Christmas Decorations A short activity to help students use Desmos to create a Christmas picture.

Last year I created this Desmos activity to help students learn some basics to design their own Christmas pictures. Feel free to use with your classes as term ends.

CTRL+SHIFT+T is a lifesaver too.

Reopens the last closed tab in your browser.

I had to move the desk around when I moved into my current room to make it possible. I would prefer a standing desk though.

I use a graphics pad every lesson. I have a document of 8 blank pages saved to my desktop. Open it up in edge, write on it like a whiteboard, then save a copy at the end of the lesson and upload for students.

I am always amazed some people don't know CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

I have a guide on the equation editor for Microsoft here drive.google.com/file/d/1UvC9...

Also a UKMT random question generator here (not great on mobile devices!) www.interactive-maths.com/ukmt-random-...

I don't think it is any easier or more difficult than the graph. But I also don't think it is devoid of meaning. As with most things in Maths, both methods can be taught with no understanding.

It is based on the definition of sin as the y coordinate and cos as the x coordinate of any point on the unit circle. The positive/negative comes from that.

I just started this topic this morning, any chance you can share the file?

A marketing advert for an online course for IB AAHL Maths offering free access for a limited time whilst the course is still under construction.

I would appreciate you sharing this with anybody you might know who is studying #IB and doing the #AAHL course.

Ah, is this resource yours? It is what inspired my post the other day!

A bell curve with the area greater than 40.8 shaded with the area marked as 0.1044, and then 8 related questions with blanks to fill in.

After #MathsToday I created a new fill in the blanks generator on Normal Distribution.

www.interactive-maths.com/normal-distr...

You can choose what is revealed / hidden for any randomly generated distribution by clicking. Easy to screenshot into a presentation, or use live.

There is an option to choose monic, one brackets not monic or both not monic 🙂

Screenshot of an applet with the quadratic equation hidden, one factorised bracket revealed to be (x+1) and one solution revealed to be x=7.

In #mathstoday I came up with a new tool on solving quadratic equations using factorising.

www.interactive-maths.com/solving-quad...

You can choose what you reveal or hide giving lots of flexibility.

I was trying to indicate that the word bisector is telling us we need the midpoint. But yes, I am aware that this doesn't help with colour blindness. Obviously in class I also explain and use gestures too.

I normally move to that post 16, but I find that they understand y=mx+c better for the link to the graph when younger.

Solution to a question on finding the equation of the perpendicular bisector of points (4,-3) and (-2,7). Use of colour to highlight how parts connect to the question words.

I really do think that colour is helpful to identify steps in multi stage problems. But there is also scope to use it to link parts of a solution to the words in the question.

Great time seeing Matilda The Musical in London with my nearly 8 year old tonight. Love having a daddy son date night now he is getting older. #matilda

A worksheet with 10 questions on differentiating Polynomials, split down the middle with identical questions on each side ready to cut to give to 2 students.

Create a Question Strip, great for starters. Same set of questions on each side.

This one is on Differentiation of Polynomials.

Took 30 seconds as I regenerated the questions to get them to increase in difficulty.

Create Odd One Out activities using any of the 70 different topics available (or a mixture of them)

This one is on equations of straight lines.

Screenshot of a worksheet on finding the equation of straight lines.

Worksheet created in 10 seconds on straight line graphs. Nothing fancy, just a few questions. Great for a starter or retrieval activity.

You can also make a Codebreaker, odd one out, loop cards.

All free, no sign up.

Screenshot of worksheet on finding the gradient of line segments.

I have added a new topic to my generators: Gradient.

Find gradients from lines, draw gradients, gradients from two points, missing coordinate given gradient.

Turned into worksheets, treasure hunt, matching cards.

A screenshot showing a tool where a topic is chosen and the past paper questions including this topic are displayed.

A tool that analyses the topics in all past paper questions, and displays how many times each topic has appeared in past papers.

A new tool to help with IBDP AAHL studying:
1. select a question and be told which topics it includes;
2. select a topic and see which questions include it;
3. see frequency analysis of all topics across all past papers.

This should help both teachers and students in revision. #ibmaths #aahl

A set of questions on reverse percentages, split into two identical columns to be cut to give to students.

The Question Strip activity type is really useful for quick starters. Choose a topic and create questions, then choose the number of columns. Save on printing and easy to stick in books.

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.
