MAY NEWSLETTER

Following Paper 1 of the Edexcel new GCSE, I have created four foundation practice papers and three higher practice papers. Answers kindly completed by @SuffolkMaths. Find the pack here.

 

Lots of new lessons this month including introduction to rounding, volume and surface area of cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres and arcs and sectors.

 

A new blog post about encouraging independence in your classroom through limiting questions that students can ask you.

 

New page dedicated to department documents to support new heads of department. Hopefully a good starting point at least!

 

I've also created a page on homework ideas. Nothing of mine here as there is already so much awesome stuff on the internet.

 

Year 10 enjoyed playing times tables snap. Why not have a go with your students?

Suggested activities for year 6 transition day

 

This carousel consists of 4 activities, with each expected to take 10-15 minutes hopefully. Each activity comes with instructions to enable students to be relatively self-sufficient (hopefully!). These will need adapting depending on the prior attainment of your intake. Please let me know what you think. Activities include 'make a die', 'pictograms', 'directed numbers codebreaker' and 'patterns and sequences'.

Website of the Month: StudyMaths

StudyMaths is a website full of revision notes and worksheets created by the amazing Jonathan Hall. Worksheets are interactive and self-marking so perfectt for this time of year when your students all want to be working on different topics. I've been using this a lot!
