Furbles | ptolemy.co.uk “Furbles are the shape of things to come: this software is technology at its best and well worth the money.” John Dabell, TES Magazine Furbles started life as an idea for teaching statistics in an interesting way with children from KS1 to KS3. The original version was published in 2003 online, and its popularity spread. It has been downloaded and used over 20,000 times in the last five years. In 2006 Sherston Software commissioned me to write a commercial version. Furbles was originally devised as an innovative way of imagining statistics and the depiction of statistics. Part of the idea of Furbles was also to encourage teachers to take a fresh look at how to teach the subjects. This model of a Furble (right) from Ferndown Middle School is a wonderful example of some work that lead from Furbles at a primary school. If you are interested in purchasing the 2008 commercial version, then please visit the Sherston Software website.

Division…Bring It! We’re in the midst of multiplication and division madness in my classroom! To help the kids understand the termonology associated with a division problem, I created this anchor chart. I also revamped an activity I posted last year. What strategies do you use to help your kids get more comfortable with the termonology?! How to measure butter & margarine How to Measure Butter Is 1/2 lb. of butter the same as 1/2 cup of butter? The recipe writers of the world have entered into a conspiracy to make cooking with butter way more complex than it should be. In one recipe they ask for a half-cup of butter. In the next, they ask for 8 tablespoons. In this country, butter is mostly packaged in 1-pound boxes, with four individually wrapped quarters or sticks. Butter Measurement Translation Chart to Defeat Nefarious Recipe Writers* *This also works for margarine that comes in 1-pound boxes.

Curriculum Mapping We thought it would be helpful for maths teachers if we identified our favourite "rich tasks" from the NRICH collection. These resources have been chosen because they are ideal for developing subject content knowledge as well as mathematical thinking and problem-solving (process) skills. The documents give links to the different topics in the curriculum. We know they are transferable and useful to all teachers, whatever curriculum they follow. To help you further, as teachers create additional mapping documents based on ours and send them to us, we are adding them below. Further NRICH links to the Secondary Mathematics Curriculum in England NRICH has worked with the Secondary National Strategy to develop guidance based on NRICH problems that illustrate what pupils should know and be able to do within a particular process strand. NRICH links to OCR stages Mark Greenaway, an AST in Suffolk, has worked on embedding resources listed in the mapping documents to the 10 OCR stages.
