Welcome to my 51st gems post. This is where I part 5 didactics ideas I've seen on Twitter.1. Exam Tips
The lovely Julia Smith (@tessmaths) industrial plant difficult to back upward maths teachers inwards Further Education as well as heighten awareness of the challenges they face. Since September 2015 she has been tweeting tips for GCSE resitters using the hashtag #gcseresit. She has right away published those tips here. Do own got a hold off - they're non only for resitters!
Top Tip 38 suggests "making revision bags for one-half terms, Christmas as well as Easter breaks - these are similar political party bags (only better) - containing sweets, examination papers as well as topic tests". I read a similar thought inwards John Corbett's (Revision: Christmas Presents'. At Christmas he pose a alternative of Corbettmaths Practice Questions in envelopes along with a pen, pencil, a small-scale handbag of sweets, a few chocolate coins as well as a revision schedule. His schoolhouse posted these packages to his students at dwelling during the holidays. Not exclusively did John's students consummate revision that they otherwise would non own got done, but they were also actually chuffed as well as to a greater extent than engaged inwards maths revision at schoolhouse every bit a final result of John's thoughtful gesture. This lovely thought would operate good at Easter too.
