I am intrigued, are there some slides from this conference I could take a look at so I could explore this more?

Does there need to be new learning in the last couple of days? I think doing some revision is a good use of time at this point in the term.

Tell me your favourite #Alevelmaths Christmas activities, really in need of some easy lesson prep for the final week 😴

How is there still one more week to go?! 😵‍💫

I always tell them that giving reasons or descriptions are the easiest marks on the paper as you get extra marks without doing any calculations.

Normally that goes well, but this lot were giving up after trying (0,0) and maybe one other point 🙈

In #mathstoday I taught transformations to my higher gcse resitters-I always use mathspad for rotations and MWB for the others. What method do you use to find centre of rotation? I’ve always done trial and error but they give up easily yet I’m not sure they would remember perpendicular bisectors.

When ‘low’ level disruption is explained to non-teachers, it is often dismissed as: kids talk too much haha.

The reality is that it is common for a teacher to be interrupted several times, deliberately, by multiple students to the point that a simple explanation is impossible.

I have been using mathswhiteboards PDF viewer today:

mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/pdfviewer

Really easy to annotate and save pdf with access to all the MWB features. I’m finding this so much easier than writing on our smart boards.

When I have set a class questions to complete independently, I spend around 10%-20% of the time at the start standing at the front of the classroom. Seemingly doing nothing.

I mentioned this to a colleague who asked "but shouldn't you be circulating?"

No. 🧵

Useful stuff!

The shortcuts for equation editor and Google docs are based on LaTeX math commands. I made this a few years ago for Google docs, and equation editor is very similar.

I find the position of my desk a bit of a hindrance to using it all the time. I think I would use it more if I had a stand up desk closer to the board.

I also use it in lessons, not all the time, but particularly for topics like transformations where I really want students to see exactly what I’m doing as I do it, without me stood in the way of the board.

Graphics pads are an inexpensive option if you don’t have a tablet and so easy to use as just plug into USB on any computer.

I didn’t know about converting plain text to equations. Also never thought to annotate using the smart board. I use a graphics pad. I find not many people know about these.

Hi everyone! Please share this to any secondary Maths teachers 😊:
I have created a Christmas Maths exam paper in the style of Edexcel for my year 11 class for a bit of fun. Please feel free to use it too:

My understanding is very rusty with this being my first year teaching A level, this was just from a quick google search

Is this what you mean, with cos represented by x coordinate and sin the y coordinate so I suppose in theory you don’t need to know CAST as can just check if it’s positive or negative?

I have just been prepping my trig lessons for next week. I don’t remember ever doing CAST myself and haven’t included this in my lessons. I kept thinking maybe I should be so your post has been very reassuring! 😊

Last minute #Alevelmaths homework planning for this afternoon and just discovered these - exactly what I needed for a binomial expansion homework. Thanks Jethwa maths if you are on here!

Congratulations!

Thanks, this is helpful. I think I used Microsoft edge. Which browser do you suggest?

I used the exam builder to make a gcse assessment. It was great but I did have a few problems with the lines of fractions not appearing in the pdf so I had to add these in myself. Also is there any option to save the digital exam after it is built? I could then use it for class feedback.
