Let’s just say that today was an awful day and not one I want to repeat. I’m not going into detail but I’ve come home and feel immensely proud of our students and am proud to be part of such a professional and compassionate teaching staff. Lets just leave it at that. Anyway, observation was cancelled and … Read more
I tweeted a photo of a lego worksheet I made and some bugger avid reader pointed out a grammatical error. I can’t believe its taken over 15 months for anyone to notice that I’d written “bought” instead of “brought” .. I’ve been waiting for someone to notice (ahem!) all this time. Anyway I’ve updated the w/sheet … Read more
I’ve been teaching vectors with year 11 this week and whilst I have a snakes and ladders game that I use to get them started, any worksheets I’ve found usually comprise of exam style questions and they’re pretty boring looking. Don’t get me wrong I know they need to practice, (practice, practice!!) but sometimes its … Read more
There is no such thing .. We had year 11 parents evening Thursday and for this, I’d prepared a letter for each student, showing how many marks away from the next grade boundary they were 12 months ago and how many they were in their most recent assessment, and what they could be doing to prepare … Read more
I know my recent posts have been a bit more “waffly” * is that even a word?* than when I first started this whole blogging palaver … I don’t have a clue how that happened but can assure you (probably!) that normal service will resume when we get back to school next week … my … Read more
Been thinking about teaching averages from grouped data tables this week and one of the issues with certain groups, is that the students stumble over finding the midpoints of each group and then get themselves in a tizz about getting the wrong answer. They then go onto to get frustrated about the actual new learning and we … Read more
As part of my “mastery” (not sure if that’s the right word!) series of lessons with my year 10’s – I’ve put this worksheet together for my students that didn’t get Q5 on the Edexcel March 2013 non calculator paper correct, but will be equally useful for anyone that is teaching sequences. Only another 18 questions left on … Read more
Further to my post yesterday I’ve put this worksheet together for my students that didn’t get Q9 on the Edexcel March 2013 non calculator paper correct, but will be equally useful for anyone that is teaching indices – it includes a “must. should and could” style exercise before the students attempt the exam questions on the reverse. I’m … Read more
Been a bit busy today .. attached is a connect 4 – along with the solution – that I’ve done weeks ago – its the first in a series of worksheets for solving equations that I’m doing for my year 9’s. This one I’m adapting for one of the worksheets for my test review lessons (see below blogs) … so … Read more
Further to my post yesterday I’ve put the attached worksheet together for my students that didn’t get Q2 on the Edexcel March 2013 non calculator paper (which we used as an internal test) correct, but will be equally useful for anyone that is teaching scatter graphs. I’m going to use it as part of my “mastery” lessons … Read more
