@mrallanmaths I teach maths and the best differentiation strategy that’s worked for me is using Peter Lijedahls idea of getting students work on vertical whiteboards.
In a Maryland school district, high school students are now required to complete a course in financial literacy. They're greatly benefiting from it—and so are their families.
Great teachers use questioning for two key purposes:
1) To promote thinking; and
2) To assess thinking.

One for the weekend!
This graph shows the apparent correlation between a country's level of #chocolate consumption and its total number of @NobelPrize laureates per capita.
We'll let you decide if it's just a coincidence 😉

Beautiful insights into the importance of conceptual learning and the type of learning it provides for students. Always powerful to ask learners (of any age) to represent their understanding of their learning. Giving opportunities for creativity and materiality. #creativity
Loved doing this Don Steward task with Y7 this morning. As well as lots of fractions practice, it was another opportunity to talk about how to go about a mathematical investigation.
Was reminded recently of an idea @mrbartonmaths shared at #mathsconf30 so I used the first image with my Y7 today. I explained what they had to do then wandered around an listened. They found the first two easy but "interesting" was just an equivalent ratio with really large
Inspired by a video I saw last fall I made an activity using @desmosclassroom and @MathigonOrg Polypad. It uses prime factor circles to do a discovery lesson. I can’t remember whose video inspired this. https://t.co/6MsxbLbkxW #iteachmath
Used the last professional day of this academic year to focus on assessment in MYP Mathematics for @OISLearningHub@oismumbai . Together, we deep dived into some key aspects of authentic assessments and developed some practical strategies for using command terms and TSC! #mypmath
Thanks to OISJVLR faculty for contributing, challenging,and extending our thinking by sharing assessment articles for discussions,questions,and affirmations as we begin the journey of reviewing the assessmentpolicy.@jimips@Shruts210@KrshmaMehra@DimpleR49965975@peducharme
Chocolate and Geometry Collide in October's Math in the Media
October's Math in the Media digests cover research on what shape a chocolate bar should be for maximum enjoyment, an interactive math paper that generates exciting unsolved problems, and more.

Task completion is a poor proxy for learning; this is something I wished I'd known in my early years of teaching. Here is a one-pager I have created for @PepsMccrea, summarising his notion of Backwards Planning.
Two and a half days of learning come to an end! ATL & meta cognitive skills by @TAOLearn, heart of MYP & growth mindset by @MalNicolson. An amazing showcase of cutting edge EdTech by @Abdulchohan@edTechEvans@dewang_pandya. And some fabulous in-house student showcase!#COL2022
