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 … Read more
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 had a raggedy old set of match cards that I drew by hand a couple of years ago, and they are one of my favourite “go – to” resources, but looking very shoddy … so I’ve given them a facelift. One of my classes is going to start next term with transformations and my new shiny … 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. Have put heroes that move you up the board and villains on that move you down the board in the usual place that a snake or a ladder would … Read more
I’m hoping that Seager (my HOD) doesn’t read this as I’ve had some new posters done for my classroom (Seager – its not loads!! I promise!!) for an idea that has been developing for a while where I have an area of the room which provides a focus for the students to feedback to me about what … Read more
This is my superhero introduction to simultaneous equations … I don’t mean that I think the resource is heroic, just that its “superhero” themed. This week I’m going to do simultaneous equations and the attached is a nice introduction using picture of superheroes instead of “x’s” and “y’s”. I’ve made it into a Powerpoint (instead of the original notebook that … Read more
If you are teaching probability tree diagrams the attached is a nice little “mission impossible” themed worksheet which is ideal as a mini plenary mid lesson or even as your final plenary. I’m actually going to use it as an “exit card” with one of my groups, which is why there are two sheets (so I can … Read more
A bit of a cliché for pi day is to teach something circle related, so I guess that means I’m a cliché. I’m going to start the lessons with the circumference version (here) of one of my “Follow me” worksheets and then I’m putting together a “whodunnit” worksheet working up to finding the radius and … Read more
