What started off as being just the Top 40 has developed further and many of you will know that an online version was developed … well!! it hasn’t stopped there and the site has developed a life of its own and morphed into JustMaths online (www.justmaths.co.uk/online ); the Top 40 is still very much at the hub … Read more
The Guardian Teacher Network site is one of my “go-to” sites for education news and I love their Secret Teacher blog – it’s one of the first things I check out on a Saturday morning so love the fact that some of my fractions worksheets have been included in this article … its true though … Read more
I’ve had a weekend off, visiting York and also got to meet up with some tweeters in real life (** waves to @Missradders, @El_Timbre, @MrsDenyer and 2 mini-geeks in training**) and driving home it got me thinking about how this was even possible.

As a result I’ve been looking at ways to try to make the marking of students work both manageable and meaningful for the students … its a … Read more
In our day jobs, we’ll be hosting another maths collaborative network meeting next month for schools within about 20 miles of us … it would have been quite easy to accept that with the growing academisation across the county and the demise of LA support at subject level, one of the casualties was going to … Read more
is a bit like marmite … you either love it or hate it. Especially at secondary schools, when the students already have a firm idea on where they stand on the subject and the usual response is “I ‘ate fractions!!” It’s a topic that I usually can’t get too excited about, but it’s one in … Read more
