Updated: Linear Sequenceshttps://t.co/R0BXxxEGmq

Loads of fun depending on what tiles you reveal initially.

I really like the grids from Jonathan Hall on MathsBot, try his updated linear sequences grid. Note Jonathan’s reference to Amanda Austin’s brilliant Linear Sequences Fill In The Blanks activity. Remember you can keep an eye on new resources from Amanda Austin, I see a fill in the blanks circle geometry activity for Year 12. For lots more fill in the blanks activities from a variety of sources see this Fill in the blanks post.

Talking of new resources, see Miscellany #63 which includes examples of sites with clear ‘What’s new?’ type sections or are easily searched for recent additions and/or have a subscription to a newsletter. Looking at the latest resources from Andy Lutwyche on TES I see Casey continues to be very careless with her Level 2 Further Maths!

On Maths Sandpit from @Ms_Kmp, A-level Exam misconceptions 2022, a presentation about her thoughts on the Edexcel A-Level Maths papers, from the perspective of reviewing students’ papers.

DrFrostMaths is such a goto website and an excellent example of a website which is easy to navigate, perhaps try the Question Explorer. A brilliant feature (well one of the many brilliant features) of Dr Frost Maths is the extensive collection of key skills for UK KS2 to KS5 (ages 8-18), practice as many examples as you want, and perhaps watch a video on this key skill.

Note this latest work – diagrams for Key Skills are now done using Desmos.

Thanks to a gargantuan amount of effort from @gpdupont, *all* our dynamically generated diagrams for Key Skills are now done using Desmos. Have a go: https://t.co/9J0ZHA9Sf2 pic.twitter.com/SpPY2qjzcH

“A place for everything, everything in its place”

Benjamin Franklin

Where do we put things so we can find them again?! I have been organising posts and pages in an attempt to make things easier to find – an ongoing mission, still in its early days! Just a few examples of recent organisation:

Added to the A Level (16+) series of pages is a page for GCSE to A Level Transition. One of the A level pages is on University Admissions Tests, added to that page is Mr Bowler’s Problem Solving Booklet for University Preparation which contains 151 questions to help prepare students for undergraduate admissions interviews in mathematics, answers are also available; the booklet is available on Dr Frost Maths.

The A level series includes A Level Teaching resources, and I have added Advanced Level Starters to that collection.

---

On the subject of Starters, added to the Collections category, is Julia Smith’s (@TessMaths), wonderful collection of Mathematical Hooks. The Starters library can be found on the first of the top menus – Lesson Planning.

Mathematical Hooks padlet…https://t.co/L0ZnlniztU
A reminder of the maths hooks padlet…ways in which to introduce topics, start discussions and develop curiosity

Also added to Lesson Planning is a page for Misconceptions in Mathematics.

George Stone (@DrStoneMaths) is producing one slide summaries of interesting educational research papers, this information has been added to both Research – Learning and Teaching and Research – Mathematics Learning and Teaching, both part of the Reading series available from the top menu.

Do students learn maths better with procedural tasks or with open ended conceptual tasks? This study found that conceptual tasks are better in the long term…#OneSlideSummary of interesting educational research papers day 5.

Older, but still with many useful examples – see these Exemplification Examples which were written by the National Strategies for the then Secondary Framework for Teaching Mathematics. The examples illustrate what students should be able to do within a particular strand of objectives by the end of each year. Examples are in the four categories number, algebra, statistics and geometry and include examples for Year 7, 8 and 9. There are many excellent examples here still relevant for KS3.

• Number (includes Ratio and Proportion)
• Algebra
• Geometry
• Probability and Statistics

These can be found on the KS3 page, also in the Collections category, part of the Starters library, the Starters Library can be found on the first of the top menus – Lesson Planning.

Some useful posts and pages for the start of term…

Examinations – Mathematics November 2022

This page – which is currently easily accessible from the menu on the right-hand side has links to the advance information from the exam boards and some resources to support revision for these exams. I will keep the page updated as new resources are added.

Transition Time

This recent post has resources for transition from Year 11 to A level and for students beginning Year 7.

---

The Starters collection includes many ideas for starting lessons including starters for older students.

Index of starters:

• Collections
• Retrieval Practice
• Challenges
• Number
• Algebra
• Advanced Level Starters

---

This series of GCSE pages is currently undergoing a major update to include many more resources. Number, Ratio, Algebra, Geometry, Probability and Statistics, all include a list of sites where it is easy to search by topic, and all include the old but still useful exemplification examples for Years 7, 8 and 9. On the subject of Years 7, 8 and 9, see the KS3 page which includes the excellent guidance from NCETM.

Number and Algebra currently have the most resources and links to popular posts on these areas.

---

The GeoGebra pages include many resources from Edexcel for GCSE and A Level Mathematics.

---

Your Year 12 students may be taking University Admissions Tests. This page includes many resources for these tests.

These resources for University Admissions Test preparation provide challenging questions for students anywhere studying Mathematics beyond age 16.

See also – No Calculators Allowed which includes information on the BMAT test, and also useful resources for students of all ages to work on estimating skills.

---

The A Level (16+) series of pages accessible from the top menu includes University Admissions Tests and many other useful pages.

The A Level page includes many teaching resources.

GCSE and A Level Science includes much mathematical content, it strikes me that is important for Mathematics Departments to be aware of the mathematical requirements for these qualifications and where appropriate use resources which will support Science as well as Mathematics; see Mathematics for Science

---

From Transum Mathematics, Back to School includes many activities to start the year.

In case you want somethimg for your walls, some Posters.
