Here's one of my go-to websites during remote learning - a one stop shop for a range of maths manipulatives. So helpful via screenshare during video sessions with students! Easy to use. Pass it on! #iteachmath #elemmathchat toytheater.com/category/teac…

New Divisibility Rules Puzzle
This was a lot of fun to design and put together! It has given my brain something to work on while my students are taking semester tests.

Loops Puzzle - one of my favorite new puzzle finds of this school year!
Can you arrange the pieces to form a 3x3 square with one closed loop? How about two loops? Or three loops?
Another great puzzle from IREM de Lyon!

ALT Loops Puzzle.
An unexpectedly exciting day at school! Students spotted that the chrysalis was changing - then it all happened as soon as they left for their next class 🐛

I like the idea of generating different questions from the same diagram.

Excited to continue learning on Day 2 of the #BuildMathMinds24 virtual summit. Esp grateful for the replay option due to time difference! Yesterday my mind was on strategies vs models. Today I'm looking forward to thinking more deeply about mathematical identities & routines 🤓

Over 5000 teachers downloaded the 2023 Puzzle, so I knew I had to make a 2024 version. This 2024 Puzzle is available in two different levels. Arrange the strips (horizontally and/or vertically) in the grid to form the digits in 2024.

New podcast episode is out! My guest is researcher, Daniel Ansari. We talk about dyscalculia, whether gender plays a role in math performance, math symbols, manipulatives, neuromyths and more!
Thanks for sharing your expertise on my podcast @numcog!

A fantastic podcast! The brilliant Jane, from our Adult Advisory Board, talks about designing content for people with #dyscalculia or low numeracy. So many fabulous tips! Well worth a listen!

I've just discovered these 'structured variation' grids from @JohnMOxford and I reckon they're genius.
Countless opportunities for students to have "penny drop" moments as the teacher asks the right questions and reveals relationships.
I envisage either a whole new website from @mrbartonmaths or an interactive @StudyMaths, dedicated to these grids, before Christmas. @MrMattock has probably written a book about them that I've missed. @mathsjem - one for your blog?

Y2s are learning about different traditions and holidays around the world. I enjoyed taking a moment to admire their Thanksgiving tree! ☺️🐝

We hope this poem about #mathsanxiety, by the very talented Sarah, helps people who have maths anxiety feel heard and helps others to understand just how debilitating maths anxiety can be...
