@evrisupportline Please could someone contact me about the parcel you have had since 4th October, I’ve tried ringing, emailing and leaving messages but can’t get through to speak to anyone.

@ScottDaley26 I miss these sooooo much since moving to Australia, @AldiUK please get them in the @ALDIAustralia stores!!!

These hash brown fries from Aldi might be the best frozen chips I’ve ever had.

@mrbartonmaths @ollie_lovell Can’t believe I’ve come all the way from Preston and still get to do CPD with you!! See you tomorrow!

Day 1 of our Australia CPD tour with @ollie_lovell in Perth complete. Brilliant day with fantastic teachers. Still a few tickets left for Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide next week. Hope to see you there! ollielovell.com/craig/

@MsT31415 No left turn maze, making maths clocks

Maths - hit me with your open evening activities pls!

@plavalmat @LessaRiel @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem Thank you I will take a look. How many do you recommend as a class set?

@Charl_dancha @LessaRiel @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem You might like to check out our double sided, embossed recycled plastic place value counters with whole numbers to decimals with fractions and percentage equivalents. Get in touch for an exclusive discount code to use on our website plavalmat.com

Maths teachers, I have a budget to spend but struggling to find things, is there anything you can’t live without in your department? Please retweet @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths

@ThtPedagogyGeek @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths @DrFrostMaths Yes, we already have this. It’s great.

@Charl_dancha @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths How has no-one suggested @DrFrostMaths yet? Easily the best 200/400/600 quid you will spend!

@tauralilley @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem Great thank you I will look in to this!

@Charl_dancha @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem The slides are really well thought out and provide lots of opportunities for mini whiteboard use which I love. The worksheets are also full of questions which allow for stretch and challenge and they have some lovely problem solving resources too!

@AbbyMathsFan @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Yes thank you, may just have to double up On the essentials to spend it

@Charl_dancha @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Fair enough. Then defo white boards, pens and cloth wipes. Algebra tiles. Glue sticks. Subscription to mathsbox and mathspad (for the interactives but also great ppts and worksheets).

@AbbyMathsFan @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths No not really, I have requested a computer room but don’t think the budget will stretch that far 😅

@Charl_dancha @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Do your kids have any tech? If so, mathspad is great for them to use as well as the interactive demos.

@emmaemma53 @tauralilley Sounds great thank you.

@Charl_dancha @tauralilley Mathspad is wonderful! The interactive tools on it are fab. Just this week I’ve used it to demo surface area and volume (unfolding nets, exploding the shape to show different faces, show volume of prisms as layers of cross-section), and angles on parallel lines

@RhysAyres @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem Yes love go teach!! I will have a look at mangahigh thank you

@Charl_dancha @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem Mangahigh subscription is good for KS4, also a website called goteachmaths has some great resources and a school subscription is only £60 a year for the moment!

@RJS2212 @vlongmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths @LaSalleEd Brilliant thank you

@Charl_dancha @vlongmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths @LaSalleEd They do. And every now and then you need a 1/2 x and you can get it. Can’t split a plastic one. Not saying you will cut loads up but under a visualiser nice to be able to do it.

@mrjwinstanley @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem No only gcse, but a good suggestion. Thank you

@Charl_dancha @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem If A Level, as many whiteboards as will fit around the room.

@RJS2212 @vlongmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths @LaSalleEd Thank you, I will have a look. With them being card, do they last? I’ve only seen plastic ones on training. Thanks

@Charl_dancha @vlongmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths You should get the @LaSalleEd Algebra tiles …

@tauralilley @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem Ooh not thought of this. I’ll have a look, what’s the best thing you use it for? Thanks

@Charl_dancha @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem A subscription to Mathspad!

@SandersMaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Yes! Ordered two new sets of both! Even gone for the class box sets of calculators! Very excited!!

@Charl_dancha @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Mini whiteboards and plentiful pens! And calculators...

@LessaRiel @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem Yes great idea, thank you. I will add these to my list, I have got place value counters but not double sided so I’ll get these thank you. Can you explain more about the post it notes please?

@Charl_dancha @1stclassmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem double sided counters come out a lot in my low ability and post it notes for problem solving where numbers are the combination

@vlongmaths @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths This is on my list… any ideas of best places to get them from and how many are actually needed for a proper class? Thank you

@Charl_dancha @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Other than subscriptions (lots of good ones out there), have you got many physical manipulatives? Algebra tiles are great

@CChang34878 @mathscpdchat @MathsladyScott @mathsjem @1stclassmaths Yes I know! And a limited time to spend it. I’m lucky as we have all just upgraded our boards so we don’t need those

@mathscpdchat We try to look at November mocks, and then move any 5’s to higher for revision and past papers. Then keep assessing as we go. Final decision for us mid April unless we decide sooner. I want to try and promote the students to keep pushing as much as they feel they can
