On International Women's Day, let's remember the contribution of women to Mathematics. Here are some Scottish female mathematicians from the past.

Hopefully we will be celebrating our own young mathematicians in the future!

Applying negative number knowledge to subtraction in S1. Excellent work!

Putting some of the ideas Mr Gray shared with our department into practice @mrgraymath @AttainRen @StAndrewsLandT

[St Andrew’s Academy Maths Department @St_AndrewsMaths]

Some impressive calculations from S2!

@St_Andrews_Acad

[Miss McArdle @McArdleNumeracy]

Learner generated examples led to some lovely mathematical thinking in S2. After a day with addition/subtraction, pupils asked, "Can we multiply?" They quickly accepted that 3 x 2/5 is like saying 3x2 fifths=6 fifths. I added more fractions to let them try some division!

Maths Virtual Supported Study

Team codes to join have been published in the S4 / S5 / S6 Team.

[St Andrew’s Academy Maths Department @St_AndrewsMaths]

Brilliant numeracy work from some of our S1 pupils this afternoon, showing off their impressive subtraction and multiplication strategies!

[St Andrew’s Academy Maths Department @St_AndrewsMaths]

Great work S2!

@mrgraymath @AttainRen @St_Andrews_Acad

[Miss McArdle @McArdleNumeracy]

Equivalent Fractions with my S2 class.

This worked out as a lovely low entry, high ceiling task for a mixed ability class. I wanted to represent fractions in a new way so that pupils who already had an understanding of equivalence were learning a different representation.

[Renfrewshire Attainment Team @AttainRen]

Attendance at our Virtual Higher Maths Supported study continues to be strong. The good news is there's plenty of room for more so why not join us next Thursday 19th Nov 6pm for Recurrence Relations? The exercise is linked and contains the Team code. https://t.co/eu8d2bWo5V

Thank you @mrgraymath for an interesting CLPL today for @St_AndrewsMaths on mixed ability learning and teaching
