More back-to-school ideas, new GCSE assessment resources and a bit of positive thinking.

BLog Posts

  • "Instagram" (@JemmaPDuck) ~ If Facebook's not enough for you, how about conquering the next bastion of social media? This blog post looks at interesting ways to use Instagram in the classroom.
  • "Twitter Chats" (@DrBennison) ~ A pretty comprehensive guide to Twitter chats and how to get involved if you're a Twitter newbie.
  • "Ban the Future" (@Sue_Cowley) ~ A short but amusing blog about the tide of technology, which gets bonus points for reminding me that computer mice used to have balls!
  • "Back to School"  (@headguruteacher) ~ Great blog post about back-to-school priorities.
  • "Changes to primary curriculum" (@MichaelT1979) ~ A guide for secondary teachers about the changes to the primary curriculum.
  • "New classroom displays" (@AccessMaths via @MathsEcho) ~ If your classroom's looking a bit bare, check out these ideas. I pinched a few for my classroom this year.

Resources

  • OCR GCSE support materials (via @mathsjem) ~ In response to my #mathsTLP question about baseline assessments for Year 10, Jo linked to OCR's GCSE resources, which include 44 Topic Check-In tests (at the bottom of the page) - while not quite what I was looking for as a baseline, these look invaluable for use throughout the course.
  • Calculator/non-calculator baseline assessments (@MrMattock) ~ Also in response to my #mathsTLP question, Peter linked these assessments based on the Edexcel original baselines.
  • Integration by a flowchart (@DrBennison) ~ A great flowchart showing all integration methods and model of a sensible thought process for solving integration problems.
  • "Would you rather" warm-up questions (via @tessmaths) ~ Some silly but engaging "would you rather" questions; could work for getting pupils involved and engaged in class discussions early on in the year.
  • "100 Challenge" (@ilovemathsgames) ~ Multipurpose display/starter activity and a simple solution to literacy in the maths classroom.
  • Play with your Math (via @Craigos87) ~ A superb site with lots of rich problems encouraging pupils to get enthusiastic and "play with" their maths; there's a new problem every two weeks.

Other awesome stuff
