It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week 🎉🎉 and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

Been getting into some A-Level lesson planning for September and got this fantastic AI summary from Google to a question I wanted to check on

Thank you for the clarification, very helpful stuff

Took a small group who attend Maths Club weekly to the Science Museum today. Had booked "Power Up" not looking at what it was. Turns out it was a gaming room with 160 retro to modern consoles to play. Was in heaven!
Great experience for the kids in the mix of visiting galleries

Incredible, considering it took 2 mins from a simple prompt.

I can see potential in creating revision resources with this.

I'm planning to ask students to work through this before attending a lunchtime revision session (these are students I don't personally teach).

Harry Zafar @harryzafar.bsky.social · Jun 2

Following GCSE Stats exam today, some students asked for revision on the regression line.

Playing around with AI, asked it to create an interactive lesson - got this, which I think is incredible. Works better on a desktop. Interactive.

Been updating mathboardwalk.com
Few new topic worksheets, will be useful for the new school year, potentially for some last-minute revision too. Planning to upload more

Also planning on uploading an in-between paper once Paper 1 has been sat next week

Hope they find them useful!

Harry Zafar @harryzafar.bsky.social · May 31

Some of the stuff it can generate is incredible, though! Been having fun trying different prompts

Harry Zafar @harryzafar.bsky.social · May 31

Asked Google to generate a video of a typical Maths lesson, and it gave this fantastic video - the teacher starts explaining, then abruptly walks away. Made me laugh🤣 (has audio)

A brief foray back into this place to offer a few GCSE Statistics resources.
There'll be another revision paper before the end of the week, and a between papers paper for this year in early June.
