The OAT Maths NP10 resources introduce Double Number Lines and Ratio Tables rather nicely indeed also, and use them extensively throughout:

This from @alcmaths.bsky.social on Ratio Tables is great for seeing all the different uses of them:

Final session involved looking at lots of data from Edexcel with @justmaths.bsky.social.
Looking at which topics prevent students from moving to the next grade. Similar triangles came up SO much!

Amie Meek @alcmaths.bsky.social · Jun 22

Beautiful surds questions with @mathsjem.bsky.social - really like the fourth, where students need to simplify before they rationalise.

Place value fun with @mrtaylormaths2.bsky.social - looking at how we can show decimal and percentage equivalents.

Great ideas for enrichment activities with @stephenfroggatt.bsky.social - looking at how to quickly find the day of important dates in history.

Amie Meek @alcmaths.bsky.social · Jun 22

Really enjoyed yesterday’s #mathsconf38 - from quickly calculating dates in a different century to the most gorgeous surd questions, I’ve had lots to think about!
Best of all, it was great to see everyone - especially at an Ormiston School 💕.

We all love a sneaky one ❤️❤️

Sam Blatherwick @blatherwicksam.bsky.social · Jun 21

@emmaemma53.bsky.social argues that the rhs here is preferable to the lhs, as it emphasises that to get the equivalent you multiply by 1 (expanding on working with @alcmaths.bsky.social ) #mathsconf38

To introduce logarithmic scales with #CoreMaths, we looked at this graph from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com, and then at his explanation for the scale. I really like this example of a log scale in the wild! #MathsToday

A graph from the Financial Times, titled: “Bus usage outside London has fallen since the market was deregulated, while car ownership and London bus usage have grown”
The y-axis measures change in bus usage and car ownership since 1982 as a percentage, on logarithmic scale.

A tweet from John Burn-Murdoch which reads:

For those wondering about y-axis:
A volume can rise 100%, 200%, 1000%, but can only ever fall 100%
Showing that on linear scale is therefore misleading coz you give more tha 10x as much space to something that grows 10x, as to something that shrinks 10x
Log scale fixes that.

This is an AMAZING opportunity to work in a school that loves talking about maths pedagogy. They are involved in lots of the NCETM’s mastery programmes and have worked hard to implement the OAT curriculum over the last few years.
Don’t miss out!
