survive teaching graphs to Year seven this calendar week hence I showed them this example. I asked them to position the errors as well as hash out why somebody would attain such a misleading graph. It was a actually adept discussion.
Adam Creen (@adamcreen) had a swell watch for a related lesson - he produced a Mulholland Graphs activity in which students were asked to attain corrected graphs.
3. Two New Blogs
Stacy Brookes (@Stacy_Maths) has started a lovely novel website www.missbrookesmaths.co.uk. She really helpfully writes weblog posts featuring recommended resources. Stacy searches the cyberspace hence you lot don't convey to! For instance if you're planning a lesson on expanding unmarried bracketsratio or plans, elevations as well as 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!) hence attain explore.
Miss Norledge's (@MissNorledge) website www.norledgemaths.com is also excellent. Miss Norledge shares loads of swell resources as well as teaching ideas - for instance banking concern tally out this post service on Pythagoras' Theorem, this post service on completing the foursquare using algebra tiles as well as this post service on multiplication methods. She also does a regular 'Pick of Twitter' post. 

Both websites are fantastic for a resourceaholic similar me as well as I await frontward to seeing them grow. Do brand certain you're next @Stacy_Maths as well as @MissNorledge on Twitter.

4. Resources for the New GCSE
Here's an instance of a theme that's novel to GCSE Maths from September:
We similar a shot demand to learn 'Fibonacci type sequences, quadratic sequences as well as unproblematic geometric progressions... as well as other sequences'. I fearfulness that nosotros are under-resourced here. For around novel topics, such every bit quadratic inequalities as well as chemical compound as well as inverse functions, nosotros tin occupation existing iGCSE as well as Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 score resources. But around topics currently convey really petty available hence nosotros demand to root 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 root adding resources for novel GCSE topics to my libraries so attain permit me know if you lot brand or detect something good.

5. Classroom Practice
I dearest it when teachers percentage photos of interesting piece of work their students convey done inwards class. This is what Twitter for teachers is all close - sharing as well as inspiring. Here's a pocket-size choice of pupil piece of work that caught my oculus inwards the finally 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 learn 4 attempt classes (Year 11, Year thirteen as well as 2 Year 12 classes) hence I'm doing a lot of terminal attempt preparation. If you're inwards the same boat, you lot powerfulness survive interested inwards my recent post service close Higher GCSE Revision Resources. My resource libraries also comprise revision resources for both GCSE as well as Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 level.

Last calendar week my subdivision had an Inset inwards which nosotros looked at questions from the novel GCSE as well as discussed our schemes of work. Looking at the It's election fourth dimension again' inwards which he presented around of the terrible graphs that convey been distributed every bit component of the full general election campaign.

Lots of teachers are enjoying finding ideas as well as 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 married adult man inwards the moving-picture demo above! Just the Mad Hatter). I had a lovely eve as well as was incredibly pleased that my weblog was Highly Commended inwards the Individual Education category. I haven't stopped grin yet! Thank you lot all for your support.

I'll acquire out you lot amongst this puzzle, which was originally shared by @mathsExplorers dorsum inwards October: "To solve this multiplication grid, house digits 1 to 9. You convey to occupation each digit ane time as well as alone once".
