My year 11s had a go at this lovely Dr Austin task today - Recognising graphs. They not been exposed loads to cubic of reciprocal graphs so did find it hard at time but most of them got there in the end.
@nathanday.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comIn #MathsToday, Year 10 did some averages with fractions:

This was one of the original Interwoven Maths tasks when the site launched, and I still love the different fraction skills it requires, e.g. finding the midpoint of two fractions in the third column.

Year 10 have been working on negative fractional indices today. I've really been liking these Maths helper questions, they are really good for a Set 1.

@studymaths.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comI've spent a bit of time on Linear Equations within the MathsBot curriculum today.
Here's a one-click resource which generates 24 increasingly difficult ones to solve.
@kerrydunton.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comIn #MathsToday #ALevelFM we were working on de Moivres theorem. All was good until we got to ones like this where they needed to make the arguments match. Does anyone know where I could find more questions like this?
@nathanday.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comIn #MathsToday, Year 10 were doing some averages from frequency tables.
They started with this from one of @studymaths.bsky.social's #1001MathsBots [table not revealed at first!].
And then moved on to some variationy practice questions.

Yr11 have been looking at quadratics as a whole, turning points, roots and Y-Intercept. They definitely need more practice but they are getting there.
@nathanday.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comIn #MathsToday, Year 8 have started a chapter on Ratio and Proportion.
Certainly a contender for one of my favourite topics to teach. And it is one with a lot of particularly lovely NCETM Checkpoints to choose from - these are two highlights for me.

@jennycains.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comIn #mathstoday, I’ve been playing around with using Numicon to represent the structure of different sequences visually for my Year 7 students.
@nathanday.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comIn #MathsToday, Year 13 Further Maths had a lesson in the morning to revise for an afternoon Core Pure 1 assessment.
I printed off a nice double-sided A3 revision mat.
There's something about that format that I find feels more approachable than 50 questions in a list!

@mathsjem.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comNew! A post about what I've been doing lately in my department & my lessons - hopefully with some ideas for teachers to borrow. Plus a link to my latest podcast with Craig Barton where we chat about set changes, AI for homework and poor use of the equals sign.
@over-drawn.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comCoincidentally, I've been linking all of my year 11's quadratic work to sketching graphs today. We explored x=0, y=0 (and hence solving, usually by factorising) and completing the square for min/max. There's a brilliant @draustinmaths.com worksheet that I then gave them to practice. Small steps 😁

@studymaths.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comYesterday we looked at algebraic function machines.
Year 7 enjoyed making the inputs and outputs with the real tiles and asked me if they could use them again in the next lesson.
I also enjoyed using my new pen tool of course!
@catrionaagg.bsky.socialReposted by @draustinmaths.comI got to do some #MathsToday 😁 using this lovely task with new leads of A Level Pedagogy Work Groups.
If you teach A Level anywhere in England, I would really encourage you to contact your local Maths Hub and join a Work Group for 3 days of brilliant free CPD.
