Are they worth it?#mathsTLP

Constructions and loci with Year 11

Once the mocks are done, need to cover constructions (and loci) with yr11 Foundation (Edexcel). Any ideas for anything not horrendously dry? #MathsTLP

Loci and constructions without compasses

Related question:

I want loci/constructions to feature more often in my retrieval starters and low-stakes quizzes.
I don't want the faff of giving out compasses etc.

What sort of questions could I have that cover loci/constructions, but don't require compasses?#MathsTLP https://t.co/uxyecwdK21

We’re into the last 10 mins of #MathsTLP and this is a friendly Maths reminder that this Wednesday (23rd Nov.. US date system 11/23) is Fibonacci Day!

Here’s a short ppt my amazing ETC put together (with a lovely @goteachmaths task included) if it could be of any use to anyone!

Not a lesson resource exactly, but I've got an information evening on exams for parents/students and wondering if anyone had any great resources? #mathsTLP
