I just walked past this and noticed three triangles. I’m pretty confident that, if this was done accurately, the three triangles are congruent.
Are you convinced?
How do you see it?

So helpful! Thank you.
I’m a bit distant from it all so never sure whether I’m missing some of the subtleties around these different approaches.

Are they different names for the same thing? I wonder if some schools/MATs blur things a bit?
I’m wondering how different these different structures actually are and whether they’re used for different things?

Hello Secondary maths community,

I know that ‘I do, we do, you do’ is a very common classroom structure and am thinking about other ‘named’ lesson structures that people are regularly using?

Anyone have any others to add to my list

Yes! Exactly that.
A decision has been made to deliberately not draw it to scale and I’m really curious about what informed that decision?!

I agree with @honeypisquared.bsky.social and @darrenmacey.bsky.social that there’s a lot to like in this book, but this image for multiplication of mixed numbers made me itch *so* much!
