I’ve been meaning to update this as I know lots of you finish next Friday for Easter – when I came to review last years quiz I decided I actually quite liked it, so have only tweaked it slightly (and I mean ever so slightly … basically changed 1 question!) as it really is quite ... Read more

Is it just me that takes it personally when there is an incident when a class is covered by someone else? I’ve recently had to arrange for planned cover of one of my lessons as I had a meeting to go to; cover work was duly considered and planned – I chose a topic we’d ... Read more

I seem to swing from always blogging about resources, or always about the wider world of maths or always about teaching ideas … I need to get a balance! I suppose the same could be said about my work-life thing-a-me-jig! In the absence of not posting my usual mid week blog post on Wednesday (I ... Read more

So here’s the meaty bit. I know this has been distributed before but there were some rumours flying around that surds was moving to foundation … it isn’t!! and so I’ve decided to collate and maintain a definitive list as we get more information.

A few things have happened recently that I want to shout about, but as I’m such a shy retiring person (!!!) I thought I’d fly it in under the radar and do it whilst most of you are throwing out some “zzzz’s”. (1) A while ago I asked Tom Riley @riley_ed if he’d like to review JustMaths Online ... Read more

This post has been in the offing for a while – I am just finalising it and then rushing off to yet another flamin’ meeting! Roll on the weekend when I have time to catch up on everything – a teacher’s lot is one of constantly putting the big jobs off until the weekends until you have big chunks ... Read more

This is another one of those post’s where I am not claiming credit for this but loved it so much I adapted it for my own use and thought I’d share it further – I’ve just offered the idea out to other teachers at school and it has been taken up by over 1/2 the teaching staff (and I’ve kept reprographics busy ...

Actually I’m not bothered if you are a man or a woman! Oh how wrong that sounds! But it’s better than my original idea for the post which I’ll reveal below … the only requisite is that you are a maths teacher. Most of you will know that I tweet past paper questions and answers ... Read more
