Teaching finding stationary points via differentiation today, I decided to only teach them how to find the x and then y-values, and let them practise that process. Next lesson I'll just teach about completing nature tables:

Here's my expressions round from our department's mathematical Christmas quiz. Share and enjoy!

Some practice for the kinds of Higher Circle questions that pupils find hard. Because, as @mrallanmaths points out, it's really just S1/2 geometry questions. Feel free to use with either year group!

I made this towards the end of our topic on quadrilaterals (and they had previously done circles). Pupils always need more practice of working backwards, and this worked well: the difficulty ramps up nicely. Worksheet with answers is at https://t.co/olfodqTsYL

This pupil answered a reverse percentages question with a method that I'd never thought of, but which makes perfect sense. They've just invented negative indices with a 'real' context.

Get the pdf version of the sheet here https://t.co/8iZb32WwUW 4/4

As a starter we did this great task from @giftedHKO, which had them already thinking about pairs. 3/4

Not telling them that the answers could be paired up was a good change from my original version. It was interesting to see who figured it out for themselves. 2/4

So this task was great today - lots of engagement and rich discussion. 1/4

Thanks for the replies. A streamlined sheet (only Q1 and Q3) is now available here https://t.co/SUcis9jRC6 (in two versions - to cater for both the πd and 2πr camps). I'll be trying it with my class on Wednesday - last lesson of the term.

So I had this idea for a worksheet. Any suggestions before I try it out on pupils next week?

I couldn't find a sheet that I liked which worked backwards from the area of triangles and/or rectangles to find missing lengths, so I wrote one.

About to write a worksheet on solving trig equations, and decided I wanted 'nice' answers. And I wanted to use fractions or surds instead of decimals. So I made some alternative trig. tables before starting.

Another set of questions focusing on one step in a larger process. This time solving first order differential equations using the integrating factor.

Focussed practice of the part of proof by induction that my pupils find the hardest to get correct: how to start the induction step.

These questions went down well with my class this morning - inspired by the integral 'looky-likeys' from @WaysWithMaths (via @ChrisMcGrane84)

My AH class flew through the first questions in today's starter but then discovered that the later ones needed more thought. Integration is harder than differentiation...

A new worksheet of mine that's already had a great response from both N5 and Higher classes at school. Inspired by @ChrisMcGrane84, but focusing on the particular area of quadratics that they need right now. https://t.co/truDo2bOUJ via @tesResources

Picking a favourite #donsteward resource is impossible. So here's just a few I've used recently: https://t.co/HbWiuzcYOH https://t.co/BZ7qpiLo6v https://t.co/67y6YxqGI6 And his practice makes perfect sheets are also great: https://t.co/wJfpxNykku https://t.co/iBx9WI4zjI
