Lampton Maths

Today's activity is a classic problem. There are lots of variations, but here it is as "Bridge Crossing".

Can you find the shortest time required?

Did you know...on the sample space race you can change the track length and perform multiple rolls at once.

Horse 7 ALWAYS wins...if you make the track long enough.

Since I've been getting a bit carried away with binomial probabilities recently, I've tried to make another set of representation cards.

Which of these representations would you use in lessons?
Why/how/in what order?
Which ones do you hate?

💕 Maths lesson planning made easy! 💕

🔹Are you a HOD who gets bogged down by planning cover lessons?
🔹Are you a teacher who spends a long time planning your lessons?
🔹Do you struggle to find resources for teaching specific skills?
🔹Do you find it challenging to guide students through an effective learning journey?

Check out the Lesson Curator and the brand new Maths Copilot Wizard!

With Lesson Curator you can build a lesson in your own style, but with the Maths Copilot Wizard, I will design a lesson for you using the blocks of activities that I have developed over the last few years.

Each time you use the Maths Copilot Wizard, you get a different range of activities.

Here are two examples:

Lesson 1: https://t.co/pXFgNlqCtv

Lesson 2: https://t.co/6a1wfxXQyB

All lessons are added to your term planner so you can use them again in the future!

Today was an all-day A Level Pedagogy Work Group meeting. We spent some time writing questions for Y12 that cross more than one topic. I loved this session today - it’s great to have a whole day talking about A Level teaching with enthusiastic people!

I've made a padlet for our students who are preparing for university admissions tests (MAT, TMUA, STEP, PAT, ESAT, AEA) with links to websites and resources. Feel free to share.
Please do alert me to any errors/updates, and any other resources I can add!

People are telling me that AI CAN generate math diagrams / illustrations from text. Here are four use cases & how impressed I'd be if you could do it.

Seeing other people teach is the best part of my job.

Isn't this such a brilliant question, and the way it was delivered using paired turn and talk to explore the misconception in each of the "incorrect" models was wonderful.

So much mathematical thinking was going on!

[Andy Cox @Andy_Cox_]

I've made a (basic) warm up mat for AQA L2 FM if anyone would like to use it. 11qs including hidden quads, binomial expansion, sum eqns in 3 unknowns, eqn of line from point and gradient.
DM and I'll send through.

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

Tree diagrams with Y10. I've been making them draw out what's in the bag/box/biscuit tin at each stage, which has hugely increased their success rate.
Unexpectedly, the part they find hardest seems to be properly identitying the two events (ie the headings).
