Hello again! I hope you are all safe and well and managing with this new digital way of teaching. I also hope that PixiMaths may have helped some of you with making teaching from home a little easier.

As I prepare to return to work in September, either physically or remotely, I've been busy behind the scenes with new and old content. I've got a job as "just" a teacher so I'll still be able to balance running PixiMaths and looking after my lovely little boy.

I am working on a new project that will be ready for release in August so you can use/promote it to your new classes in September if you wish. More news on this soon! 

I have been re-writing and re-designing lessons too; some were long overdue. So far I have done all the lessons within the first three PixiMaths SOL units: Integers, Powers and Roots, Sequences, Functions and Graphs, and Lines, Angles and Shapes (excluding IGCSE content which I'll do later). You can find them here. I hope you see an improvement too!

My digital planner has been updated to include next academic year so it's ready when you are. Find it here.

Website of the Month: More Same Less

More, same, less grids are a structure in which mathematical tasks can be designed. 

They combine learner-generated examples and variation theory to get students thinking more deeply about a concept and the underlying structure. 

Starting with the given centre object, pupils have to try and make the minimum change possible to complete the other boxes.​To complete the other boxes pupils have to change one aspect of the centre object, whilst simultaneously having to control for another change.

I really like these and look forward to using them with classes soon.I
