Back in May I wrote a blog post and shared the “Maths pages” for the student planner that we had put together for the school that myself and Seager are moving to (here is the post) and yesterday we went into the new place and I managed to snaffle a copy of the finished product (to my new gaffer: I … Read more
I don’t know if you know but I’ve been on holiday … missed me? Didn’t think so! I’ve been doing some reading, as most people do when they’re away. Looking at my reading list you can see that I really know how to let my hair down – over the next few days I’ll probably … Read more
… primary school teachers … I’ve been approached by Primary Teacher Update magazine to see if I know any primary school teachers who lead in maths. They are looking for people to write practical articles on the subject … could that be you? .. If so drop me an email mel@justmaths.co.uk and I’ll pass on … Read more
I thought I’d give you an update on the whole frequency tree “thing” that happened when the original Sample Assessment Materials from the exam boards were published. It originally started here when I (“they” made me do it!! .. bloody twitter people!! .. yes you! you know who you are!) took the “Michael” a bit, and … Read more

I like to think that I’m “down with the kids” when it comes to technology. I have never used a paper planner – in fact I hate paper! All I seem to do with it, is move it from my desk to my bag, and then it spends weeks making trips home with me, until … Read more
Maybe this post should have been called “What I’d like to really say” .. I know today is going to be tough so wish me luck … So the last day is here and all across the country most schools will gather their staff together for the obligatory leaving speeches and where I work is no … Read more
You SHOULD be aware that the new GCSE will be first examined in June 2017 so working backwards from that in the traditional sense of a two year course means that teaching would start in September 2015 BUT it isn’t that simple. It never is! You would have thought that this was common knowledge, however … Read more
In our school’s newsletter tomorrow there is a section about leavers and promotions, so as of then, the students will be made aware. To be honest I’ve told my groups already as I wanted to tell them myself and for them not to hear it on the grapevine, so to speak – I felt I … Read more
