Does anyone teach #coremaths OCR B? First year teaching this and finding it challenging, could really use some advice from someone who has taught it before.

Yesterday I spoke about patterns in Don Steward's answers at #mathsconf39. Coincidentally I was revising with my Y7 daughter this morning (she has a test tomorrow) & gave her two of Don's algebra pyramids. She was delighted to get the same answer twice so I checked the rest... :)

Looked at Factorials with Year 10 in #MathsToday
Started off looking at odds and evens based on the Maths Challenge question in the bottom right.
I always love using Maths Challenge questions as a starting point for planning - this one was particularly fun 🧵1/4

Love these questions the year 10s did for factorising quadratics. Gave students a lot of the scaffolding they needed allowing them to move onto similar ones without the scaffolding after.
