I think it is so important to have an escape in this job. For me, I love my Tuesday nights taking part in @gozwift.bsky.social racing league. My team won this season and I got the final win in a photo finish 🏆🥵🤢🤮 #cycling

I've spent this morning refining the logic around how you add your timetable to the system. Hopefully it's a lot smoother now 😁

I'll share a few things I've been working on later this week that help refine my day-to-day workflow.

While preparing lessons for tomorrow using the exam builder, I noticed illegal characters in the question set I was using that could have prevented a download. If this happened to you too, apologies! Hopefully fixed now.

I'm rolling out more child friendly success criteria in the Lesson Curator (when using the pair examples) and Cover Notes tools:

🔗 Lesson Curator:
mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/lessonde...

🔗 Cover notes:
mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/coverwor...

Hopefully this makes takes more accessible for weaker groups.

Much nicer with a font-size tweak 😍...

Every tweak, every update… and the homework sheets keep levelling up 😍

Really proud of how these are shaping up. Supported by my tutor program too.

Beautiful graphs 😍📈📊

Should land in a couple of days otherwise you may need to clear your cache to get the updates.

🔰How do you start a lesson?

Make prerequisite skills explicit with the Hive tool in Lesson Curator — so students know what they need, why and also what it leads onto!

Are you doing coordinates soon?!?

Improving the tool based on feedback from the group I last tried it with, my new dot to dot coordinate checks went down a treat with Y7 this week.

A colleague sent me an image of how the starter tool looked on her screen... didn't like what I saw... so just released an update. Shot 2 also highlights the improvements I am making to all of the question generators.

⚡️A-level teachers — quick feedback wanted!
Been building something for a while and need to know if it’s worth continuing. DM for a preview.

Days the site has officially been down: 1

I’m really sorry if today’s outage caused you any disruption. With over 350,000 page hits each day, it serves a lot of people. I’ve upgraded the server and everything should now be back up and running.

Use my scalable universe sim to put us into perspective. Latest update incorporates feedback for improvements. Available in toolbox on common boards or standalone:

🎨Add a splash of colour to your next ratio lesson

Let students experiment with combining colours to deepen understanding of proportion, patterns and outcomes! Get competitive by setting one of the challenges too.

While the website design has improved, I'm ensuring the little things are too. I've replaced the monstrosity that was the old frequency trees with a much nicer design, now rolled out across the site.

I've now improved the notation for the vector (I accidentally copied the styling for the center points) and added shadows of the shape to better show the combined transformations.

You'll find this tool in the toolbox or as a standalone resource here:

Not going to lie, this is one of the slickest tools I've ever made! 🤯

Visualising translations has just become so much easier with this updated simulator/manipulative.

🤔Teaching angles, area, or circle theorems?

Get students more involved in the discovery with the updated Geoboard. Display the board on your interactive screen or share a link so students can use it.

🎲 Simulator/Manipulative Update

I’ve added possible lesson ideas to the manipulatives and shareable links so you can get students using them in class.

In #MathsToday, the shapes manipulative made short work of proving how to work out the area of a parallelogram and a trapezium.

It could also be used for tessellations.

Revising maths is like cooking a chicken 🔥🐔

Rush it and it’s burnt on the outside, raw in the middle.

Take your time and it’s properly cooked all the way through.

Slow, spaced revision wins every time.

Can’t believe we’re already on week 18:
