@MrBorlandPhys I know, I’ve found lots of new small business to follow and purchase from, from farmers markets.

[mm @mmnotused]

Is there anything better than a farmers market on a Sunday morning? Spent a small fortune right enough.

Happy Star Wars day!

After reading @mcalpine_mr’s journey I’ve joined the @AnthonyNolan stem cell donor list. Swabs all done and popped in the post. Glad and proud to now be a part of such a worthwhile cause to potentially save a life. Get joined folks, it’s easy, quick and important #LifesaverReady

Always love being reminded of the sheer amount of talent in this school. Every performer done themselves proud and provided such an entertaining night for such a worthy cause.
Getting hit with whipped cream was all worth it, despite the smell! 🤢

[Bellshill Academy @BellshillA]

Having a fantastic night at Gift of the Gab. So proud of our talented performers. #showcase #talentshow

Marking assessments is made better whilst watching the football.

(6) Include maths challenges (NRICH for example) to try and get pupils focused and exposed to different contextual questions/questions combining various topics for N5 in S4

Our S1/2 are getting an extra period of numeracy per reg group next session and I’m making up a course for it.
Classes will be mixed ability.
Looking for ideas/suggestions/plans that have been successful or could be.
So far my thinking is:
(1) Teach to the middle (Level 2)

1/4

(4) Have a focus on non calculator skills necessary for N5 Apps course and N4/N4 Apps AVU.
(5) Focus on mental mathematical skills and developing fluency, fluidity and speed at “basic” calculations.

@marcmaths Just add 0’s to the end of the number

[Mr Clark PE @MrClarkPE3]

Fantastic day at @GoApeTribe in Aberfoyle! Well done to the S6’s who took to the course, it was not for the faint hearted.

I wondered why (since software like Symbolab exists and has always been accurate when I’ve used it) since it started off correct then incorrectly solved and equation of the form ax+b=c.
Nevertheless, it looks a powerful tool that I wonder if it could be used within a maths class?

[mm @mmnotused]

Played about with ChatGPT today. Some really interesting and powerful stuff.
Tried it with some maths questions from N5 (equation of straight line, changing subject, rationalising denominator) and although it started out questions correctly, there were some mathematical mistakes

One of my most-used teacher moves is that when I notice a student not working on whatever we're doing, I'll just wait until I catch their eye and then just give them a thumbs up with a face that says, "You okay?"

Often times the student nods and gets to it. Other times...

I’ve got a spare whiteboard in class and have some pupils who love a challenge.
So I’m wanting to do a weekly Red, Amber, Green maths challenges with prizes for winners.
Anyone got anywhere I can begging to look to find resource or inspiration? I’m thinking NRICH to begin with.
