A worksheet where you answer questions and match the answers to letters to find out the hidden joke.

I love all the resources from @draustinmaths, they are always well thought out.

If you need more of these, you can create this type of activity with randomly generated questions on many topics on my site. Choose 'Codebreaker' as Activity Type.

A Maths question and solution for finding the equation of a line through two points.

In my IB key skills generator you get full solutions. Randomly generated questions which can be turned into a worksheet or projected.

In #MathsToday I used AI to create a set of 10 multiple choice questions on finding the equation of a line from 2 points which I could project. It worked within the AI, and we could select the answers and get immediate feedback.

Useful as a Maths activity, but also to show kids how to ise AI well.

Frequency Analysis: Breaking the Code All simple substitution ciphers are susceptible to frequency analysis, which uses the fact that some letters are more common than others to break a code.

Of particular interest might be the frequency analysis tool that can be used to break and simple substitution cipher.

Crypto Corner Crypto Corner is a website that provides detailed information on how to use a large variety of codes and ciphers. It also has a selection of flash activities to use the various codes.

National Cipher Challenge starts today. Students might want to learn about different ciphers, and I have a free website for that

It is great. I have done it on and off with students for 10+ years. You can either set them off and they will sort it themselves (older students) or do a weekly activity to support them. KS3 will need a bit of support, but might catch the bug and do it every year.

With the Cipher Challenge coming up soon from @cipher-challenge.bsky.social your students might be interested in learning about codes and ciphers. I have a website dedicated to this, which details how they work and has applets to encrypt and decrypt.

Yes, working again thankfully

Do we know anything about this? @mathsjem.bsky.social

Year 13 learned about the reverse chain rule, integrating with partial fractions and using trig identities in integrals yesterday. Including the need to always look for f'(x)/f(x). #MathsToday

In #MathsToday year 12 worked on logs. Always like to get them to estimate log 34 as they are surprised by the result.

And year 10 did an investigation on the perimeter of regular polygons in a line.

You can't see my projector if the lights are on!

In #MathsToday we had 2 cakes in year 13. I always make the deal with the class that if anyone forgets the +c they have to bring cake next lesson (+cake!!!)

In #MathsToday year 13 started integration, and year 12 did a prior knowledge test before starting the HL course!

Year 10 did an investigation into the greatest perimeter possible when regular polygons are placed adjacent.

#Maths teachers! As you head back to school this week, don't forget that on my generators site you can project randomly generated questions, or create different activities, for free. #MathsToday

I agree, but hardly a 'new' method, surely.

Also, no sure how it extends to non-monic quadratics (havent had enough time to sit down and think it through yet).

A Mathematician Found an Easier Way to Solve Quadratic Equations Here’s the secret.

Not sure what to think about this...

Various cave painting in red on a cave wall.

A set of dark dinosaur footprints in solid rock.

Amazing to see real life history in Spain this weekend. Yesterday we saw Dinosaur Footprints 🦕 and today cave paintings. Can clearly see a family of 2 adults and 4 children.

I’m looking for a standardised or diagnostic assessment tool that can be used to determine specific strength and weakness of our students, with the view to improving and intervention in maths. For years 7-11. It’s an international school.

🧵 Next year my team have requested CPD on using tech in lessons. eg Geogebra/ Desmos/ AI.

QUESTION 1. Can you help me by pointing me in the direction of good resources that will help me plan sessions for them on these? I’m not a technophobe but it’s not something I do enough either.

A new one I learned this year, in Google Chrome you can create tab groups. So I have a tab group for each class open, which I can minimise when not teaching them. Means I can keep relevant tabs open, but hidden away so it doesn't get overcrowded.

Right click on a tab and there are loads of options

It is amazing how many people don't know that CTRL+C and CTRL+V are copy and paste. And CTRL+X is cut. Or CTRL+Z is undo.

I have one I made years ago available here on using the equation editor and some of the shortcuts.

I have updated most to JavaScript now. There are about 4 that I have not managed to get around to yet. Maybe in the next year...

My first ever coding project was on ciphers. This turned into Crypto Corner. The site hasn't had much love from me in recent years due to other projects, but still hopefully useful.
