Not a manipulative but thought I’d share a favourite activity of mine. Get students to draw the given equations. These are the fold lines for the best paper aeroplane. Fun way to end a lesson to try them out.

Teaching circumference of a circle to Y9 in #MathsToday and enjoyed a bit of “always, sometimes, never”. Loved the discussion that this created and the thinking of is it/is not examples

There are more than 2000 exam qus currently on the system. I have QA'd more than 1400 of the questions (hence the "Developing" sign). I use this tool to create all of the "best guess papers" I produce. It also has the benefit of creating digital IWB papers (e.g. mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/examboar...)

Me: “Complete the square for x² + 2x – 6”
Students: ???
Me: drags a few algebra tiles... “so now how do we complete the square?”
Students: Just pure lightbulb moments. 💡

This is what understanding looks like 👀

2 tools that quietly ended my Sunday planning nightmare:

1️⃣ Lesson Curator → click, drag, done. Perfect lessons in minutes.
2️⃣ Teacher Planner → all my schemes, seating plans & trackers in one calm place.

No more chaos. Just teaching.

I used to talk about 80-hour weeks.

Now I brag about weekends with my family.

No Sunday guilt or late night planning.

Same results. Happier human. That’s what the right tools do.

Just you... amplified. 🔋

Using media in a lesson can help to change the focus and provide meaningful summaries. But how do you know students are taking any of it in?

With QuizTube, you can take a video and turn it into a mini whiteboard opportunity.

In between Y11 mocks next week, I want something fun to ease exam stress without losing focus. “Top That Maths” is my card game - students deal, answer all questions, pick a skill, and the highest number wins!

Y7 did me proud today.🌺

Used my tables races with Y8 bottom set in #MathsToday before moving onto nth term rules. We got that tables were represented as "a"n, then a girl popped her hand up and said 4, 7, 10, 13,... is the 3 x table but shifted by 1. From there on in, "the shift" was born!

Get the target!

Based on the popular game where students use the given numbers and any operation to get a target...but with more challenge!
