Used this in #MathsToday in an attempt to get all of my Y10 understanding composite functions (a few were struggling after I introduced it yesterday).
One pupil joked "they liked maths again" at the end of the lesson so I'll take that as a win!

#mathstoday y10 did some independent practice on solving 1-step (or single operation) equations.
Y9 started expanding and simplifying double brackets - considering their starting point, they are doing brilliantly. Y7 finished off the measures unit with converting units of mass and capacity

Today and yesterday Year 10 have been doing simultaneous equations starting with practicing adding and subracting 2 equations before moving on to figuring out which they should use to get only 1 term then solve.

Or do the complete opposite and describe a race from its graph:

Both are resources to project for your Maths class.

#mathstoday Year 10 did GCSE Friday (an idea I got from Mathsconf) - practicing GCSE questions based on the content we've done this week.
Year 9 advanced to looking at expanding and simplifying 2 single brackets
Year 7 were looking at converting measurements of length

- Y9 have done much better with expanding single brackets than initially predicted - the algebra tiles were withdrawn in the first lesson
-Y7 have retained multiplying and dividing by 10/100/1000 very well
- Non-Maths: my Business class have performed well on their trial exam

I’m looking for a revision sheet covering all the different types of integration in #Edexcel A Level #FurtherMaths. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? There must be something somewhere!

Introduced functions to Y10 in #MathsToday with this slide…then warned them that the questions they will meet in the GCSE exam rarely (ever?) have any real-life use!

Finding the original - always a fan favourite to get wrong on every test as they haven't read the question.

In #MathsToday my #ALevelMaths students tackled a cyclic integration by parts question before diving into some Parametric Integration. Really impressed by how hard these students are working and how they are just relentlessly attacking difficult problems. Culture is 🔑

#mathstoday Y7 looked at using timelines as part of time calculations, including finding the most efficient method. Y10 were looking at single-operation function machines. The algebra tiles were back with y9 to introduce expanding single brackets, though the tiles were not needed by half way through
