In #MathsToday we explored what makes shapes similar.

I may have revealed my age by referencing JT when he was in N-Sync 🙈

Using these images was a fun way to move past the usual “they’re the same” and really define similarity!

In #MathsToday we explored how we spend time ⏰

Nothing grabs attention like realising you’ll spend 25 years asleep, 5 years eating, 1 year on the toilet and 8 years on your phone in a 75-year life!

Real stats, impact, mindset shift. 💭

Love this! I’ll update my question for next time. I wanted the overall question to stay open-ended so students had to decide what to do without too much guidance — but this wording is spot on. 👍

Is it not pi r^2 > 36 solved?

Matt Woodfine @matttheapp.bsky.social · 5d

Working on my exam writing 🖋️

How would you reword this question so that students need to answer with an inequality?

Would you be blunt with: Solve the inequality for all possible values of r.

Absolutely loving this project! 🙌

My Y11s smashed last week’s flipped learning tasks 💪

This weekend, I’ll be sharing how Maths Copilot will link up with Maths White Board tools to close learning gaps and boost student progress.

When students get stuck, smart support kicks in — multiple choice options appear after several wrong tries (not predictive). They guide thinking, not guessing… but beware 👀 — the wrong answers are smart ones.

Bring out the inner detective! 🕵️‍♂️

Students will crack retrieval questions and use the clues to complete a mystery grid. Great for adding key vocab in a lesson.

My Y11s are smashing the Power Hour revision programme (mathscopilot.com/copilot/powe...)! 🏆 But, I needed a way to track their progress and regularly feed forward from the tasks… so I’ve now added a tracking tool.

Also, a sneak peek of a QLA tool feature I will be utilising soon…
