The Sorting Train. Also called the "attribute" or "classification" train. A fun activity/game for young learners. The idea is simple enough. Start a train with an item, or shape. It doesn't have to be mathematical, though that is a good place to start mathsbtc.com/2026/01/03/the…

I have had some time to collate and update my maths resources for primary. Lots of links to great sites and pdfs, particularly for problem solving and puzzling from EYFS to Y6 🌍mathsbtc.com/resources/ #PrimaryMaths #MathsEDU #primaryeducation

Friday is a double day! (for UK calendars) 👉6.12.24 Celebrate in maths lessons with this slide deck I made! mrhilledu.live/yka Resources and ideas from EYFS to KS3! #maths #primarymaths #double #primaryresources

Here's another way I make fluency sheets more interesting. Question Roulette. Choose 4 Qs from each section, When peer marking if they selected a winning Q and got it correct, they get 5 bonus points. #KS2maths #addition #mathschat

Preparing some addition problem solving for challenge students in KS2/3 - a bit of Don and one of my own. I don't even know the answer to the last one, looking forward to exploring with the students! #mathschat #maths #mathschallenge 🌏mrhilledu.live/xql

At least I can show my Y5s that they are better than AI at problem solving addition problems!

Seeing if GPT 4o can create/solve missing number column addition and subtraction. It cannot. Funny how it can produce incredible mathematics and also utter dross. #maths #AIeducation

Add one extra square so that there exists at least one line of symmetry. Don says there are four solutions, I can only find three! Someone please help me. I don't think he would make a trick question. #mathchat #maths

Increasing engagement and challenge in a mathematics lesson sometimes is just a tiny change. Fielker (1997) talked about completeness, challenging students to explore every possible outcome in order to better generalise and find efficient strategies. mrhilledu.live/ske

Quick resource share #KS2 #KS3 #maths #multiplication game for two players. Seven levels of sheets. Idea from a forgotten source - thank you though! Link here - drive.google.com/file/d/1I0IWDe…

I get it, but the maths here by @DailyMailUK is taking some liberties. Reading it that way makes it sound as if 2/5 is 42%, better if it stays 42% (about 2 in 5 people) or am I being pedantic? #mathschat

Phew! I have finalised my 50 ideas for using @microbit_edu for #maths and can't wait to share them out at #ISTELive #ISTE23

#Maths world cup fever! There are other versions of this I am sure, here is my simple one with lots of prompts, I love watching students redraw the groups to make it fairer. #mathsbtc #iteachmath #mathschat 🌐mrhilledu.live/worldcup

Absolutely delightful context IMO. twitter.com/MrHillEdu/stat…

My Y3s mapped out all the numbers 1-100 using the 'if odd(+1) if even(1/2 it)' rule. They loved it and likened it to the Tokyo train network! Also the longest line starts with an unexpected number #mathsbtc #mathsenrichment

When you travel halfway around the world to New Orleans and end up catching up with Rock Legend Baz Wynter @TTRockStars . What a great surprise! #ISTELive

Got over 20 CT/Math(s) projects to share this weekend at #ISTELive! But which one should we do a walkthrough? Even if you can't attend live, which one would you choose? Listed from easiest to hardest! @iste #computationalthinking

Problem #9: Everyone says that maths exams are easy to mark... they really aren't Test yourself to see how accurately you can mark these student responses Each tweet has the question response and mark scheme and is followed by the poll for you to submit your answer ❌✅ 🧵🧵🧵

This was my most successful @PlayCraftLearn Minecraft Maths world to date - An escape house with questions on decimals. The students LOVED it. You can try it too by getting it here: mrhilledu.live/dcm #MinecraftEDU #mathsbtc #gamebasedlearning

Fun maths lesson for end of year! Don't froget 😉about the classic leaping frogs problem. Love doing this with Y4/5/6/7 and exploring problem solving techniques. 📝mrhilledu.live/frogs #mathsbtc #maths #problemsolving
