In #MathsToday I busted out the 150 question "20 minute multiplication challenge" from the old 10 ticks as a starter.

Does anyone have any experience of using UpLearn at A level Maths? It’s a it a worthwhile purchase? Do you use it for intervention or independent learning?

Used a double number line in #MathsToday to help pupils get to grips with going from one number to another using multiplication.

If you need a bunch of ratio table practice where the scalar is a fraction, this resource might be useful.

Looking for simple to use, customisable axes or graph paper?
I've made a couple of tools for this.
Designed to be printed or pasted into PowerPoints etc.
The snipping tool (win+shift+s) is your friend.

Yeah, people keep trying to do that with "problem solving"
As if you can do that unless you actually have a problem first.

I think the Cartesian coordinate system is very definitely a topic on its own.
After that, "graphs" are usually a representation of some other concept, but sometimes they give rise to whole new ideas, e.g. transformation of functions, which wouldn't be apparent without the graph.

Are graphs a topic in themselves, or just a representation of a concept?
I’m talking about inequalities, quadratics, simultaneous equations etc.
I’ve only had one beer I promise.

I've just added a few more of my favourites to the thread. I'm having a LOT of fun making this.
Specialise, Conjecture and Generalise.
A three-step plan to encourage and develop mathematical thinking.
I'm going to use this thread to share a few of my favourite tasks that lend itself nicely to this idea.
It would be amazing if everyone added their own in the replies.

Now wondering if this set up works for speed with unit conversions…
Q here would be “Calculate the average speed given a journey of 700m in 15 mins.”
Is the first column superfluous? Feels it is in speed, but needed to give the “standard” conversion rates for exchange?

I think this could be a nice task to bring together Area, Perimeter, Pythagoras and Inverse functions.
With the main idea that functions are meant to do something useful with an input!

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!
