I've done some work on collated my worked examples over the holidays.
Here's the database of those I've created over the past few years. Perhaps you can make use of them in your teaching too?

Can’t agree more! Set myself the challenge to walk 100miles in May and it was wonderful. Made me appreciate the fab local walks and realise I have got the time within the working week to do it.

My school doesn’t break up until tomorrow, nearly there!
For the last couple of days I’ve been fortunate to take part in a mental first aider course with some colleagues at my school.

A fabulous course that I highly recommend.

Calling all Maths teachers!

What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths?

Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks...
... or just ones you really like.

(see some of mine below)

This year I’ve had my tlr time from 11.40am on a Monday and most weeks I’ve gone home to work. I cannot explain how beneficial this has been, such a productive afternoon. Unfortunately my new timetable starting in July has random free periods scattered over the week. Genuinely gutted.

Never answered which was my favourite but love them all! I teach in a semh school and so any activities that build trust and foster good relationships is great.

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
