Teaching ideas with a skew towards Maths…. Some Thoughts On…Problem Solving. February 12, 2015.

Teaching ideas with a skew towards Maths…. Are you in the learning zone? October 5, 2014. A tweet from @mathequalslove. During the week caught my eye; in it she shared this poster:. I liked the premise so the next day I floated the concept with my Y10 top set via a hastily drawn copy on the board. They really embraced the concept whilst tackling some tricky NRich problems. 8220;OK, Miss I definitely need a hint I’m in the panic zone.”. And my favourite at the end of the lesson. Middot; October 5, 2014.

Aim is to make the biggest/ smallest/ closest to a predetermined value. 8211; written methods. 8211; four rules with fractions. 8211; powers/ rules of indices.

App Review: PhotoMath | ideasfortheclassroom
https://ideasfortheclassroom.wordpress.com/2015/05/07/app-review-photomath
Teaching ideas with a skew towards Maths…. May 7, 2015. My top set Year 10 told me about this app in passing, I was curious so I hastily downloaded it. This blog post is titled review but I am completely on the fence as to whether this is technology at its best or an absolute pain in every Maths teacher’s backside. Basically this is an app that does Maths for you. You simply hover your camera over a question (which must be printed not handwritten) and hey presto; answer, almost instantaneously. Maths-wis...
