Mel Muldowney I‘m not even sure that “monkeying” is a real word, but Seager calls me the department’s “data monkey” and I am sure most departments will have one … if you haven’t got one … you need too. In some schools the person that handles the data will be the Head of Department, but in ours … Read more
I posted a blog a few weeks ago in which I collated a load of homework ideas from Twitterworld – here’s the post – (thank you to all the amazing tweeters, who made suggestions) one of the ideas from @sarahestocker, that I said I was going to try was getting students to design worksheets for other students … Read more
I called into Seager’s classroom today when he was doing a one -to-one session with some students today (I know I said one-to-one and “students” is plural – we do mainly small groups but its still called 1:1 .. don’t ask!) and I saw the way he uses the ResultsPlus template. Each student had their … Read more
Just wondering if its worth an investment of my time in putting together similar templates that can be used for Edexcels (for Summer 2013) C1, C2, M1, and S1 papers … in view of the fact that there are now no longer any January exams, understanding strengths and weaknesses from the end of year 12 will … Read more
I’ve been trying to get organised for the start of this term – one of the things I’ve always wanted to do is get ready to give my students login details to a number of websites at the outset. Its never happened before, but I’ve got it nailed this year – one of the sites is www.sumdog.com – I can … Read more
For those of you that read this blog regularly, you can stop now as this isn’t aimed at you … it’s meant as a quick *hello* to new readers who have come looking for resources or ideas. I suspect (based on the stats, which have gone mental over the Summer. Did no one tell you, that … Read more
It’s the last night of the Summer holiday and I am holding on to the last few hours with every muscle I have!. Believe it or not, I am actually looking forward to going back to work; not in the way you did when you were a kid: new clothes and shoes laid out, bag prepared … Read more
I know my recent posts have been a bit more “waffly” * is that even a word?* than when I first started this whole blogging palaver … I don’t have a clue how that happened but can assure you (probably!) that normal service will resume when we get back to school next week … my … Read more
This year will be the third year that the school at which we work, will be hosting PGCE students within the maths department. Believe it or not, a few years ago, we had to contact the local university several times in order to be considered … despite the fact that myself and Seager both did … Read more
I know I should let this lie, but I can’t … maybe it’s because I’m tired having been up since 4am having agreed in a moment of insanity, along with loads of other teachers (we’re like that!) to go into school to help prepare for results day as we had ITV Daybreak doing the whole “envelope opening” … Read more
