I travelled to Bristol on Fri morn to attend an AQA Expert Panel meeting. These meetings bring identify iii times a twelvemonth in addition to ever involve actually interesting discussions. One of the things nosotros looked at inwards especial on Fri was the novel wordier format of AQA score schemes - I intend people volition similar the approach they are taking here.
On Fri black I enjoyed a lovely dinner amongst swain teachers, in addition to thence nosotros joined the remainder of the pre-conference gang inwards the pub. Ed Southall, Craig Barton in addition to I shared a bottle of bubbly to celebrate the launch of Ed's fantastic novel volume 'Yes, but why? Teaching for agreement inwards mathematics'.
Watch Ed's here. And create purchase his book!
The minute session I attended was 'Where your Y11s volition become incorrect inwards this summer's Maths GCSE in addition to what you lot tin create virtually it now' yesteryear Craig Barton. Craig is such a slap-up presenter. His session actually got me thinking virtually where I demand to focus my Year xi revision lessons subsequently Easter. He listed the x topics that electrical flow Year 11s possess got provided the to the lowest degree right answers for on diagnosticquestions.com (Craig's information ready consists of a massive 4 1000000 questions answered). We looked at some educatee responses to elbow grease to sympathise their misconceptions. The topics were: 1. Working amongst y = mx + c 2. Writing ratios 3. Enlargement 4. Tree diagrams (conditional) 5. Upper in addition to lower bounds 6. Expanding double brackets 7. Angles inwards parallel lines 8. Multiples in addition to LCM 9. Circumference of a circle 10. Sketching quadratics.
Craig talked virtually the best agency to tackle gaps inwards students' cognition in addition to understanding, emphasising the demand for 'purposeful practice' rather than rushing ahead to to a greater extent than complex occupation solving. As Craig said, 'If they're non secure inwards the basics, what's the flippin' point?'.
Craig pointed us inwards the administration of his fantastic website for adept resources, drawing especial attending to some of Don Steward's rich tasks (or, equally Craig calls him, 'Big Donny').
At dejeuner it was the Tweet Up - many thank you lot to the team @danicquinn, @letsgetmathing, @ColonelPrice, @BetterMaths, @MrMattock in addition to @MrCarterMaths in addition to to everyone who came along to elbow grease the activities.
I ran a light-hearted 'vote for your to the lowest degree favourite topic to teach' tabular array (the reverse of the #mathsworldcup). The winner was congruence. It was really interesting to reckon what teachers chose equally the topics that they notice hardest to learn or don't enjoy, in addition to to withdraw heed their reasons. Thanks to everyone who came in addition to said hello!
My tertiary workshop was 'Guide to the H5N1 grade Reforms' yesteryear Katie Arundel from Brix Learning. I'm fairly familiar amongst the changes but I experience similar I demand to start focusing on H5N1 grade reforms a chip to a greater extent than instantly that some of the specifications possess got been accredited. We took a await at some of the novel H5N1 grade questions, in addition to my primary takeaway from this session was a amend agreement of how the 'large information set' materials volition function inwards practice. I establish out that Geogebra is much amend than Excel for drawing graphs (box plots inwards i click, apparently), which was intelligence to me - I idea that Geogebra was entirely for geometry. I also had a adept chat amongst instructor Shaun Hatton (@shaunh2357) who uses Brix's learning platform - this is an online homework bundle for H5N1 grade students. He spoke really positively virtually it in addition to it does audio similar something I'd consider for my H5N1 grade classes adjacent year, depending on cost.
In the concluding session Lucy Rycroft-Smith (@honeypisquared) from Cambridge Mathematics stepped inwards at the finally infinitesimal to run a workshop on research. Because it was a like shooting fish in a barrel improver to the programme nosotros were a pocket-size grouping - only about fifteen of us - which was lovely because nosotros all got to innovate ourselves in addition to bring together inwards the discussion. There was a actually interesting attain of experience inwards the room, including both primary in addition to secondary specialists. It made me realise how various attendees of La Salle's conferences are. Lucy's session was virtually the importance of - in addition to barriers to - using enquiry inwards teaching. We had a await at her Espressos inwards which she succinctly summarises recent enquiry that's relevant to maths teachers - these are definitely worth a look. There's some actually interesting function beingness done on curriculum yesteryear the squad at Cambridge in addition to I await frontward to hearing to a greater extent than from them over the coming years.
I was pleased amongst the adept mix of workshops I attended - i on bailiwick knowledge, i on GCSE, i on H5N1 grade in addition to i on research. I got a lot out of the day.
I ever actually bask chatting to maths teachers at conferences. It's wonderful to hold upwards reminded that we're purpose of a huge maths didactics community that reaches thence much farther than the teachers I speak to on Twitter every day. Common themes of give-and-take at this conference were the challenges of deportment (which is unacceptably bad inwards thence many schools... what's going on inwards this country...?), the upcoming GCSE, in addition to the changes to H5N1 level.
I know I state this every time, but I can't hold back for the adjacent conference! Conveniently for me, it's inwards London on 24th June. Saying that, I'm ever happy to move for these conferences in addition to am also looking frontward to the Sheffield conference on 30th September, in addition to perchance the Cardiff in addition to Dunfermline conferences too. We're really fortunate that La Salle run such high quality, accessible in addition to affordable events for maths teachers throughout the year.
If you lot desire to acquaint at i of the 4 upcoming conferences, La Salle are taking workshop proposals here.
