Summarising edu-books is a great way to get teachers to engage with evidence-informed T&L. My most recent T&L Newsletter summarises the amazing ‘Make it Stick’ - retrieval, spacing, desirable difficulties, learning myths. Happy to share if useful? Please RT to share with others

First draft of some A-Level circular motion notes and problems.

Any feedback much appreciated!

Answers to follow shortly – I just wanted to put it on here now to stop me adding anymore!

Nice blog here on the importance of vocabulary in mathematics. One of the key findings is that teachers in the same school can use different words for the same concepts and this can lead to confusion. Maths terminology isn't always the issue either!

Excellent summary - using simple effective terms - accessible to all students.

Helping pupils remember or learn can be supported by giving them related cues at the point of learning. Research-informed strategy to use in your classroom ⬇️👀👍

Useful for #CW5. Use the Periodic Table to predict the ratio of atoms in compounds of two elements #edutwitter #science #inquiry

A demonstration of the conservation of angular momentum using a Hoberman sphere. Angular momentum depends on the rotational velocity of an object, and on its rotational inertia. When an object changes its shape, its angular velocity will also change.

My technicians are FAB!! Asked if I could have a video of a demo I usually use to introduce electrolysis of solutions because I'm scheduled out of a lab. This is what I got...😍

Find a project that would suit your class and what is open schooling

Make sure to schedule in the DCU summer school next year 🙋💯

I have just told him I am refereeing his next match so he has to be on his best behaviour lol @thenotoriousmma

Ok, so @amymayforrester just tweeted that there is a ridiculously easy way to convert PDFs into Word and I thought “Nah, mate. That can’t be true!”

It bloody ruddy well is true! It’s pure wizardry!!

[Andrew Watson @AndrewWatsonTTB]

Teachers should be obsessed with understanding and managing working memory load. This post by @adamboxer1 is one of the clearest explanations I’ve seen.

Take 10 quiet minutes and give this a careful read.

You and your students will thank me.
