Teaching ideas with a skew towards Maths…. Some Thoughts On…Problem Solving. February 12, 2015. Yesterday I tweeted after spending a double lesson with 10A working on problem solving; its generated quite a bit of interest and I’ve been thinking about problem solving in the context of the new curriculum quite a lot recently. Photo credit: Dave Gale. A) I’m a geek and wanted to have a go at the problems myself (the class are very independent and self motivated and are well trained in effective group ...

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.

Joining up the maths. September 4, 2013. Hear the party poppers and experience the joy! I’m imagining that the night before coming back to school wasn’t as raucous as 31st December can be but I also imagine there were a few unsettled bellies. 1 I will stay organised. 2 I will make the most of every work day. 3 I will post here once a week. I’ve had this blog thing for a while but I’ve had no discipline with keeping it up-to-date – posting at least one idea or thought or reflection every...And I’m l...

Mr Collins' Reflective Journal (GTP in Mathematics). As part of my GTP year I have created a reflective journal to write down any and all thoughts I have!

The key parts of the challenge is that you must use ALL 4 fours and follow the order of operations. When I got to school today I went to my mentor's classroom and some of the numbers had been wo...

Teaching ideas with a skew towards Maths…. A Maths Game: In The Bin. June 9, 2015. A dice (preferably 0-9). This was introduced to me as a place value game for low ability.

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...
