I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about the importance of trust, so I thought I’d follow that up today with another tip for NQTs. It’s something I need to keep working on myself, although I am getting better – last academic year, I hit the Autumn term exhaustion wall about three weeks before …

I spent a bit of time playing catch-up with all the #summerblogchallenge posts I’d missed from everyone else today and spotted @DrBennison’s Twitter History post. I’ve seen a couple more Twitter Wordles recently, and quite liked this idea, so thought I’d have a play in today’s post. I love how big both #mathschat and #mathsTLP appear; …

I mentioned a while ago that I was going to do a #summer10 post at some point; despite the fact that I’m two weeks into my holiday, I’ve pretty much been living and breathing wedding plans and celebrations for most of those, and I realised this morning that I still have nearly five weeks of holiday left, which is …
Another quick one today to follow on from yesterday’s post about the best maths in action I’ve ever seen, with the promise that more relevant blogging will resume from tomorrow! Here are a couple of pics of the “scale model” in action…

Another cheaty pre-written post today – as you’re reading this, I’ll be nowhere near a computer and celebrating my wedding in my in-laws back garden. This is a really personal post, and possibly completely irrelevant to anyone but me and about three other people, but I thought I’d share a few images of where I’m …

So right at the start of August I blogged about my #summer10, a list of ten things I wanted to achieve this summer holiday. As it’s the last day of August and I’ve got less than a week to finish all my jobs off, I thought I’d do a retrospective check and work out what I …

Another quick post today as I am/will be busy preparing for part two of the wedding celebrations and again am/will be nowhere near a computer (I’m still struggling with tenses – see yesterday’s post!). I’m aware that there have been a few “thoughts and musings” posts lately, rather than anything particularly useful, but I’m happy …
You know those people that seem to post all the time on Twitter? I’ve discovered their secret – for me, it was a bit of a necessity if I’m going to manage the #summerblogchallenge, as I got married yesterday and currently have a houseful of people continuing the celebrations until at least Saturday**. It’s a handy little site …

I’ll admit to having to cheat a little bit on this challenge; this post is one of the few I had to write ahead of time and schedule to post later. I have a good excuse – I’m getting married today, and I imagine that, even though my fiance is very understanding about the amount …

Starters can be a contentious issue; the term “starter” is a hangover from the days of three-part lessons in bite-size chunks, which seem to have fallen from vogue now. However, they are still a key part of my teaching, and today’s SBPC looks at why. In my mind, my lesson “starters” fall into three categories, …
And your starter for ten… Read More »
