Resourceaholic Last weekend I recorded a podcast with Craig Barton to celebrate my 100th gems post. I love the way @boss_maths described it: "So informative and entertaining, listening to this felt uncannily like listening to TMS as a cricket fan"! You can listen here and see what you think. The conversations we had in the podcast made me realise how much happens in a year. In this post I look back at 2018 and list some of my personal highlights, and look ahead to what's coming up in 2019. The start of 2018 saw the publication of Craig's book How I Wish I'd Taught Maths. Thankfully, opportunities for maths teachers to take control of their own professional development have continued to grow. In 2018 I attended three of La Salle's national maths conferences and loved every minute. If you missed these presentations then you might be able to catch me presenting them again next year. In addition to the La Salle conferences, I was fortunate to attend a number of excellent events in 2018.
Home | AMSP Computing Technology for Math Excellence Math Apps: 21st Century Math Centers | Math File Folder Games Math Games join the 21st Century, with innovative Mobile iOS apps! Check out our new innovative, fun, method of teaching and practicing mathematics. Our original math games makes use of the latest, youth friendly technology, to better engage students in learning mathematics. Many teachers view iPhones, and iPods as something to be kept out of the classroom, because they distract students, however, these are powerful tools which if used properly can greatly enhance educational experience by teaching in the language of today’s students. Modern students spend 40 hours a week or more on their mobile devices and phones, making them an important platform of communication to this generation. Aimed at upper elementary and middle school students the iOS apps focus on key areas of learning. My goal is to replace the current drill and kill tools that teachers currently use with interactive games and activities that will help students practice math in an engaging highly involved way.

Math = Love: Bulletin Board Ideas I've spent many a hour browsing pinterest and blogs for new ideas for decorating my high school math classroom. This summer, I'm taking some time to categorize some of my own resources so they are more accessible to readers. This page is meant to house pictures of the bulletin boards I have created over the past few years. Most (not all) are math-y, but I think they can be easily adapted to your own classroom. I've also created a page on my blog to house all of the posters I have created. Click here to find the files to create many of these bulletin boards. When you enter this classroom... Absent?

Mathshelper.co.uk A Level Resources Over the course of my teaching career I have written various revision sheets for my students at both of the schools I have taught at. I don't agree with the philosophy of cramming close to the exam, but students will be students, and I wanted mine to have a document that they could refer to the night before to ensure that they knew all the required information for the exam. Inevitably when writing them I have had in mind the set who were going to use them. I am currently teaching the new OCR Linear A Maths Course (for first Assessment in 2018).

Yummy Math Hands On Math: Teaching Integer Addition & Multiplication Tables Using Corn-hole Corn-hole has become all the craze for parties. I can think of a dozen different ways they could be used to teach math lessons. I will share two of these ideas below. Using Corn-hole to Teach Multiplication Tables This activity would be great for the whole class but I truly think it would be a wonderful tool for helping those students who are behind to catch-up. Essentially, you will have two different colored bean-bags. Rules of Play 1) If they make both colors in they will multiply them and add this number to their score 2) If they make one color but not the other, they multiply them but do not add them to their score 3) If they miss both of them, they multiply them and subtract the number from their score. Examples Of Three Tosses: Toss 1: Blue Bag 2, Red Bag 5 -I make both: I record my answer and my score is 10 Toss 2:Blue Bag 6, Red Bag 1 -I make one, but not the other: I record my answer but my score is still 10 Toss 3:Blue Bag 4, Red Bag 2 Score Sheet: Red Bag #_____ Blue Bag #_____
