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
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. CONTENT MOVING FROM HIGHER TO FOUNDATION: Use standard form Calculate exactly with multiples … Read more
Figured it out yet? Its obvious … “Reverse Percentages” … okay I’ll grab my coat! I’ve put together a nice little “wordsearch style” worksheet where the answers are found in the grid: There is one red herring in the first section of questions, just to mix it up a little and the answers to the “nailed” it sections … Read more

A conversation on Thursday got me thinking, about what assessments we’d move to with our new year 9 from September. It’s not my decision, but as with all these things I have a viewpoint (you wouldn’t expect anything less would you!). Let me explain what we do now with regards testing: We do an initial … Read more
A couple of weeks ago “we” got an email asking if “we” could step in and do a slot at next weeks maths collaborative meeting (think the old HOD meetings, but much, much, much better!), and “we” agreed that “we’d” do something about the new GCSE, and our plans as a school to start teaching our … Read more
I’ve just spent a very satisfying two hours digging at my lottie – now don’t get me started as I can be an “allotment bore”. I’d forgotten how nice it was to get out in the fresh air, but despite that, I felt guilty not doing any work (obviously not that guilty, or I’d be working and not blogging!). I’m not … Read more
