A lovely task from Underground Maths for Highers (Scotland!) linking straight link work and circles, using perpendicular bisectors and circumcenters to find the equations of circles through three points. undergroundmathematics.org/c…
Some lovely takeaways from #mathsjem #na2020maths on teaching quadratics - focusing on solving pure quadratics by inverse operations, gains understanding of rooting and finding two solutions, emphasising zero products, and backwards fading examples to name a few!
The Nat 5 news drained me. Multiple assessments to prepare that parents will insist are ‘too hard’...I couldn’t face work last night, then got up this morning and made a solution sheet for a Don Steward task. Now all’s well with the world.
Anyone know where I can find progressive area mazes on line- they used to be at areamaze.com but the link no longer works 😢
Great ideas from Richard Butterfield #mathsresiliance for monitoring and developing the maths resilience of our students, will definitely be following this up. Today was another brilliant day of maths CPD from #LaSalle #mathsconf24

Scottish Teacher friends 🏴
I made a wee poster to help with discussions around choosing the Maths or Applications courses 📐
3 weeks to go 🥔 🥔 🥔 stay strong 🤓💗

Medians, centroids, perpendicular bisectors, circumcenters, altitudes, orthocenters (or circumcenters of the anti-complementary circle)... all a delight and a fascination, but how is finding equations for these lines used outside of the classroom?
Frustrated at not being able to use @ChrisMcGrane84's Starting Points card sort with my on-line classes I have attempted to convert it into a @Desmos activity: m = Tan ø

Now I can watch my students as they sort...
Excellent presentation from @maths180, particularly keeping in mind the difference between arbitrary and necessary aspects of mathematics to ensure we don’t short change our pupils by denying them opportunities to create their own understanding.
#MathsConf23
Thought provoking session on enhancing performance in Higher Maths by @onycoutts - particularly regarding the importance of insisting on rigour in correct notation and in explanations. #NAMaths1

Don Steward's family were in touch last week, sharing that they appreciate all of the lovely comments about Don from the maths education community.
They also confirmed that Don requested and made arrangements for his blog to remain freely available for all to access.

Any one experienced with #diagnosticquestions out there? I'm having problems assigning tests to classes - it says there's a clash... can you not assign the same test to different classes?

If you’re school is closing due to COVID-19 we’d
like to help. We can offer full access to our
premium content for all of your year 11s. Rts appreciated to help spread the word.
And our job is to create the music for our students, have them see the beauty...

Don’t be put off by the subtitle ... I am not arguing against lesson planning - quite the opposite! - but for the bigger picture beyond individual, isolated lessons...
Stop planning lessons! Enough. Put down the pens and close the laptop. Because there is another way, urges @colinfoster77 buff.ly/2t4HQpA
