Question:
What does “variation” look like in subjects that AREN’T maths?
Are there some subjects where the theory doesn’t really apply?

Reached a point where I am starting to have “inside jokes” with some of my Year 11 classes now and it’s making my lessons with them so much more enjoyable - I love the part where you finally feel like you’re getting to know them and feeling like a team 🤩

Teaching a gorgeous higher tier Year 10 group at the moment and today one of the girls came in and showed me the revision notes she’s been making at home between lessons 🤩
What a bloody brilliant job we have!

In #MathsToday I did this as a starter on estimation.
With the aim of getting pupils to consider which counters are the 'significant' ones.

Used @nathanday.bsky.social ’s sum-product(-difference-quotient) tables in an intervention session with Y10 in #MathsToday to support their factorisation of quadratics with negatives. Was really helpful to isolate the step of considering all the sign combos! 🤩

I keep forgetting to take pictures of cool things we do in #mathstoday to share… so I’ve recreated on notes app 😂
Today Y10 were looking at expanding double and triple brackets and absolutely smashed it. So we spent the last 10 mins working “in reverse” as a taster for their next lesson…

Taught my first lesson of the year in #MathsToday! (Actually a cover lesson for a colleague at a family wedding!)
Year 11, recapping algebra skills. Substitution. Generally happy until answers were things like 3/2 - suddenly felt they “couldn’t do it”, so we did lots more to convince them it’s OK!👌

Considering a session at #MathsConf39 but I feel like I need to leave Ratio Tables for a while! 😂😬
What do people want to hear about? Where are the gaps in discourse? Is there something I’ve said before that you want to know more about? Or something I HAVEN’T talked about much but you want me to? 🤔

So it took a while, but here is the write up of my MathsConf38 session - Breaking Up with Formulae: Ratio Tables are “The One”! Turns out starting a new job the same week as presenting, then a busy summer weren't ideal for getting this done before now! 😬🫣
Breaking Up with Formulae: Ratio Tables are “The One”
A write up of my MathsConf38 session on the use of ratio tables to support the development the conceptual understanding of algebraic drect and inverse proportion relationships. A little late, after starting a new job the same week and a busy summer... but finally written!
