Cognitive Load and Problem Solving – The World Is Maths
https://jemmaths.wordpress.com/2016/06/28/cognitive-load-and-problem-solving
The World Is Maths. Cognitive Load and Problem Solving. I was asked recently to deliver a training session for two maths departments on the topic of problem solving.

Why Don’t Students Like School? You mean that’s just me? This is a problem because the child is...

A Plague On Both Your Houses! (Or ‘Why I Don’t Like Observations and Lesson Plans’) – The World Is Maths
https://jemmaths.wordpress.com/2016/07/12/a-plague-on-both-your-houses-or-why-i-dont-like-observations-and-lesson-plans
The World Is Maths. A Plague On Both Your Houses! Or ‘Why I Don’t Like Observations and Lesson Plans’). The thing is, this doesn’t really help anybody:. If shared with students, ALL/MOST/SOME objectives give anyone feeling lazy opportunity to opt out. If not shared with students it still means you expect the best bits to only be accessed by a few. What a shame. Describing every activity is a box-tick: it takes you a silly amount of time and lets the observer read what they might otherwise, erm, observe.

https://jemmaths.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/adventures-in-mastery-2-writing-a-scheme-of-work
The World Is Maths. Adventures in Mastery 2: Writing a Scheme of Work. This is post 2 in a series. In post 1. I discussed why we’re beginning a mastery scheme of work, some of my initial objections, and a brief description of “mastery” in its current incarnation. In this post I will describe the process that produced my scheme of work, and share the working draft of the scheme itself. Some Background Reading and Underlying Principles. The initial reading that got me thinking the most was from Bruno Reddy.

A teaching and learning inventory. Assessment and Marking Ideas.

Pupils books look something like this – we do this every 2 weeks or so. Attached is ppt. resource. Marking Crib Sheet ppt. Marking Crib Sheet V2. April 8, 2016.
