I know there are lots out there but I thought I would share. For quite some time I planned on doing short videos of maths concepts in my school policy. They would be useful now, so I plan on trying to do as many as possible.
Really clear interpretation of the government’s strategy on the caronavirus.
1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.
Great when the children can access equivalent fraction word problems through the use of the bar model in year 5.

Following listening to @mrbartonmaths last night in Blackburn, we are going to give this a go as part of our fluency work.
I agree. I always try to break learning down to a concrete or visual method if possible. It usually results in a much deeper and secure understanding.
Yes. Really effective in helping them grasp the concept. Soon moved on to pictorial. Just have to be careful with numbers you pick so they’re not exchanging too many.
Teaching practical shorthand division in Year 5 today. Children all had a go themselves before moving to pictorial.

Can you guess which number EYFS are learning about this week? The children have created a variety of representations to give you a clue! @DSATEYFS @DSATMaths #number #eyfsmaths
