NEW: A game I just made for my 4yo. mathsbot.com/puzzles/howM...

I just spent 10 minutes or so with my 4yo hitting the random button and her saying the number as fast as she can. Great fun and a lovely bit of daddy-daughter bonding in more ways than one. mathsbot.com/manipulative... #MathsToday

Keep myself busy in this terrible weather with more Further Maths vectors resources: ✨Vector Equation of a Plane Crack the Code ✨Angles Between Lines and Planes Match-Up ✨Intersections of Lines and Planes True or False Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/a-level-further-maths #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

@studymaths.bsky.social giving me ideas in a session on factors at #bcme10

I am consiering retraining as a secondary maths teacher. Have any other primary teachers made the same transition? I am aware of the NCETM route but wanted to know how realistic it is. RTs appreciated, especially if have a network involved in teaching.

Update: I've added a Foundation and Higher button to the one-mark wonders. mathsbot.com/gcse/oneMark...

Such good questions! I made this based off a similar GCSE question a while back 😊

What's the same and what's different? The "Compare" checkbox makes it easy to compare two different but related objectives from the MathsBot curriculum side-by-side. mathsbot.com/unitExample?...

I've added and tweaked a few questions on Factors, Multiples and Primes. Here's a one-click set of 20 increasingly difficult questions. mathsbot.com/unitMixed?id...

First #MathsConf for me in AGES - looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Hi #EduSky - it's time for my #Saturday3 and starting with the best thing I read this week....I feel everyone on Bluesky has read it already but if it somehow passed you by, this was great writing by @bennewmark.bsky.social. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2026/10/15/w...

New! My 203rd gems post. Ideas, resources and updates for maths teachers. www.resourceaholic.com/2026/10/5-ma... Lots of great stuff in this one! #ukmathschat #alevelmaths

Need 100 questions on volume and surface area of spheres? MathsBot can do that in a click. mathsbot.com/unitMixed?id...

To wrap up Half Term 1, in #MathsToday, Year 10 were doing some fraction/decimal/percentage conversions inspired by/adapted from Don Steward. interwovenmaths.com/percentages We also finished the lesson with some nicely competitive Class Duels: classduels.com/maths/

New. What those who find learning easiest can learn from those who find it hardest. I worked hard on this. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2026/10/15/w...

GCSE questions, revision grids, grade boundaries, exam countdowns, formulae, and more. mathsbot.com/gcseMenu

A sequence of tasks leading up to finding the HCF of two numbers from their prime factorisations. Lots of work on finding factors given a prime factorisation before looking for common factors of two numbers. I chose not to use Venn diagrams and allowed the students to reason their way through it.

In #MathsToday, Year 10 did some averages with fractions: interwovenmaths.com/averages-wit... This was one of the original Interwoven Maths tasks when the site launched, and I still love the different fraction skills it requires, e.g. finding the midpoint of two fractions in the third column.

#Mathstoday First time using Ai today to help get questions (I'm reasonably anti Ai) Gave the Ai 7 questions of what I was looking for and it did manage to create some ok stuff. Couldn't find questions on the topic from actual humans (which I would have preferred)

Is anyone I know going to #BCME10 in a couple of weeks? Or anyone I don't know but might like to change that, I guess? #MathsToday #Maths #Teaching #Learning

would love a better image than this but I only blue sky on my phone will blog it at some point key here is link between function machine, algebra tiles representation and abstract written algebra notation previous to this we either exchange the x tile for 5 or we replace the x on the tile with 5

Continuing to add to the A-level Further Maths resources: ✨Maclaurin Series Crack the Code ✨Momentum and Impulse with Vectors Fill in the Blanks ✨Work Done on an Inclined Plane Fill in the Blanks All freely available at www.draustinmaths.com/a-level-further-maths #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

A few weeks ago, I posted a blog about following up worked examples by asking "What would happen to the answer if I changed the question slightly?" Here's another example of this from the blog. wp.me/p9t8DE-s8 #Mathschat #MTBoS #iTeachMaths #Maths

the flexibility of the algebra tiles is that they can be used in multiple different algebraic ways. If youre not keen on seeing the negative representation in the area model that is not a problem

Love representations in maths. But definitely do not like algebra tiles. Is that ok? #MathsToday

I’ve fixed the typo now…

I was thinking about #MathsConf the other day, and in particular pondering what I would run a workshop on if I did another one. I've alighted on the following title: Teaching from a blank page (or, how to ditch your PowerPoint)

#Mathstoday Used this NCETM task today for finding the area of triangles. Students have to measure the base and height. The original sheet doesn't have the heights drawn on but for my group they needed that scaffolding. They need a bit more time in the next lesson but I'm happy how it went.

I've spent a bit of time on Linear Equations within the MathsBot curriculum today. Here's a one-click resource which generates 24 increasingly difficult ones to solve. mathsbot.com/unitMixed?id...

Very nice. I also had something similar, if not quite so rich...

I've also added the shortcuts to the Example-Problem pairs. Try it here: mathsbot.com/unitExample?...

An example of the sort of work I did in Y3 and Y4 Maths Clubs using questions from international Y3/Y4 maths competitions.

#Mathstoday Used this lovely Mathsbot task. So many of my students said the red shape had the greatest perimeter.

I've spent a bit of time tweaking the Mixed Exercise resource today. Here's a one-click 15 question exercise covering the basics of right-angled trigonometry (lengths and angles, sin, cos and tan). mathsbot.com/unitMixed?id...

PM Targets? Sorted. 1. Support SLT with backward-faded same-difficulty rich tasks during detentions. 2. Support the school nurse to deliver ofsted-ready formula triangles at lunchtimes. 3. Increase the efficacy of increasingly-difficult real-life generative learning with KS5. mathsbot.com/thing

In #MathsToday, Year 10 were doing some averages from frequency tables. They started with this from one of @studymaths.bsky.social's #1001MathsBots [table not revealed at first!]. And then moved on to some variationy practice questions. interwovenmaths.com/frequency-ta...

We introduced collecting like terms with Y7 in #MathsToday

My 8yo came home with this in #MathsToday! 😜

Hi all! Moving on from shapes to angles for the rest of this term, starting with the different types of singular angle. Enjoy! jwrightmaths.substack.com/p/angle-fact...
