#Mathstoday
Both of my year 9 classes did loads of substitution work today. Got the exercise from the foundation sumbooks 2002. They are available online as a pdf. Loads of questions if the students just need loads of practice.

In #MathsToday (and yesterday) Y7 just have a baseline test, so I've given them a nice, silly starter
A starter screen asking students to estimate the number of televisions on Earth, giving reasons for their answer.

In #mathstoday, we started conic sections in FP1 with some model-making!

Last Friday I posted about how we have encorporated difference of two squares before factorising. We follow the @lasalleed.bsky.social scheme of work.

Year 11 looked at Magic squares today. Which leads onto factorising quadratics. Next lesson will be just factorising quadratics.
(For some reason rotating won't work)

#MathsToday I had to talk to students (again) about why trusting AI to do their homework is not a good idea. 2nd time I have caught it out in a week.
#Maths teachers using online hwk platforms, what do you do about this?

#MathsToday was the first ratio lesson of the year with my bottom set 10s.

Used models for all the classic question types, lots of nice progress (well, by P5/6 double standards anyway 😂)

Right, this week begins a series on what is a very contentious issue. I do not profess to have the ultimate answer, but here I begin to discuss the language of Order of Operations. Please feel free to discuss here or there!

In #MathsToday (ish - probably last week actually) some activities with Surds.
Answers and better quality versions on the website links.

kshancock.co.uk/lessonresour...

kshancock.co.uk/lessonresour...
Maths worksheet titled 'Multiplying surds'. Students are instructed to pair surds from a 3x4 grid (including values like √7, 2√3, √48, etc.) to match answers in boxes below (e.g., 14, 6√7, 20√7, 144, 60√2, 21√10). A crossed-out calculator icon indicates calculators are not allowed. Maths worksheet titled 'Fully factorise'. It includes an example: √2y − √50x = √2(y − 5x), followed by four expressions to factorise: √3x + √75, √98 + 4√2x, √48 + √12x, and √32y² + √18xy."

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! 🤩
