Often I show the triangles to derive and then we fill in a table like the image. Relies on strong surds.
Sin & cos: both have every value over 2.
Sin goes root 0, root 1, root 2, root 3, root 4 (all over 2) then simplify.
Cos in reverse.

Lovely evening seeing @standupmaths.bsky.social in Leeds with @miriammason.bsky.social 🤩 great show, nerdy and funny in equal measure!

Teaching a gorgeous higher tier Year 10 group at the moment and today one of the girls came in and showed me the revision notes she’s been making at home between lessons 🤩
What a bloody brilliant job we have!

Got home to a copy of Coaching Walkthrus which was an unexpected surprise as I haven’t ordered it yet 😂
Not sure how it landed on my doorstep - really wanted a copy but currently on a book buying ban 😂 so thank you!

I keep forgetting to take pictures of cool things we do in #mathstoday to share… so I’ve recreated on notes app 😂
Today Y10 were looking at expanding double and triple brackets and absolutely smashed it. So we spent the last 10 mins working “in reverse” as a taster for their next lesson…

Piano Progress 🎹
Pretty proud of this 🤩
And yes, yes… it’s just Grade 1 theory. But 18 months ago I couldn’t read music, and hadn’t ever. Let alone played it.
So I’m gonna be proud. 😊

Warsaw is amaaaaaaazing 🤩

Not a traditional #mathstoday as I’ve finished teaching a few days early to get to my brother’s wedding in Poland 🇵🇱 💒
We’re staying near the University of Warsaw Library and it has these amazing panels with various topics embossed… I may or may not have gasped “oh my gosh, it’s Pi ” from afar 😂🤓

In #mathstoday Year 8 we’re considering how to “average out” objects fairly when given out “unfairly” to begin with using @studymaths.bsky.social Averages and Range tiles on Maths Bot.

We added more and more blocks until it became a bit of a pain to move things around…

Had a great day visiting Astrea Academy Sheffield today. Lovely to see @amercermaths.bsky.social in his new role, get to meet the maths department, & see their scholars in action. Some brilliant work going on to close the gaps with Y10 following their mocks & kicking off with Probability in Y8.

Amazing day at the #AstreaCurriculumDay! Was lovely to get to meet loads more of my new colleagues and to get into the weeds of using booklets for planning and teaching, and consider how we help students to think really hard.
There’s even some professional photos of me in action!!

Exciting delivery today 😍😍😍
Returning to the classroom on Monday, so can’t use it yet, but couldn’t help myself when I knew I’d be back!

And then it was done! 🥹
2 years with some brilliant colleagues at @drfrostmaths.bsky.social 💚

Been a while, but here’s some piano progress 🎹
She’s using the pedal now, don’t you know?
