Is there a way to access all the drag and drop activities?

Questions are also expected to be asked about whether there is a link from the pandemic to the current high rates of absence in schools, and [highlighted text begins] why so few vulnerable children attended school during the first lockdown.[highlighted text ends]

I don't know if they've got anyone on the inquiry panel who was alive at the time of the pandemic, but as I recall it...
"people thought they might die" probably answers lots of questions like this.

The video links are public, so will work for schools who don't use Dr Frost too. Hopefully they might be of help to other teachers and students preparing for 1.4 across AoNZ. #ncea #maths #level1 #mathematicalreasoning #newzealand @drfrostmaths.bsky.social

__1.4 Subject Learning Outcomes mapped to Dr Frost skill links

@drfrostresource.bsky.social for anyone else in #NZ using Dr Frost maths, I've put together this spreadsheet linking to key skills and videos for our #NCEA Level 1 students taking the 1.4 exam. They'll be using this to boost their exam prep tinyurl.com/GHSMaths Any suggested improvements welcome

Will she be telling everyone about other subjects she failed?

Probably from the French? Ize that is.

Hearing that music curriculum team has to pass their work through Seymour’s office where he returns with corrections, mostly around removal of treaty references. Performance music is being cut too.

The green and purple areas are equal. Find the exact value of a.

Make it Write?

We’ve been here before. The Make it Count maths action plan took $30 million from a Māori education initiative and handed it to commercial publishers Erica had undisclosed relationships with.

Is she using dodgy data as a pretext for funnelling cash to private providers, again?

Exactly. My gripe with people’s focus on “evidence-based practices” is there’s no such thing as context-free evidence. And the range of factors that can make implementing a strategy to fidelity ranges to accounting for disability to class size to “did everyone eat this morning?”

That matters.

This is the first activity I do in math class

Finding Peter Putnam The forgotten janitor who discovered the logic of the mind

He modeled the logic of induction; traced the contours of the embodied mind; hung out with Einstein, Wheeler, and Bohr; gave away millions for art and conservation; fought for civil and gay rights; and lived as a janitor. My new story in @nautil.us

A grid from 1 to 36. Each player starts with 10 counters.​ Players take turns to roll a dice and place a counter on a multiple of that number if possible.​ The first player to use up all their counters wins!​

In #MathsToday we played this. A sneaky way to squeeze in some revision on multiples and lots of fun.

Did you know we can visualize rewriting square roots? Here's how!

💯 agree with Mayor Whanau @misswhanau.bsky.social

Local councils are key to providing well-being resources and assets for their communities. Not least because this govt couldn’t care less about people.

I want my tax dollars going to a range of well-being projects. Take my money!

Factorising 3x + 12.

Weaker students can struggle with that, though, but a little tree helped. Cue maths teachers saying "I've always done it that way!" That's why you need subject specialists! 2/2

Yes, and the Pythagoras Pile Up too

Another great day at #NZAMT19 with more Craig Barton - being asked to describe our school's use of Diagnostic Questions in another session with Craig in the audience was a wee bit nerve wracking - and more, incl. NZ's PIAAC numeracy steep decline & 2026's Frankenstein Y12/13 assessments #mathstoday

So great to be in the same room as the great Craig Barton and the great John Rowe at the #NZAMT19 conference in Ōtepoti / Dunedin today. Looking forward to more from both of them tomorrow #mathstoday
