Looking for some ideas. Most of Year 10 are out on a trip. I have a lesson with a handful who didn't go from the whole year group. Last lesson Friday.

In #MathsToday we practiced differentiating polynomials before moving on to start looking at determining if a function is increasing, decreasing or stationary at a point.
In #MathsToday we had a productive meeting where we discussed changes for the curriculum next year.
Four units are now complete and available for FREE with no sign up needed (for now!) Pass on to any students preparing for the IB Maths AA (SL or HL) exams in May. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl #ibmath #ibmaths #AASL #AAHL
I have made access to my IB Maths AA course free. Hopefully useful for students. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl
IB AA Course — Interactive Maths Tutor
A full course of online lessons, consisting of videos, notes and questions for you to try in order to learn the course content for the IB Maths Analysis and Approaches courses, both SL and HL.

IB Maths Teachers As students work towards the exams in May, they will probably be doing full sets of past papers. Help them understand the weighted totals for grade boundaries with this tool where the input paper marks. tutor.interactive-maths.com/ibdp-maths-g...
Do share this with your exams team. Hopefully helpful for them to manage the different times for exams this mock season.
Mocks coming up? I have a tool that helps get the timings straight when there are multiple exams, and extra time thrown in too. In IB we do 30 minute and 5 minute announcements, not sure about GCSE and A-Level? Can either be on screen or printed like this. tutor.interactive-maths.com/exam-timings
I used this successfully today to teach solving a quadratic equation when you have draw a line on a given quadratic graph. Being able to write the equation next to the graph was really helpful.
Ever wanted to annotate on a Desmos file? I have a new free tool that allows you to do just that! Useful for #MathsToday www.interactive-maths.com/desmos-annot... @mathsjem.bsky.social @studymaths.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @colleenyoung.bsky.social @suzannerelou.bsky.social

I think my question generators are really useful for creating quick questions (biased!). You can project and get as many as you want, turn them into worksheets, bingo, other activities. generator.interactive-maths.com

Looking to learn / revise IB Maths AA? Whilst under construction, my online course is free to access. Number and Algebra, Functions, Geometry and Trig all complete. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl-sign-up
I have been working on a IB Maths AAHL interactive and searchable formula booklet Includes the official formulae, but also some more that students need to know. tutor.interactive-maths.com/ibdp-aahl-in...
AAHL Interactive Formula Booklet | Study more efficiently — Interactive Maths Tutor
An interactive version of the IB AAHL Formula Booklet that lets you search for formula, has extra hints, and includes all the formula you need to know that are not in the formula booklet.

In #MathsToday we looked at the integrating factor method for differential equations. Lovely to bring in some of the other integration methods too.
Now with 3 units complete: Number and Algebra; Functions; Trigonometry. tutor.interactive-maths.com/aahl
A couple of ideas for Christmas drawings based on this Desmos activity.
Last year I created this Desmos activity to help students learn some basics to design their own Christmas pictures. Feel free to use with your classes as term ends. classroom.amplify.com/activity/657...
NEW TOPIC - Similar Shapes Choose from which measurement to be known and which to be unknown from lengths, areas and volumes. As with all questions, project on the board, turn into a worksheet, or treasure hunt, matching cards, bingo, or more. generator.interactive-maths.com
In #mathstoday with year 10, I am quite happy with this set of questions I came up with on solving quadratics with the formula to get exact answers.
Created a set of matching cards for my year 11 class in #MathsToday to practice finding quadratic functions from graphs when given the vertex or the roots. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...

A short activity to help students use Desmos to create a Christmas picture.

After #MathsToday I created a new fill in the blanks generator on Normal Distribution. www.interactive-maths.com/normal-distr... You can choose what is revealed / hidden for any randomly generated distribution by clicking. Easy to screenshot into a presentation, or use live.
In #mathstoday I came up with a new tool on solving quadratic equations using factorising. www.interactive-maths.com/solving-quad... You can choose what you reveal or hide giving lots of flexibility.
I really do think that colour is helpful to identify steps in multi stage problems. But there is also scope to use it to link parts of a solution to the words in the question.
Great time seeing Matilda The Musical in London with my nearly 8 year old tonight. Love having a daddy son date night now he is getting older. #matilda
Create a Question Strip, great for starters. Same set of questions on each side. This one is on Differentiation of Polynomials. Took 30 seconds as I regenerated the questions to get them to increase in difficulty. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...
Create Odd One Out activities using any of the 70 different topics available (or a mixture of them) This one is on equations of straight lines. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...
Worksheet created in 10 seconds on straight line graphs. Nothing fancy, just a few questions. Great for a starter or retrieval activity. You can also make a Codebreaker, odd one out, loop cards. All free, no sign up. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...
I have added a new topic to my generators: Gradient. Find gradients from lines, draw gradients, gradients from two points, missing coordinate given gradient. Turned into worksheets, treasure hunt, matching cards. generator.interactive-maths.com/maths-questi...
