Teaching my Year 9 standard form slightly differently this time due to @jwrightmaths.bsky.social MathsConf session. Halfway through teaching positive Indies SF.
Seeing how it goes, standard form is not my favourite topic.

Today marks the release of the Francis curriculum review, and the government's response.
In this @twinklresources blog, www.twinkl.co.uk/blog/curricu..., I analyse the likely impact of the review on #SecondaryMaths teachers and departments.

Started Surds off with the year 10 with a challenge to write each number as a product of a square number and an integer. Led on nicely to introduce how to simplify Surds.

I've had in the past students finding it difficult to decide if an expression would factorise into a single or double bracket. So I created a mix of 20 questions to try and build that skill of deciding which one to use. Unsurprisingly a lot of them struggled. Better now than an exam!

In #MathsToday I had a collapsed group of mixed ability 7s due to a trip, so we played expressions bingo. Each box had an expressions, rolled one (or 2) dice and those were x values. Used Excel to generate using the correct answers. Fun time all round
