@alcmaths I went straight home and put numberblocks on with my 2 yr old! We subitised on two hands!

Mini whiteboards (MWB) are an absolute essential for all classrooms. Here’s why:

- All-student responses
- Immediate corrective feedback
- Gradual release tasks as a whole class
- Check for understanding & formative assessment
- Student self-editing
- Engagement norms

*Daily Tip*
Try and build a culture in the classroom where rewards are focussed on effort. This can be a challenge, but by rewarding how much effort something takes allows you to be more consistent and will support pupils attitudes to their work. #YouGotThis

Considering plotting quadratics using a table of values (at both F/H) and how often it comes up as calc Vs non calc.

Does anybody have any stats or knowledge?

@hkettlemaths ooooh thats where it has come from....a colleague just asked me what method I would use.
How many methods are there?

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@mrallanmaths Lovely! Did they draw the algebra tiles too?

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@LearningMaths Or atleast a multiple of 3.14 with inflation. £9.42 has a nice ring to it 🥧

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

Absolutely love running over #cannockchase on mornings like this. I don’t think I even thought about work once 👌 #Teachersrunclub

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@NCETM thankyou for the day out in Birmingham on the mastery specialist course! It is so good to be sitting down with like minded people outside of the everyday school context! Lots of food for thought on representation and variation and how the intertwine with one another 👌

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@amspEMidlands @mathsjem @draustinmaths @alcmaths Perfect, thankyou! Using numberlines for rounding and bounds was an adaptation that I used last year….perfect for a more conceptual understanding! 👌 i love the use with fractions and fractions of amounts too

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

Help….I recently remember seeing a great resource for intervals and number lines but for some reason didnt ‘like’ or bookmark it so now cannot find it. I need to do integers leading to decimals. I wonder if anybody can help out by retweeting? @mathsjem @draustinmaths @alcmaths

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@taylorda01 @draustinmaths @mathsjem @alcmaths I love the simplicity of it on the face, but then the variation will really make students think and pay attention👌

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@taylorda01 @draustinmaths @mathsjem @alcmaths Boom! That is the one. Thankyou so much, sorry I forgot to press like 🙈

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@cshakespeare123 @draustinmaths Oh yes! I will be using 👌 thanks again @draustinmaths

Do you know what’s also damaging to children?
Ridiculous amounts of supply
Masses of teachers leaving
Lack of funding for SEND & special schools
Overstretched mental health services
Unqualified staff teaching GCSE
Huge Ofsted pressure
Cost of living
But yep those 6 strike days 🙄

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@hkettlemaths is it going to be week 7 on this weeks live? (19th oct)

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@Arithmaticks @MrTaylorMaths2 @brynspiration Just that simple sentence at the bottom provokes enough discussion to clearly get the point across.
Better than my boring question of ‘what is the problem with using the mean here’

[Mr C @chawnerwarner]

@usmannasir93 @Mamamatician @Dempseymaths @pbrucemaths @ravenmaths @mathsmumof2 Such a wealth of MWB questions and then example and your turns.
👌
