I love tasks which make student think and discuss. Menu Math tasks meet these criteria. I have attempted to create one myself – on Graph Theory. I am not sure if I have chosen my constraints well though? If you want to help out, have a go at the task below, and leave a comment suggesting any changes you would make. You can download a PDF of this task here: Graph Theory Menu Task ..read more

I was so inspired by @MrNiksMathClass square counting activity in the shape of a shark, that I decided to create my own. Each class I have used this with have loved it and learnt about like terms and square numbers. My shape is a Stegasaurus which I have made from rhombi, so I have renamed it “Rhombisaurus”. I wonder if my students will spot the triangular numbers ..read more

On a recent flight from Perth to Melbourne I perused the movie list and chose “Ride Like A Girl” directed by Rachel Griffiths. I don’t intend this post to be a movie review but do yourself a favor and watch it. I’m serious WATCH IT. It is inspirational and will probably make you cry – I did! Because the film is so inspiring I intend to show the movie trailer and part of a Sunday Night interview with Rachel Griffiths to my Mathematics classes. I have prepared a worksheet which may download here as a pdf: RIDE LIKE A GIRL. Let me know in the comments if you think this has merit? Any other comm ..read more

I have given students this problem before and they were engaged. However, I didn’t think of getting them out of their seats! Thanks Tracy, I will definitely be re-using this. Fractally Speaking ~ Maths T & L Originally sourced from Maths300 this activity is great for getting students up and moving. I quite often run this in the first week of school and get students to introduce themselves to their classmates if they are new faces. I give each student a number (it is usually easier if they are printed on paper) 1….24, and then have them all stand in a confined open area and group the ..read more

The use of literacy tasks in Mathematics classes is often met with opposition from both students and teachers. In fact, as a student, I would try to avoid writing tasks as much as I could despite being a keen reader. I now find as a teacher that: I have a duty to help develop a students literacy Some literacy tasks are “fun” Literacy tasks can enhance the teacher – student relationship. Thanks to Paul Flintham for his Newspaper Template on TES. My Year 11 Mathematical Methods class has been studying Trigonometry. As in previous years the Unit Circle has helped student’s learning a lot. Image ..read more

Join the Dots

I was planning a decimals lesson for my year 7 class. Upon searching Colin Fosters excellent resources I noticed: “Oral work: Go around the class counting up in 0.3’s, say, beginning at 5. Will we ever hit 100? What’s the closest we’ll get?” It occurred to me that this sort of practice could be adapted to a ‘join the dots” puzzle. You can download a pdf here: Add point three. My colleague is teaching FDP (fraction – decimals – percentages), so asked me to create a puzzle making a picture of a Corgi dog – she owns two! You can download a pdf here: add 5 percent ..read more
