Thought I’d play around with how I teach simplifying surds this week to my Year 10s as I am tired of learners not loving the topic! Linking it to prime factor trees, but square factor trees and it has worked so well - I am late to this party! Da iawn Blwydden Deg 🤩👏🏼

@StudyMaths That would be amazing! I always find my borderline learners lose marks on the ‘from the list above select a… cube number’

We have had some fantastic entries from our Y7 and Y8s for the @Nat_Numeracy Number Heroes Competition! They have really thought about which careers they would like in the future and how numbers will play a role in these jobs. Da Iawn👏🏼 #numeracy #careers

Started Additional Maths today with my top set Year 11, and what better topic to start with other than Completing the Square! 😍 look at these notes! 👏🏼💫🤍

[Miss White ✨ @_MissWhiteMaths]

Relief! GCSE Maths complete for my lovely Year 11s. I cannot believe I have been lucky enough to have this class from Year 7, have seen them through both GCSE’s and now get to embark on the Additional Maths qualification with them (once we’ve recovered!) Proud teacher! 👩🏼‍🏫💫

[Miss White ✨ @_MissWhiteMaths]

Lovely Sixth Form Open Evening for our current Year 11 students! To prepare, we asked our Year 12 and 13 Maths students to answer two important questions, why Maths & why CHS! 🤩🫶🏼 @crickmaths @crickhowellhs

This is an essential piece of equipment and we need each child to have their own in September. You may also find these calculators in Asda/Tesco or elsewhere online.
