Relentlessly aiming to make the most of this short life. Love the outdoors, being on my bike as well as drawing and painting.

Love a maths joke! ☺️

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

1, 3, 5, 7, and 9: We can't really feel anything right now.

Doctor: Okay, just make sure you don't get multiplied by 2.

1, 3, 5, 7, and 9: Why?

Doctor: Because you'll be even number.

@howie_hua x 3 then divide by 10

[Fay Perdicchia 🇺🇦 @FayC3]

@howie_hua (8 x 100) - 40

I'm going to use this quote! @HeatherElliot5 @Lharrison245 @EmmaLarkham

[Fay Perdicchia 🇺🇦 @FayC3]

Love it!

A quick visual to help us find the answer to 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ...

[Fay Perdicchia 🇺🇦 @FayC3]

Yes!

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

You don't always need to "borrow" or regroup when subtracting mixed numbers. You can add or subtract the same number from both numbers so you're subtracting a whole number to make it easier.

Love this idea! @Lharrison245 @EmmaLarkham @HeatherElliot5

Teaching tip. Here's what I do for the first 5 minutes of a testing period

[Fay Perdicchia 🇺🇦 @FayC3]

Such a clear representation.

[Matt Ellis @MrMJEllis]

Converting mixed number fractions into improper fractions.

Another area of fractions which children can struggle to grasp a solid understanding.

Here is a video of how we show children how to manipulate the tiles and pegs when converting.

Resources for all ❤️

@howie_hua 40 + 60 then -1.

[Fay Perdicchia 🇺🇦 @FayC3]

Absolutely love Numicon. This is so clear!

[Matt Ellis @MrMJEllis]

Things you miss about UKS2 teaching

Multiplying fractions by integers can be a tricky concept to understand but this really helped children understand the structure to these types of questions.

I am firm believer that resources are for all children 🧮

Food for thought! @Lharrison245 @HeatherElliot5 @EmmaLarkham

@englishspecial The review report on Shanghai maths points to a different teacher climate and culture. We are keen to import their practices but no so much what lies behind it.
Perhaps a similar professional culture in England would have an effect on rates of teacher retention.
