Lovely impromptu moment in #MathsToday (yesterday), Head of upper school who is also a science teacher walked into my rearranging formulas lesson and said "oh I can do that! Here, try this one I've been using today" Great for pupils to see how different subjects link together. #iteachmaths

covered yr 7 in #mathstoday and got the pyramids out again, this time to teach simplifying expressions, was great fun

#mathstoday Really enjoying this hashtag, so thought I'd join in. Year 7 lower band class doing lattice multiplication - picked it up really quickly and expressed a preference for it over column.
Year 9 nurture class doing percentage increase/decrease with multipliers.

In #MathsToday we rolled a lot of dice and found estimates of probability mass functions for sums of n=2,3 4 dice.
In #MathsNextWeek we start to explore broken stick problems!

Hello #MathsToday, would someone know a good place to find quite challenging questions for Year 11s, and which are as remote as possible from a GCSE style question (but workable with what a year 11 should know in theory)?

My borderline yr 11 stomped algebraic fractions today. Told me it was easy. Even with binomial numerators and denominators. And my bottom 9s told me factorising quadratics was easy. #MathsToday #WeeklyWins

Anyone from #MathsToday got some #WeeklyWins to share?
Right, off the back of yesterday, decided to bring something back from early Edusky, #WeeklyWins
Share your wins, however big or small, that got you through the week.
Mine:
● Entry 3 student getting 90% in a mock
● Y10s really stepping up
● Exciting trip updates
Happy Friday, all!

In #MathsToday, we saw some amazing and diverse approaches to this problem:
Using the optimal strategy in "Guess my number from 1 to 100" (where we get feedback "higher" or "lower"), what is the average number of guesses it will take as more games are played?

In #mathstoday I’ve been desperately trying to find some short videos I remember on the maths needed in various careers, aimed at KS3/4 (rather than A Level which I can find on AMSP
@meimaths.bsky.social ) I’m sure one featured Grove Lodge Vets in Brighton. Any ideas anyone pls? Or similar?

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.

#mathstoday I'm teaching a retired chemistry teacher, and we are into functions as elements of a vector space. It's been help to think in terms of dimensional analysis. Ie if u, v and w are functions,
w = u + v has the "dimension" function, whereas w(x) = u(x) + v(x) had the "dimension" number.
w = u + v has the "dimension" function, whereas w(x) = u(x) + v(x) had the "dimension" number.

Are we doing students a disservice by showing them how they can do "reverse chain rule" questions using the method of substitution? Or, at least, showing them too early?

Just started 2nd order ODEs, decided to start with coupled 1st order.
Rationale:
1. Modelling. Start with y'=ky modelling a single population, bring in a second with interaction.
2. Exponential. Solution to single pop is exp, so reasonable to try for double.
