Predictably, lots of the blog posts I’ve read this week have been about the third Maths Conference last Saturday. Having said that, it’s great to read other people’s perspectives and get an idea of what went on in all the workshops I didn’t attend. Here’s a few I’ve enjoyed:
- @BodliUK ~ 3 Techniques You Should Know, Mastery Assessment and Tricks and Tips.
- @DrBennison ~ Sticky Studying, Johnny Ball, Tricks and Tips.
- @Just_Maths ~ Interesting thoughts about thinking critically about teaching techniques.
- @naveenfrizvi ~ 3 Techniques, The Hows and Whys of how and why, Bar Modelling.
- @mathsjem ~ First blog post about her Tricks and Tips session with all the notes.
- @workedgechaos ~ Full summary of the day; his report on the Great Mastery Debate is really worth reading.
Some other goodies include:
- @MrReddyMaths: Ofsted and mastery of maths ~ A summary of Jane Jones (HMI)’s thoughts about the latest mastery trend and Ofsted’s reaction (it’s really positive!).
- @MathsPadJames: Arbitrary and Necessary and Must-Be Maths ~ He’s just started a blog and there are some great things on there.
- @Maths_Master: The Cockroft report ~ Always worth re-reading!
And a few random bits:
- @The_Geek_Club ~ Pythagoras cartoon.
- @aap03102 ~ Surds magic square.
- @sxpmaths ~ Brilliant way to learn and practise important integration techniques for C4.
