This week's PoT features a few great resources for formulae, a superb blog about basic practice and racing snails...

Blogs

• 'Practice Math Like a Baby' from @benorlin - this has to be one of the best examinations of repeated practice I've read recently.
• 'A Strange Step-by-Step Solution' from @DrBennison, featuring this slightly suspect resource.

Resources

• A lovely interactive resource for writing and understanding formulae, which I'm looking forward to using with my other Year 10 class later this week from @MathedUp.
• A huge Dropbox folder of changing the subject resources via @suffolkmaths.
• A straightforward but well-designed worksheet linked by @mathsjem for completing the square with tiles - I'm going to use this the next time I do my CTS algebra tiles lesson.
• Snail racing timer, also from @mathsjem.
• A fab task combining parallel/perpendicular lines and proof from @dannytybrown.

Other awesome stuff

Of all the novelty online timers, I think I like snail racing the best... http://t.co/eGIFRzeQPf pic.twitter.com/Z7uaprqJNt

Causation and correlation. Excellent example from Viz with explosive findings. #mathchat pic.twitter.com/Jllcbk5JGe
