Hey maths people. What are some big pitfalls to avoid when writing examples? I’m talking stuff like using 2^2 where the correct answer can come from a misconception. Or anything else!
Trying to collect a few for a thing.

Anyone want to join in with a Sunday evening Don Steward appreciation thread? I know there must be countless amazing tasks on donsteward.blogspot.com that I’ve never even looked at.

What are your favourites?

In #MathsToday, this week I've enjoyed playing a new game I've been working on: Duelling Mathematicians!

interwovenmaths.com/duels

Two players at the board take turns answering maths questions, with chess clock-style timers.
The sounds/music are the best bit!

More topics being added soon...

Sorry. I am 100% all in on white backgrounds. I’m not sure of the evidence behind the dyslexia claim that I have also heard.

Applications of simultaneous equations might be my favourite topic. There are just so many fun problem types! We did these Don Steward beauties in Y10 #MathsToday.

Four problems about the height of two stacks of congruent rectangles.

Four problems about diagrams made up of congruent rectangles drawn on a coordinate grid.

Three problems that can be represented by simultaneous equations: one about the length of two strings of square and circular beads, one about the weight of a bucket containing different amounts of water, and one about the value of a given number of coins.

Questions like this, taken from an international maths competition for Grade 2, are great in helping to encourage pupils to develop strategies such as compare/contrast, rather than adding up the numbers on the balls as suggested. 'If you add up...' might have been better. #iTeachMath #UKMathsChat

Creating custom axes for worksheets or tests is one of my pet peeves... some great suggestions here!

CantabKitty @cantabkitty.bsky.social · Dec 19

does anyone have a suggestion on how to generate nice tidy axes like this, for tests, that isn't my current methods of either screen shot from PDFs of past papers, or faffing with axes on Desmos and then screen shotting that?
