75+1 = 76
76*7 = 532
100/50 = 2
532 + 25 - 2 = 555

Check out Caiti Wade too, her podcast does a bit on AI supposedly marking homework

##mathstoday after 2 lessons away on a course I think my year 11s have realised the best thing for them to do in their maths lessons is to sit listen and do the work. Was a pleasant surprise!

Feel like education is trying to shoehorn AI in somewhere because of it's place in society. Reminds me of when Kahoot became a thing and it was chucked in everywhere without much thought to how students were engaging with it

My department is big on manipulatives which ive embraced since I arrived as HoD in September, big 2 so far have been the algebra tiles and fraction rods (want to call them cuisine rods because I can never remember how to spell it!)

Higher or foundation? I've got some for both. Taught foundation last year but higher every year before that

My earliest efforts were scissor and glue stick jobbies mind

Exam board? I have a few that I've done over the years. Doing 1st halves with my year 11 at the moment

I just feel like if you feel like a 13 year old needs to stay in a room for 100 minutes then that is because there is risk involved. Kids shouldn't be made to sit for that long

Thats understandable but I'm more on about schools which have done it across board. Like my year 8s cant manage an hour, like it doesn't feel very SEND friendly

Also the ladder implies that as soon as you have a day off you should stop climbing as youll never reach the top

A student with a chronic illness who is only physically able to be in school 90% of the time should not be made to feel like that is a concern

Have some schools gone too 100 minute lessons purely for crowd control or is there a pedagogical reason behind it too?

Why did they update mathsbox?? #changeisnotgood

And i tried explaining to my class that the majority of people who cheated did it to get the same grade. They've gone from a 4 to a slightly higher 4

Why do they make it so blatant? Had a few students in their mock exams answers a pythag question correct to 1dp without any working

Also massive stroke of luck with algebra tiles being on the agenda for the @ncetm.bsky.social maths hub subject lead meeting yesterday. Couldn't have done it without that input

#MathsToday I used algebra tiles for the first time today, my department love them and i decided to embrace it being new this year. It was a great success (with bottom set year 8 last lesson too!)

My 2iC is one and its fantastic. One of the best things about being a HoD for me is being able to get involved with the Maths Hub

By the time I'd sat my gcses 3/4 years later the school had shut down so I think its ok to speculate about a questionable curriculum

Wait...maybe it had a connection to the Charlotte's Web production we went to see? Swear we watched Babe at that school too

My intermediate school whacked on Animal Farm once. No idea why, definitely wasn't studying it. Reckon someone looked at the front cover and thought "pigs...that'll do"

A few of these have cropped up in past papers my year 11s have been doing before their mocks, with the tagline "draw a suitable graph" and expect a bar chart. I feel thats a bit oxymoronic

I dont know what astounds me more in society: how low the bar is for Dads or how high the bar is for Mums

Lads and dads (or should be lad and dad) day out to the farm today. Think I need to attach a flag to the buddy that says "I am not divorced" for when I take him out solo

I at my gcses in 2009 and all I remember is textbook work

An old HoD of mine would refer to the lead practitioners as "noughties teachers" and this is the stuff they'd encourage you to use

'We really messed up' - does European football need more balance? One set of clubs dominate the Champions League, another win their domestic title every year but cannot compete - does European football have a problem?

Been trying to find this post because pretty much every graph in this article is a shocker

Worked with Ben last year, I have never met someone who cares so much about teaching as a craft
