Turned the notes into a nice revision guide for students ready for their end of term test. Will keep adding to it as we go through the year. #maths #mathscpdchat #mathschat

@Headteacherchat Waste of time. By all means, share the objective and what is the success criteria but no need to make a formal note about it.

@noelsmith24 @pennywpennyw Had a nine also. Got the channel 4 one wrong. 🤦‍♂️

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

Advice sought. Version one (Covid made) or version two (Blue and refreshed)? Same content but layout changed slightly. #maths #mathscpdchat #mathschat #edutwitter

@pennywpennyw Outdid myself this week.

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

This is, in my opinion, one of the most important skills in elementary math

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

@howie_hua 10% is 25
5% is 12.5
2.5% is 6.25

7.5% therefore is 18.75

Excellent guide on explicit teaching from the NSW Department for Education: https://t.co/gx1MXA497j

@howie_hua 10 x 10 x 9 =900

Direct Instruction gets a bad rap, but here’s the truth:
-Backed by decades of research
-Most effective for foundational skills
-Especially helps struggling learners
Discovery, PBL, Inquiry? Great with guidance
But unguided = confusion.

Balance matters.

Using this crib sheet next year.
This Teaching Toolkit is a total gem!
✔️ Spark curiosity
✔️ Get kids exploring + explaining
✔️ Stretch their thinking
✔️ Wrap up with reflection
…and don’t forget those wider values + inclusion bits too! 🙌

@MrBishop_Maths @StudyMaths Or as another approach. Had 4 yellow counters and 7 red counters. Used zero pairs to cancel out leaving with 3 negative (red counters)

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

➕➖Zero pairs is the ultimate for directed numbers.
Using counters helps students see how positives & negatives cancel out — not just memorize rules
💡Physical learning = deeper understanding💡
Try it on @StudyMaths manipulatives!

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

@MrBishop_Maths @StudyMaths Right. No, for that sort of question I would have taken 4 away to get to zero and then used zero pairs and taken three more positive counters to leave 3 red (signalling -3 as the answer).

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

@MrBishop_Maths @StudyMaths Give some example questions and I’ll show you how I do it. This is how I modelled it

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

@MrBMaths3 @StudyMaths Yes it is. Each teacher has a pack of counters for use to demonstrate and allow students to work with.
