@MathsImpact @OliverMoyles Do you store in the fridge? This seems to work for us and we only make coffee at weekends.

@H_Miss88 #edutooter on mastodon… Myself I teach to the end as I can’t stand chaos! Might involve a computing themed quiz or the pirate game in maths though….

@LeedsTeacher I swap a calculator for a phone, when they return the calculator they get their phone back. Still got my set a year later!

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@edsouthall Yes but why please!

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@miss_mcinerney @TeacherTapp Gave students in revision this week the choice of opening the bourbons, chocolate digestives or cookies and the chocolate digestives won with them too….

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@MrHoadMaths Thanks for the reminder! Had a busy weekend dropping eldest back to uni so could do without a 6am alarm…

@MathsImpact 4x25=100 2x25=50 0.5x25=12.5 then add together

@michael_merrick The hw I set for maths is online as it allows me to target the topics they need to go over, and has support built in @DrFrostMaths It can also be done on a phone. I make myself available at breaks for anyone who needs help with it or IT access. Pupil feedback is very positive!

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@TeacherTapp Well at least I can see the paper that’s jammed! (Unlike ours that likes to claim there is a jam with no evidence at all!) @OwenEngLiteracy

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@miss_mcinerney @TeacherTapp I prefer to “mark” by circulating while pupils are working as that way I can respond there and then and they are more receptive to learn from it. I put teaching but lesson planning is v close.

@RetirementTales “One more step along the world I go” was the go to end of school year hymn in my primary school.

@MctagueDavid @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec From the mapping I’ve done upto y9 it covers everything. And the way WRM uses manipulatives and visual representations seems to fit well with the proficiencies. Needs more tweaking at gcse, particularly if you want to be able to do numeracy in Nov y11, that’s our work in progress

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec With a non calculator and a calculator paper each.

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@miss_mcinerney We don’t have a sixth form anymore. So I picked my favourite out of what was possible… Used to enjoy teaching A level!

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@geomathsblog @MrWiseCHS I’m struggling a little with the sequencing of topics part. We’ve been using White Rose and adapting but it doesn’t really work with plans for numeracy gcse in Nov Y11 that we want to go back to. Would love to see what other Welsh schools are doing.

@Sheena2907 My dad is a grand master at “resting an eye” when sitting down after a meal. Definitely not sleeping 😂

[EJP @quantumdotty]

@Sheena2907 Yep! I’d probably also say that naps can be anywhere (eg sofa 🛋 ) but sleeps are generally in bed 🛌
