By Iscuk 2 years ago

Welcome to my 161st gems post. This is where I share some of the most recent information, tips and sources for maths teachers.

1. Mathematicians Show

For far more classroom and corridor displays for maths departments, see my shows web site. 

2. Vectors Endeavor

It’s always excellent to see new material on my favourite website MathsPad. They have now done their curriculum booklets for all of Yr 7, 8 and 9. These booklets are complete of outstanding responsibilities – I use them all the time.
I also love their new no cost Vectors & Quadrilaterals Worksheets. The plan is to perform out which form of quadrilateral will be shaped if you abide by a sequence of vectors. This offers exercise functioning with vectors even though prompting wondering about irrespective of whether pairs of vectors are equal in size, parallel or perpendicular, and encouraging psychological visualisation. There are two levels of issue.

3. Certificate in Even more Maths Assets

In my past put up I pointed out that I have set up a new site linking to Certificate in Even further Maths methods. This can be accessed from the main menu at the prime of my weblog. Considering that then, I’ve added a few added assets to this page:

4. GCSE Revision 

In the Autumn term @MrsEVCartwright gives her Year 11 students a revision sheet for every week on a matter lined so considerably in the program. Every single sheet incorporates a recap of the most important suggestions and tactics, adopted by some concerns to total for homework that 7 days. You can obtain this source from TES.

Again in Gems 155 I shared an additional GCSE revision resource – PowerPoint data files containing GCSE maths thoughts by matter for OCR, Edexcel and AQA. I subsequently awarded it a Gem Award for ‘Most Beneficial Resource’ due to the fact I use it all the time in my GCSE lesson planning. @gcse_math has now shared this resource on its very own website – gcsemathsquestions.co.uk. If you skipped this earlier in the 12 months, do examine it out.

5. Location Benefit

 

Resource Libraries

If you might be new to teaching then you might not know about my resource libraries which have listings of sources for Crucial Levels 3 to 5, organised by matter. I use these libraries each working day when preparing lessons as they give a brief way to browse high-quality cost-free means. 

I test to retain my Crucial Phase 3 and 4 libraries current on an ongoing foundation, and when I start instructing A stage once again upcoming calendar year I am going to do some operate on my A amount libraries much too. Back links in some cases get damaged when individuals shift or delete their sources – if you uncover a broken link then do permit me know! 

I also add new means relatively consistently. For case in point I have not too long ago added much more links to sources from Dr Austin Maths such as tasks for indices, normal form, factorising quadratics, inequalities and graphs.

The quickest way to entry my useful resource libraries when you’re setting up classes is utilizing the menu across the top rated of my blog site.

My dwelling is in disarray (I at this time never have a bed room!) so I’m looking forward to returning to university on Thursday.
