Would love something on helping teachers address common problems (e.g. students calling out, a lesson going wrong because the start wasn't clear enough etc) - I always liked your scenario-based blogs!
Nice! This is what I did, although it took me ages to see it! Didn't see the fact that the hexagons shared a vertex for long time!
One of the most effective ways to drive effective inclusion is to make our teaching ‘accessible by default’.
Let's dig into what that means:

Made a couple more mixed homeworks for year 12 & 13.
Feedback from kids really positive - they find including some similar problems really useful this term.

Made this resource to review circle theorems with year 11 group - the "hinted" combination section worked really well.

Introduced Euler's number in L6 FM #MathsToday, by defining an area function under y=1/x and showing that it behaves just like a logarithm...
I imagine that's harder to fit in with the platform! Looks like very impressive stuff, though (just watched a demo video)
Hi Adam! The main things I like about Sparx at lower school is the built-in retrieval schedule and the fact that it is mostly self marking. I don't really know much about Carousel - how well does it deal with procedural knowledge-type questions?
A Level maths teachers out there: anyone found a good platform to set homework that properly supports retrieval practice? Would love to be able to use Sparx for A Level but clearly can't yet. Would love any thoughts #ITeachMaths #ALevelMaths (anyone use @carousel-learning.bsky.social for maths?)
1) The 1st term in a sequence is 4 and the 8th term is 46 What is the nth term? 2) The 3rd term in a sequence is 23 and the 5th term is 46 What is the nth term? 3) The nth term is 2n + 6 Is 107 a term in the sequence? Give a reason for your answer. 4) The nth term is 3n - 4. Is 132 a term in the sequence? Give a reason for your answer 5) The 1st term in a sequence is 18 and the 9th term is 106 Is 73 a term in the sequence? Give a reason for your answer 6) The 4th term in a sequence is 31 and the 10th term is 85 Is 98 a term in the sequence? Give a reason for your answer. 7) The nth term is 11n - 6 What is the position of the term 225 in the sequence? 8) The nth term is 21n - 41 What is the position of the term 1933 in the sequence? 9) The 10th term of a sequence is 155 The 100th term is 1685 And the 1000th term is 16985 Could the sequence be linear? Give a reason for your answer. 10) i) What is the nth term of the sequence of numbers made from the overlap of 3n + 2 and 5n + 4? ii) Investigate for other pairs of sequences.
Y8 sequences in #MathsToday. This sequence of questions was great!
Think that's a really good idea, thanks!
Updated to this:
In #MathsToday my year 8's were showing off their coordinate geometry skills. I love activities like this where pupils can see all the different things they can do with limited information. Might have to extend this for my GCSE class and include distances and perpendicular lines.
The biggest short-term teaching problem is ATTENTION. Students who aren't paying attention can't learn.
The biggest long-term problem is MEMORY. You can smash out the best lesson ever, but if you don't have a long term memory strategy you're wasting your breath.
Almost impossible to choose - so many nice things! I've been using this one this week donsteward.blogspot.com/2018/05/equa...
Anyone want to join in with a Sunday evening Don Steward appreciation thread? I know there must be countless amazing tasks on donsteward.blogspot.com that I’ve never even looked at.
