@Mathemategol Have you seen @mrshawthorne7 spreadsheet? Lots of resources from don steward etc on here?

Direct time task is to develop a resource for stretching most able at KS3. We follow WRM. What kinds of things do departments have in place? I have seen some other dept in school with little A5 booklets of extension work.

@dare_richard @StudyMaths I do really like it. Certainly provides a consistency. Would prevent the dreaded ‘Is this when when we use the bus stop?’

@StudyMaths Courtesy of @MctagueDavid! In my foolishness, I missed it the first time around.

Bus stop division using the traditional column method? Recorded with my camera tool, sponsored by the lovely people @HUEcameras mathsbot.com/cam

@Mathemategol More than happy to discuss what we’ve done and how we’ve mapped SSs to progression descriptions and more widely adapted to suit CfW.

@MctagueDavid Yes I am, not used the WRM previously. I believe that initially taken up to manage a lot of non-specialists teaching maths and to get some consistency. Not as much of an issue now so wondering what adaptations can be made to improve outcomes.

Those using the WRM KS3 scheme. How have you adapted it to be a success in your context?

@MissVasey_Maths @OHAmaths These are fab, is it possible to have a copy of these? My email is mctagued5@hwbcymru.net Thank you @mrsj_field1

Amazing open evening once again! My maths team are amazing 💜 @OHAmaths

Currently building vocabulary glossaries for pupils with #EAL/#ESL and shocked by the lack of mathematics related secondary content. Anyone have any excellent recommendations? Very happy to share mine / collaborate once done @mathsjem @neiljstewart @hegartymaths @draustinmaths

@CMcDermottMaths @mathsjem @missradders That’s a great idea. I know there is some great resources out there but I haven’t used any before. Thank you.

Hi all, Looking for any suggestions or ideas on how to increase attendance of our lunchtime Maths club? Thank you! @mathsjem @missradders

@ZESEirias @suffolkmaths @JJewellmaths @mathsjem @Just_Maths @mrbartonmaths This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!

@suffolkmaths @JJewellmaths @mathsjem @Just_Maths @mrbartonmaths Fantastic resources, thank you for sharing. @MctagueDavid have you seen these?

My school is starting teaching A - Level maths and further maths for the first time next year. I’m looking for inspiration from some sow. Can anyone help out? Anything would be massive appreciated!! @mathsjem @Just_Maths @mrbartonmaths

@quantumdotty @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec Interesting, thank you. Do you follow the SOW up to year 9 then? I have been looking at how WRM matches the cross cutting themes, do you feel it covers these?

@MctagueDavid @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec From the mapping I’ve done upto y9 it covers everything. And the way WRM uses manipulatives and visual representations seems to fit well with the proficiencies. Needs more tweaking at gcse, particularly if you want to be able to do numeracy in Nov y11, that’s our work in progress

Teachers of WRM secondary- how do you keep on target for length of time for topic? Do you Check-Up DIRT and retest? Struggling to fit it in with close the gap too #wrm #whiteRoseMaths #maths @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec

@notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec Do you still use the WOs if combining small steps?

@MctagueDavid @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec We made mistake of small step per lesson, and covid means behind and need to catch up/ close the gap by approx 1 term

@DeeVijayan @mathsjem @missradders Thank you!

@MctagueDavid @mathsjem @missradders Stickers, achievement points/ merit points for attendance

@mathsmuse @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec How does the thread look? Are these not separate lessons?

@notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec We found that we struggled for time. What I've done is go through and identify where a small step is nice but not necessary and could be done as a thread behind the scenes rather than an explicit lesson.

@MrDCowling @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec Same as ourselves, have you begun to streamline content?

@notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec We are really struggling. Like above, we have 6 hours per fortnight for KS3. We’re going to have to take some repetitive units out and utilise retrieval in starters. Be interesting to see what others say!

@katedrage @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec We are similar to this if not more, have you managed to streamline the SOW at all?

@notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec We're a half term behind with y7 . Not sure how to catch it up tbh

@quantumdotty @notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec Being in a Welsh school too, how do you find WRM suits the new curriculum?

@notgotaminute @whisto_maths @WRMathsSec No wonder we struggle! And here in Wales this is examined by two separate compulsory GCSEs. Maths and maths numeracy….

@stevens_gabby @mathsjem @missradders Trip seems a great incentive, thank you.

@MctagueDavid @mathsjem @missradders Prove to them it’s not just another maths lesson. I’d entice with food maybe something they can eat at lunch time like pizza, name the club something cool and have an outcome like a trip or something to get the kids involved!

@msjjmaths @missradders @mathsjem These are really creative and great ideas. Thank you.

@MctagueDavid @missradders @mathsjem Cipher Challenge in the autumn term sees 60+ in attendance. In Jan numbers reduce to c30. Collecting Transum trophies, Desmos Teach tasks, virtual Escape rooms, DFM Live & Maths Kahoots work well if you have ICT. Today we did Skyscrapers with manipulatives buildingmathematicians.wordpress.com/tag/skyscraper…

@italiadlv @hartmaths @LPmaths @PixiMaths @StudyMaths @MissBsResources @JoLocke1 @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths @MrMattock Cheers both! 👍

Help please maths teacher friends. I need to put in place a numeracy tutor session (20-25mins) for each year group. It needs to be challenging yet accessible. What are other people doing? @PixiMaths @StudyMaths @MissBsResources @JoLocke1 @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths @MrMattock
