I know I posted this morning, but this is my usual mid-week “bullet-point” blog. Last week I updated a match card activity for transformations (which is ace I might add!) and today I’ve ended up designing 4 collective memory posters for transformations, which can also be used for homework, exit cards or plenary activities … whatever ...

I am loving the idea of these connect 4 worksheets … and the fact that they are self-checking too is fab!!. I’ve put the attached (BIDMAS – Connect 4 – Wsheet) together for my year 9 sets next week as a refresher activity and to get them thinking about maths after their break too. Its ... Read more

I’ve been busy planning some lessons this morning while I’m waiting for it to warm up a bit before an afternoon of digging on my allotment (Yes! I have an allotment, get over it!!) and I’m exploring how to make boring old worksheets a bit more exciting, that also incorporates some higher order thinking and ... Read more

One of our year groups is very boy-heavy and for some reason this is particularly evident with one of my classes that only has about 7 girls. Please don’t get me wrong – I don’t usually “pigeon-hole” students but it’s like pulling teeth getting some of them to show their working out. I know its ... Read more

I’ve been working on exam questions by topics and this developed into producing them with written answers on too … the ones for two way tables are here (Exam Qs and with solutions) .

I have had a couple of requests today (how weird is that? 2 in the same day) from visitors to some intervention training we did at school, asking me about the posters I have up in my room … specifically a display of posters I was raving about on the day from @El_Timbre on Twitter. These are ... Read more

I thought I’d mix it up a bit this week, and instead of a midweek “bullet point blog” I’m going to be a bit rash and do a weekend “bullet-point” blog, I know! that’s just how I roll! … Living life on the edge, pushing the envelope … blah, blah, blah … Actually its just that there is ... Read more

Found this today and it made me chuckle … corny joke alert …. its one of our “follow me” worksheets and it will ultimately read “Why are powers like fish?” … and you will need the punchline … wait for it … because they are both “in de seas” (get it?) UPDATED TO CORRECT A MISSING ... Read more

Usual “bullet point” blog : – Love, love, love teaching vectors!!! – Using the attached (here) “superheroes and villains” themed snakes and ladders game this week.
