...is currently off on a tangent.

@adamboxer1 Thanks for the detailed explanation. Can I ask how much was provided by the school (laptop, pen, stand) and is common across all staff? (I.e. is the use of OneNote common amongst a lot of classrooms at your school and do all classrooms have a similar setup?)

[Rich Green @twotoeduk]

@adamboxer1 Think I would ignore Simon and speak to the whole class. Remind them of expectations/model (e.g we don’t call out, we raise our hands and wait..) then set conditional consequence for everyone (e.g the next person who interrupts by calling out will see me at the end of the lesson)

Wow, currently #9 on the Kindle Store. Thanks to everyone bought it...and thanks to anyone who will...let's get it into the top 5!

@Exploding_Heads Maidenhead thanks

Not sure I will be able to get this to 80 marks in time so here's some more questions you may wish to try this week.

[Rich Green @twotoeduk]

@missradders For KS3, we inform parents by email for set changes during the year but I don’t for changes that start in September. Allows me to make more logistical decisions to shake up groups and students will have a new timetable and new teacher anyway.

@DeeVijayan @ECR_Maths @mrsouthernmaths For stats we also save a bit of time by combining year 1 and year 2 probability (Edexcel). Just starting on year 2 content now. Always feel rushed though - not much slack in the system. But if the students are struggling, we need to give them more time I think

[Rich Green @twotoeduk]

@DeeVijayan @ECR_Maths @mrsouthernmaths We do pure followed by applied. 9 lessons a fortnight on a 4/5 split btwn teachers. We condense some of the earlier pure content (gcse crossover) at start of year, test on it, then put in intervention for those who need the support for those key skills early on.

@missgeog92 Sorry, not a serious response, but makes me laugh https://t.co/gmQzVbs2iG

@DoWise Thank you for posting. I remember reading “examination day” in school, but no one else I’ve spoken to seems to know it - to the point where I thought I’d imagined it. Going to try using these with my form group.

@DeeVijayan @wright_maths @mathsjem @dare_richard @hartmaths @headofmaths @jshmtn @jemmaths I like to show students AQA’s “small things…” along with some of the other suggestions made above. I like that it has examples of actual student answers. https://t.co/rQbrr0TzOV

@JohnRubinstein1 - For “show that” questions, check that your answer actually matches what was given in the question.🤦‍♂️
- If you redo a question, clearly cross out the incorrect work.
- mark schemes are how to mark a question, not answer one. Be careful not to over rely on them when revising

[Rich Green @twotoeduk]

@DrStoneMaths Looks good. Thanks for sharing. How do you usually introduce this task? Eg Teach the whole process then students do the worksheet in one go? Teach very little and students discover patterns through the worksheet? Or do the worksheet in stages with whole class feedback in-between?

[Rich Green @twotoeduk]

@onechriswhite - Using AC button rather than the on button for clearing calculations so they can scroll back (and amend) previous calculations.
- How to do recursive/iterative functions using the ANS button
- How to reset/get back to calculation mode/make sure angle is in degrees, etc..

Rishi Sunk has said that this year's public sector pay awards have been agreed in full but with no new or additional funding to cover them. There is literally no economic sense in this whatsoever. A short thread...
