Then they enjoyed making their own!

My Year 8s and I loved these Japanese maths puzzles.
Task 1: work out what is going on.
Task 2: do some puzzles 🧩

Evaluating fractional indices of fractions. Really enjoyed working flexibly with the power line!

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

Had a lovely day doing fun maths with some lovely maths teachers in our A Level Pedagogy group run by @catrionateaches !

@Cshearer41 Much more aesthetically pleasing! Flipping the trapezium 😍

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

6 different ways to find the area of this obloidal shape!
More exciting now that the year 8s have more in their toolkit, I love the triangles and trapeziums!

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

Same question, 4 students, 4 different ways!

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

Brilliant mathematical reasoning about operations with directed number from Year 7.

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

My year 8s always love this style of question!
Maybe it’s how excited I get when they suggest something I wasn’t expecting.

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

@smouron I love the numberline! It simplifies so much of the decision making.

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

OneNote is just a lifesaver for live note-taking!
Nothing special here, just some pretty hypothesis tests.

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

@catrionateaches I’ve learnt from the best!! 💚

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

Students found making their own scenarios for the single-lined calculations quite tricky! One student was very true to real life with his supermarket pricing…

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

Finding areas of triangles doesn’t need to be boring…. I loved this task! Just need to never use orange ink again.

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

And a great way to show index laws

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

When @catrionateaches shared @blatherwick_sam ‘s power table, I had to give it a try with my year 8s. They absolutely loved it!! We played around for far too long…

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

It was brilliant for showing fractional powers!

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

@catrionateaches Just a ‘look back in your book since the beginning of the topic’.
We did spend some time rewording the questions so they sounded nicer though, we didn’t quite like “what does it go up by?”.
Also rewording the ‘1222’ question so it was different to the other Q 😁

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

How many different questions can you make from this sequence? Year 8 came up with quite a few!

[Jaime Scantlebury-Smead @jaime_maths]

Multiplying with decimals practice with year 7. One student audibly gasped when they noticed the significance of the decimal part.
