Is there an edutwitter community for Mat/Pat leave teachers returning to work? I don’t have many followers so hoping I can get one or two rts for some contacts. Thanks
Even the @GordonsScience Department is #beginningtolookalotlikechristmas! Their nativity scene is made entirely from equipment in their preparation room! Glass conical flasks, conduction equipment, an evaporating basin as a cradle and string around a funnel tap for the sheep.
I have just discovered goteachmaths.co.uk. What an amazing (FREE!) resource! Can't wait to try the Car Race powerpoint with my year 7s! Thank you @goteachmaths
Just been shown this amazing game that challenges you to make various constructions with a compass and straight edge. sciencevsmagic.net/geo/ . Cracking fun!
Thought i had a mini epiphany today when I did multiples of square numbers before simplifying surds. Seemed to make the process less cognitively demanding 🧠 #mathschat
We have a student like this. One of the best students we have ever had, denied by one grade because of the @ofqual algorithm. He was on course to be our first ever student to go to @Cambridge_Uni (school established 1963). We will appeal, but the injustice is hard to take.
Creating a list of ‘teacher hacks’ for our new NQTs/ trainees. What are the things you wish you’d known? E.g. collecting books in on the page you want to mark or including a header on your PP slides so the title & date are always visible. Contributions/ RTs appreciated!
I was sent the question below which I thought could be good for my students.
I was wondering if anyone has more accurate figures on the percentage of the population who has the virus or the accuracy of the tests? @FryRsquared@mrbartonmaths
It has some really nice follow up questions like - how accurate does the test need to be if we want our positive tests to be correct 95% of the time (quite a scary result!).
Can also investigate effects of non-symmetric false positive/negatives.
