SSDD another Barton website great for GCSE revision

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SSDD stands for Same Surface, Different Depth. They are a special set of problems that may look the same at first glance, but require different mathematical ideas to solve them.

SSDD Problems have become one of my key strategies to use with my students to help them become better problem solvers.

You can search for different topics using the tags on the right-hand side (or below if using a mobile device), and you can find out more about SSDD Problems on this page.

My books

I have written two books about my use of these types of activities.

My 2020 book, Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain: Sequences and behaviour to enable mathematical thinking in the classroom, goes into detail about making the most of these activities in the classroom. You can order the book from Amazon, John Catt, or wherever you get your books.

My 2023 book, Tips for Teachers: 400+ ideas to improve your teaching, details my most recent thoughts on using SSDD Problems effectively. You can order the book from Amazon, John Catt, or wherever you get your books.

My online courses

I have an online course store which offers low-cost, high-quality CPD on-demand. Each course contains short videos, resources, research, activities and questions to reflect upon. The courses most suited to the questions on the SSDD Problems website are:

I do not make any money from this website, so if you did want to support its future development - and hopefully learn more about the pedagogy underpinning these ideas - then I would be so grateful if you would consider:

Practice and best guess predicted papers for GCSE Maths, expanding to the new GCSE soon.

It's important to note that any predicted paper from any website is logical and systematic guess work at best and may not be the topics which come up on the actual exam. However, teachers have used their judgement in creating these papers from previous 'typical' topics and also through the process of elimination from paper 1. This is not to say if a topic came up on paper 1 that it can't come up on paper 2 in a different form.

For example standard form was presented as a compare on paper 1 2018 AQA. This doesn't mean it won't appear on paper 2. You may be asked to carry out a calculation

Wow, what an amazing weekend! The La Salle Education maths team excelled themselves again. Thank you to @LaSalleEd team and Mark (@EmathsUK) for another amazing conference #mathsconf13.

Rob Smith (@RJS2212) deserves a special thanks as well for his dedication to selling raffle tickets and also the amazing tuck shop!

The conference raised a £2000 for Macmillan Cancer today, thanks to the donations of all attendees and a significant donation to round the sum up by Mark.

400 maths teachers gathered on a Saturday morning ready for the maths conference to begin. As usual you could feel the excitement in the room. This time though there was a palpable buzz as people waited for Matt Parker (@Standupmaths) to take the stage.

Starting teaching or moving schools can be both exciting and daunting to begin with. It's a world filled with lots of unknowns that can make us feel both apprehensive and nervous.

There are several key factors that can make this a stressful situation;

not knowing your way around

not knowing your colleagues

not being embedded yourself as a teacher

having a lack of personal space or classroom

having to learn the new systems of a school

All of these factors are common to any teacher who is new to school, even if they have been teaching over 20 years. Knowing these feelings aren't isolated to only yourself is important. The excitement and apprehension of a new role can be an interest mix.

Here are my top tips on how to manage the stress of the unknowns.

The NQT year for any new teacher can be rather daunting. It's a weird scenario to be in. You are qualified in terms of passing your training but you still have to pass the year in order to be a fully qualified teacher. It is a sort of limbo. I remember getting to my RQT year and not feeling much different to my NQT year, apart from I now had a piece of paper saying I was a fully qualified teacher. 4 years later I'm slowly starting to not feel like a teacher fraud anymore. It's weird, you don't suddenly wake up one day and feel like a teacher. I'm learning everyday in the profession and I'm a great believer that is the way it should always be.

Your NQT year can be more intimidating than most for many reasons, such as:

Finally being let loose and trusted with your own classes on your own

Teaching lots more students as your timetable has significantly increased

You don't know the names of the memebers of your department let alone the students

This lists only a few things.

So here are my top 5 tips:

This is the first in a series of blogs I'm going to be publishing this week to help support teachers who have new jobs. The first is one of the most important articles, as this is about how current teachers can support those teachers who are either training, starting their NQT year or moving schools.

The majority of schools this year across the country have new members of staff joining the ranks. Some will be experienced teachers and teaching assistants who are moving jobs and others will be newer to the profession such as trainee teachers and NQTs. As colleagues to these new members of staff we have a vital role to play. People are often very excited and dare I say vulnerable when they start a new post. It's a time in which we can have a big impact. It's important we help and support our new colleagues get off to a good start.

How might we do this? I think it's important to say some of these ideas below will be nothing new. However it doesn't hurt to have a reminder; You never know what little thing you might miss. Every small thing adds up tp make a difference to your new colleagues experience in the first few days. Try to remember how you felt on your first day and in your first week.

This website is my attempt to assemble a collection of high-quality, sequences of questions and examples using key principles from Variation Theory. By holding key features between questions and examples constant, together with the mathematical behaviour that I call Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain and the supporting role of the teacher, I believe we can help students better understand key mathematical ideas.

You can find out more about the site and the different types of sequences available by visiting the Introduction.

You can access all the sequences of questions and examples from the Topics menu above.

My 2020 book, Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain: Sequences and behaviour to enable mathematical thinking in the classroom, goes into detail about making the most of these activities in the classroom. You can order the book from Amazon, John Catt, or wherever you get your books.

My 2023 book, Tips for Teachers: 400+ ideas to improve your teaching, details my most recent thoughts on using these sequences effectively. You can order the book from Amazon, John Catt, or wherever you get your books.

I have an online course store which offers low-cost, high-quality CPD on-demand. Each course contains short videos, resources, research, activities and questions to reflect upon. The courses most suited to the sequencers on the Variation Theory website are:

A 156 page compilation of STEP, AEA (Advanced Extension Award) and MAT (Maths Aptitude Test) questions aligned to chapters within the new A Level (2017).

What is your school doing for the new A Level?

As you are likely aware, from September 2017, all exam boards will be adopting the new A Level for Maths and Further Mathematics. For those doing single Mathematics, across the two years, students will have three exam papers: Pure Mathematics 1, Pure Mathematics 2 and Statistics & Mechanics. My school will not be doing the AS, and thus all papers are taken at the end of Year 13.

My school will be using Edexcel, and we already have copies of the Pearson textbooks for each student. For Further Maths, we will be doing the full normal maths A Level within the first year, thus covering Pure 1, Pure 2 and Statistics/Mechanics. We have not yet decided on exact combinations of options for Further Mathematicians in Year 13, but this will likely feature combinations of FP1, Further Statistics and Further Mechanics (although FP2 and Further Advanced Mechanics may be thrown in the mix depending on number of classes and student demand).

For both Single Maths and Further Maths, there will be two teachers teaching each Year 12 A Level class. The structure of the first year for each teacher will be as follows: (provisional and subject to change)

This ensures that students are exposed to Core/Pure material throughout the year. We will be planning the second year at a later date.

GCSE Maths Takeaway

The following resources are ideal for your GCSE Maths Revision. Anything with a * next to it represents content that is brand new to GCSE Maths for the 2017 exams. Here is a suggestion for how you might use these resources:

1. Choose a topic you think you need to practice

2. Print out the worksheet of exam questions, or just grab a piece of paper, and try as many of the questions as you can

3. If you are struggling, watch the video

4. Now return to the worksheet to see if you can fill in some more gaps

5. When you have done all you can, look at the answers and mark your work

6. Then try the Diagnostic Questions Quiz on the topic, trying to explain each answer

7. When you have finished the Quiz, click Review Answers and read through other students' explanations for any questions you got wrong until you find one that makes sense to you

8. Repeat this cycle as many times as you need until you are happy with the topic

A big thank you to the wonderful KESH Maths, CorbettMaths, Maths Genie and MathedUp blog for some of the links.

"No time to plan? Too busy to be creative? These books fulfil the dreams of busy teachers who need to teach core curriculum topics in ways which stimulate, excite and challenge all their students. Every idea in these books encourages mathematical thinking, deep understanding, and learning key mathematical ideas. Colin Foster has collected a wide range of tried-and-tested tasks and contexts to teach core curriculum topics and organised them to be accessible for quick planning. Indispensable!"

Unfortunately, my father Don Steward passed away from Covid-19 on 3rd May 2020.

Throughout his working life he was passionate about improving the teaching of mathematics and has requested that all of his work remains freely available.

As per his wishes, I have uploaded all of his work to this Blog in the pages section which contains links to google drive where slides and presentations can be downloaded for free.

Don has also requested that those who use his work make a discretionary donation to charities supporting education in Africa.

We have set up a Justgiving fundraising page to support this wish below:

Many thanks for all of the kind messages we have received which are of great comfort to myself and the family.

Kind regards,

Jess
