Had a common misconception come up while on the mini whiteboards and so I went "Oh I love this mistake"
The kids lost it, que me talking about how good it is to make mistakes in maths. (So we can obviously fix them!)

Year 8 started with expressions so had the virtual algebra tiles out. It's a LPA group and only about 5 could remember seeing the algebra tiles before!

Key skill with year 10 today
Multiplying and Dividing by decimals. Need more practice tomorrow as I know it's something my last year 10 group just kept forgetting.

Year 11 did Trig Area of a triangle. I just want to say Question 2 from Dr Austin is so lovely. Got them to properly think about what they were doing.

Year 11 did a mixed Sine and Cosine rule exercise. Felt pretty confident after the whiteboard activity that they were going to find spotting it much easier than I originally thought.
Made my mixed problem rounding task with questions from Interwoven maths and Dr Austin. Took a while.

Been doing rounding with my Year 9 and would really love to know if anyone has a bank of worded problems that require them to require them to round the answer at the end. I want to try and do some interweaving and interleaving, but don't want to spend hours finding questions.

(Well Monday and Tuesday)
Year 8s are doing area, so been all the practice for rectangles, triangles and compound shapes.
Year 11 have been doing the Sine Rule and Cosine rule.
I am not one to remember the formula so glad this year 11 get them in the formula booklet.

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.

Year 11 moved onto Trigonometry again, so to start we need to recap last year's work so used this very nice mixed exercise from Dr Austin.

spent last week thrashing out expanding brackets with a grid/area model last week with grade 1-3 yr 10s, felt like I was going nowhere fast and encountering lots of difficulties.
This morning did reverse process to factorise with same model. Insane success rate.

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.

Had my interactive whiteboard stop working for half the lesson. The second half wasn't interactive but at least they could see questions. Thank god for textbooks
Half a lesson of indices practice textbook then half on fractional powers on the board.

I was really happy with my year 11 lesson today. We did tangents to a curve, before they got the question we scaffolded each part (finding gradients, perpendicular gradients, substitution to find the line) then when they actually saw it for the first time they could easily do it!

One of my year 11s had a problem with his DT coursework which he wanted help with and it was such a great problem I had to solve it...
It took a while but also deep joy in doing it.

What is people's favourite way to get students remembering their trig values needed for non calculator.
When I was at school it was just memorise them (didn't work) now I sketch triangles to find them but I've also seen the hand method?

School Internet wasn't working very well so not as much done as would have been liked (at least next week is off for us)
Some of my year 10s got to challenge themselves with these lovely Corbett questions.

Starting Surds after the holidays (only taught it once)
Anyone got a nice way to start it as my group last year still had some issues after being taught and I know there's a better way.

Had the realisation mid year 11 lesson that they could not draw linear graphs (which they needed to know for the upcoming task) so tried to print out axis to practice (printer wouldn't work) so went to drawing them by hand!
