Go Figure: Prezi
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2009/09/prezi.html
Thursday, 3 September 2009. UPDATE: Prezi have changed the way you can embed a slide show.* *. There is an awesome, (and free), alternative to Powerpoint available called Prezi. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with Christmas. Using Prezi, one can create a dynamic slide show which moves about a canvas, zooms in and out, or even spins around. It is quite simple and intuitive to use, and is very effective - and best of all, different! And a comprehensive manual. Posted by Sam Downe. Tales from a Newl...

Go Figure: January 2010
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 January 2010. Is a great resource from Triptico. Which I've used a few times in Maths. I want to start building a library of resources for it, so I've created a Google Word Doc. To store my activities for later use, and to share with the department. Anyone can edit this, so please feel free to add your own. (I do have a backup! I like the way it doesn't show right or wrong, but gives a total number correct. This has prompted some vigorous debate about which "branch" needs to be moved. I smile...

Go Figure: Maths Jokes
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010/08/maths-jokes.html
Saturday, 7 August 2010. One thing I really enjoy is having a laugh in my classroom - but I try to make my jokes mathematically based. I've enjoyed following #mathjokes. On Twitter, and have contributed a couple of my own, but I thought it would be nice to record them here too. I'm not claiming complete originality, but I did think these up on my own. Enjoy, and use with care. What do you call a man trapped in a Toblerone? What did the Italian say when the witch removed her six-sided curse? Medical Educa...

Go Figure: February 2010
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 February 2010. Mondrian Art and Maths. On thing I have been very interested in recently is linking Maths to other subjects. I have organised a trip to Bletchley Park. With the History department, and liased with a number of other subjects on how they are using Maths in their classes. However, the one that I have enjoyed the most is two recent projects with the Art department. This then led to a discussion about Mondrian's. Posted by Sam Downe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Still Missing the Point.

Go Figure: Hash Tag: Maths Movies and PGCEtips
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010/08/hash-tag-maths-movies-and-pgcetips.html
Saturday, 21 August 2010. Hash Tag: Maths Movies and PGCEtips. I wouldn't admit to being an extensive Tweeter, but I do follow lots of inspirational and resourceful teachers, educators and those associated with my chosen career. However, if I wanted a reminder of how powerful Twitter can be, it came this week from two contrasting experiments. So I started #mathsmovies on Twitter with the gem:. And then nothing happened. For about a week. 2 x 10 4 Leagues Under The Sea. I know what Euclid last summer.

Go Figure: August 2009
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 August 2009. Is a very cool site which enables you to upload pictures, and then animate them, or add effects. It's a little bit jumbled, but there are lots of options! I just love the reflecting water one:. Or the rotating picture cube one:. Ok, it doesn't have much use in Maths, but could liven up a presentation, or by using real life examples. It's great fun though! Posted by Sam Downe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Free Technology for Teachers. Still Missing the Point.

Go Figure: The Unanswerable Question... Ooops
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010/01/unanswerable-question-ooops.html
Saturday, 16 January 2010. The Unanswerable Question. Ooops. School exams have just taken place - delayed due to a bout of illness at the end of last term. In my year 5 exam, as a filler for those who finished early, I set the question:. Using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 in order. And the signs and -, can you make 10? It is only when you combine two digits into one value that it is possible to make 10. One possible solution is:. But why would you ask us a question that had no answer? One tha...
