Used the wonderful MathsPad tangent drawing tool tool today with Y11. They loved coming up to the board to try and position the perfect tangent! Seeing this immediate, very visible, feedback before they all started drawing independently was so useful. #MathsToday

Two triangles with the same area.
Which has the greater perimeter?
How do you know?
No calculators.

I was rubbing this off the board as Y7 came in for the next lesson, and two of them asked why I was teaching discrimination in maths. (I told them they’d have to do A Level to find out!)

I used this yesterday with Y7. The number line helped them get their heads around the idea that there is one more "jump" than blanks to fill.

In #MathsToday with Y10 we did this set of questions.
I let them choose their preferred method for each question. My model solutions were a ratio table with 100% in the top-left for consistency.

Just over a week until publication of my new book on the joys and power of curiosity - the perfect gift for someone interested in maths or politics or archaeology or physics or art or poetry - also ideal for anyone not yet interested in those things who should be.

Right: Exterior Angle Theorem (Euclid 1–32). Requires corresponding and alternate angles. 1 step. Faster?
Right feels cleaner to me ... I wonder what pupils would think?
