Seager has been raving about this kind of thing for weeks – so I’ve given in and put the attached (worksheet and Solution) together. Any similarity to persons living or dead, is purely coincidental! I needed names, and wasn’t feeling very imaginative!. It seems like a nice little starter to get students thinking and if … Read more
I have an idea … what would it be like to have a SOW that includes all the best bits from all the best schemes of work that other people have developed over the years but is fit for using with the new Key Stage 4 content? Once the full assessment criteria and exam specifications … Read more
It’s the eve of another half term, and wow what a couple of months it has been. We’ve seen the demise of early entry for lots of schools, and then this week, we’ve had a small announcement with the new subject content at Key Stage 4. With all the hullaballoo surrounding this, it means that I am really … Read more

If someone said to me 12 months ago, that I would be on Twitter, … Read more
I’ve put together a “must, should, could” style worksheet for fractions, starting with “Sorted it” in relation to multiplying and dividing fractions, then “Nailed it” moves on to addition and subtraction and finally “Mastered it” includes all 4 operations but with mixed numbers. These type of worksheets are ideal for allowing students to either get loads of … Read more
You may have, like me, received the following email with a load of blurb about Mathspeak 2013 … all you really need to know is that one of the speakers is Seager!!! The inaugural Mathspeak 2013 conference being held this November at the IndigO2 arena. This conference offers the ideal opportunity after the November GCSE examinations … Read more
We’re having a focus on assessment for learning at the minute, which means we been relooking at what we do in terms of policies and practice (snore, snore, snore!). As a result I’ve been looking at ways to try to make the marking of students work both manageable and meaningful for the students … its a … Read more
