Effective questioning is key to deepen students mathematical understanding. A simple yet powerful idea: https://t.co/WZQL85sGHN @McGuirea499 #mathschat #mathsmastery #maths #Algebra #mathsresource

@SFL2326 @ajm_PE - Like this idea! Could work well with a T&L research group...

[Emma @williams_maths]

@MrHelsbyMaths Agree with the comments above. All the algebraic manipulation is crucial, I think trigonometry is also a really important one that doesn’t seem to have been mentioned yet which is also needed for some of the mechanics! #mathscpdchat

@MrHelsbyMaths Retrieval practice of core skills is key this time of year before students attempt problem solving questions ... so I always do extended retrieval practice starters a few times a week... I’ll repeat the same starter every other week but.... 1/2

@MrHelsbyMaths 2/2 but make slight changes to the questions. Very simple but effective retrieval practice. Students actually look forward to it as they like to see the improvements.. usually starting with not being able to do lots but after a few weeks they see their own progress

@MrBakerMaths @mathsteacher09 @DrFrostMaths is my go to, but also @crashMATHS_CM @mathsgenie @UndergroundMath @Miss_Jethwa and https://t.co/KkLFjie1tQ have links to other resources too

@rach_fb I have a Halloween treasure hunt which students enjoy every year. Due to current times, I’ll be using it as a ‘follow me’ activity this year instead. Happy to share - DM me your email address if you’d like me to send it over. #halloween #maths #mathschat #edutwitter

A simple but effective starter - Subtle differences .... forcing the students to think very carefully about the different methods needed depending on the operation. #maths #Math #mathschat #teachmaths #edutwitter #teachertwitter #edchat #education

@mathsjem @MrReddyMaths I used to always teach the (n-2) triangles method but changed to exterior angles a few years ago! Haven’t come across any flaws with it yet, or seen any problems with students where they can’t solve it using exterior angles. Look forward to hearing how you get on!

Retrieval practice in the form of “formula Friday” Encouraging a mental effort from students to recall the key formulae needed for the @PearsonEdexcel #GCSE #maths @MathsGCSEHelp #revisemaths using as a quick to get going verbal starter atm whilst moving all around the school

2/2 ... and a few other ideas. These take less than a minute to write on the board or verbally explain to students. Saves you waiting for a Ppt/computer to load up a starter. Any other ideas people have been using? #edutwitter #teachinginapandemic #maths #MathsTalk #teaching

[Emma @williams_maths]

1/2 Quick to get going starters are so important at the moment whilst teachers are moving all around the school - Ensuring students are on task straight away, buying the teacher time to get set up & prepared for the lesson. Here are some I’ve been using #edutwitter #MathsTalk

@MrWilliamsMaths I’m sure the deadline for your video has passed now, but just in case any others come across this post check out the video our department produced for some ideas: https://t.co/huicaBgVzY #openevening #mathschat #openevemaths #maths

@mathsmrgordon 2/2 We have a wall display with a road map of all the extra curricular events we offer the students throughout the year. DM if you’d like me to photograph the display and send it across to you. #mathsdisplay #ExtraCurricular #mathschat
