#mathstoday my SEN year 7 group are on to algebra. So to practice collecting our like terms we are doing expanding brackets as repeated addition! Some moved on to generalising and using multiplication.

In #Mathstoday I had some time to do problem solving with Prime Factorisation with my 7set1. The conversations and the collaboration were excellent.

Forgot my win of the week. We've moved from numicon to number lines. Learning to find remainders in preparation for us to do bus stop division. #Maths #Pictoral

A photo taken by my colleague using the standard form buttons. I must say it is slightly disappointing. #Maths #CasioCalculators #dontfixwhatsnotbroke

Based on MathsConf 37(?) Circle theorems with 3 for students to trace and focus. Thanks @draustinmaths.com for making the practice grids so I can adapt it to this. Hopefully will build my year 10s confidence well.

Had to give this kid props on his unit test. The layout is a DREAM!!

Mocks upcoming and decided that I am going to create a bank of excellent exam technique to display to the class as part of feedback.

Little win of the week. Number lines to help my low-ability 8s to round to the nearest integer. The lad of this book was so proud!

Following on from #mathsconf37, I used cuessinare rods to model why multiplying fractions works. This is a couple of my students recordings of my modelling!

I was using this for forming and solving equations... it eneded up leading to a different conversation #maths #question
