#MathsToday Teaching histograms to year 11 this week and returned to @drrowlandson.bsky.social’s amazing planning series to start. So much deep thought and insight in every post! 🙌 ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2020/06/05/f...

Filling in the Gaps With Histograms

This blog posts focuses on the sorts of histograms that students see in GCSE Mathematics: histograms with unequal class intervals and where the heights of the bars represent frequency density.&nbsp…

🎞️ They don’t seek the spotlight, but they shape the future of maths every day. As another academic year ends, we want to celebrate EVERYONE across the 40 Maths Hubs who has worked tirelessly to make the programme a continuing success 👏 #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat

Calling all Maths teachers! What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths? Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks... ... or just ones you really like. (see some of mine below)

Any schools don't have a full maths department for September or have teachers from other subjects teaching maths might find the programme below helpful. 👇🏻 It's fully funded training for non-specialist teachers of maths, supporting them to teach maths confidently and in depth. #ukmathschat

With around 1 in 8 KS3 maths lessons being taught by non-specialists, it's vital we support them 📹 Step inside a real Work Group to hear how Maths Hubs are helping non-specialist teachers thrive #Maths #EduSky #UKMathsChat www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTk5...

Over the last couple of months I have been watching - Expertly designed and led PD - With out-of-field maths teachers 'growing' their identity as mathematician, - Become even better at teaching students who need maths teachers the most. So important that these programmes externally evaluated. (1/n)

Properties of quadrilaterals with Y8. They sort of know this all already but it still always seems like a bit of a slog! Today we did everything on this hierarchical diagram rather than as a list, which I hope made it seem more logical. #MathsToday

A diagram with the names of quadrilaterals and arrows showing which are special cases of the others. Red annotations show properties relating to parallel sides. The same basic diagram, with annotations in purple to show properties relating to equal length sides. The same basic diagram, with annotations in blue to show properties relating to angles.

The @ncetm.bsky.social has a fabulous #SKTMSecondaryNonSpecialistTeacherProgramme for anyone teaching mathematics outside of their specialism. This video featuring @kandmmathshub.bsky.social captures it perfectly. @j9allen.bsky.social @garethshadick.bsky.social www.ncetm.org.uk/news/inside-...

More Y9 trig #MathsToday: we ditched the tables in favour of drawing multipliers directly onto the triangles. This lesson went pretty well! Still just using sin and cos, and today I kept everything in one orientation as well.

Three triangles, with working in a ratio table to find a missing length. The same three triangles and answers with the tables removed, and the title How might we skip the table?The reference triangle with multipliers drawn on: x sin(a) goes from the hypotenuse of 1 to the opposite of sin(a), and x cos(a) goes from the hypotenuse of 1 to the adjacent of cos(a).Four questions that have been solved by drawing multipliers onto the triangles

For the next stage of our trig lessons, we looked at the unit circle and introduced sine and cosine as a way to generate a reference triangle for any angle. At this stage they’re still then using similarity and ratio tables to find the missing sides. #MathsToday
