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:

Supporting this website

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:

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this - now go and enjoy the site!

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:
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jessesteward

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

Kind regards,

Jess

A new school year and it is time to start preparing for the summer GCSE's. What better way that to use my tiered revision calendars?

I started these as a response to a desperate need for our then current Year 11s to have some real focus and direction for their mathematics revision leading up to their GCSE exams, I used an idea I'd seen initially on the excellent Just Maths site of a revision calendar. My thinking was, and still is, that the best way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics and long term revision should be about regular practice.

With this in mind I produced monthly revision calendars for both higher and foundation tier GCSE starting in September and running, each month, till April. Following feedback from colleagues and a successful trial, I added an extra calendar. It was felt that the foundation calendars were good for preparing those students who probably would do foundation but were on that higher/foundation border and were those looking at gaining a 5 or possibly a 4. These were generally felt to be too challenging for foundation candidates where a 5 (or even 4) maybe out of reach, hence the introduction of the foundation tier calendars which are aimed at students aspiring to a level 4.

HIGHER TIER - this will be useful for those students who definitely will be sitting the higher paper and who are working at grade 6 and above.

FOUNDATION PLUS TIER- useful for students on the higher / foundation boundary. There will be a proportion of questions each month which appear on both this and the higher calendar.

FOUNDATION TIER - useful for students aspiring to a level 4 which allows practice of basic mathematical skills.

As always, feedback would be very much welcomed. I will post the calendars each month on this page and also on my blog and highlight them on my twitter feed (@mrchadburn). As always the calendars are free for anyone to use.

As time permits I will put solutions up - as you can imagine they take a while to produce and I don't always have the time to do them straight away!!

ALL THE CALENDARS BELOW WERE DESIGNED FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2019/20 ... I'M WORKING ON AN HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO UPLOAD IN JULY A FULL SET OF CALENDARS FOR 2020/21 ... FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER (@MRCHADBURN) FOR UPDATES!!

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:

Broken Calculator 4

A challenge to produce the numbers from one to twenty on a calculator with some missing keys.

Click the keys on the calculator above to make the numbers 1 - 20. As you make each total your calculation will appear in the table on the right.

Make all twenty totals the earn a Transum Trophy.

Unlike a normal calculator, for this activity, you cannot use one total you have found to help make another. Each calculation starts from scratch (zero).

Try to make each total using the smallest number of calculator key presses.

Other broken calculators;
1 and 5 2 and 3 3 and 4 4 and 5 5 and 2 6 keys

There are solutions to this activity but they are only available to teachers who have subscribed to Class Admin.

Here is a blank Google Sheet (please make a copy) and a video of how to get access to whole class scores in one spreadsheet in real time.

This is useful either after the class has finished a Self Marking Sheet that is assigned on Google Classroom or it can also be used whilst the class is tackling the task. The spreadsheet will update automatically.

The script is unverified so when you run it you will have to show "Advanced" settings and accept the risk - sorry, not sure how to get it verified!

Briar Lipson is a research fellow at the New Zealand Initiative. Prior to this, Briar worked in think tanks, became a teacher and assistant principal and was involved in the Free School movement in England. In this episode, Briar talks to Greg Ashman about he newly released book, New Zealand's Education Delusion, and her thesis that child-centered teaching approaches have led to the decline in performance that New Zealand has suffered on international assessment such as PISA. Along the way, Briar and Greg discuss teacher training, the New Zealand curriculum and John Hattie's comments on her book. Briar's book is available for free on this link.

Doug Lemov has been a teacher, a school principal, a researcher, a writer and played many other roles in education in the U.S. He is perhaps best known internationally for his practical teaching guide, Teach Like a Champion (TLAC). In this episode, Doug talks to Greg Ashman about the genesis of TLAC, making content relevant to students, reading instruction and the importance of reading, Charter Schools, the tumultuous state of U.S. education debate and his efforts to help teachers maximise the potential of the remote learning that has been forced on them by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

E. D. Hirsch Jr. began his career as a literary theorist. As a result of this work, he became aware of the importance of background knowledge for reading comprehension. However, when he looked to the education system, he found knowledge was undervalued. Since then, he has worked to highlight the importance of knowledge though his numerous books, including the best-selling Cultural Literacy, and the Core Knowledge Foundation that he set-up to further these aims by developing the Core Knowledge Sequence, now used in many schools in the US and beyond. In this episode, Don talks to Greg Ashman about knowledge, education, the importance of a 'speech community' and commonality more generally, as well as his new book, How to Educate a Citizen.

Professor Dan Willingham is a psychologist at the University of Virginia. Dan started out as a cognitive psychology and neuroscience researcher, but an encounter with E. D. Hirsch Jr. led him to take an interest in the application of cognitive psychology to education. In this episode, Dan talks to Greg Ashman about his interest in education, his book, Why Don't Students Like School?, a new edition of which is in the pipeline, reading instruction and critical thinking.

I first came across the Open Middle problems after I read the Classroom Chef and jumped onto their links page (if you haven't heard or seen it before, check it out here: classroomchef.com/links). Just like the Which One Doesn't Belong Problems, I got pretty addicted to using these kind of problems to present challenging tasks to my students. Here are some that I have created myself:

Number: Fractions, Decimals & Percentages

Geometry

Logarithms

Arithmetic & Geometric Sequences

Linear Functions

Quadratics / Parabolas

Differentiation

Index Laws & Surds

Venn Diagram Rich Tasks

I began to see the huge potential for the use of Venn Diagrams as a rich task from my constant source of inspiration - the amazing Median Maths Blog, by Don Steward. He created a lovely Straight Line Graphs Venn Diagrams task that you can access here.

Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:
1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities
4) They are very quick to create and require no special resources
5) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
6) Students can create their own as an extension task

Give them a go, and if you or your pupils cannot resist the urge to create your own Venn Diagram tasks, please let me know

And a huge thank you to Erica Richards for helping create these activities. We both really hope you enjoy them.

Venn Diagram Rich Tasks on Mr Barton Maths

arrow_back Back to Rich Tasks Venn Diagram Rich Tasks I began to see the huge potential for the use of Venn Diagrams as a rich task from my constant source of inspiration - the amazing Median Maths Blog, by Don Steward. He created a lovely Straight Line Graphs Venn Diagrams task that you can access here.

There are problems and activities here that you can try at home.

The Assessment Tasks are a good place to start.

More notes on using the materials at home...

Bowland Maths aims to make maths engaging and relevant to pupils aged 11-14, with a focus on developing thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills. In these materials, the maths emerges naturally as pupils tackle problems set in a rich mixture of real-life and fantasy situations.

Assessment tasks
Bowland Maths includes a collection of over thirty 20-60 minute tasks with progression guides to support formative assessment of progress in mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

Classroom projects
At the core of Bowland Maths are 26 extended mathematical investigations called Case Studies. Each case study includes teaching materials to support 3-5 maths lessons. Many, but not all, include ICT activities.

Professional development
The Bowland materials demand different approaches to teaching, such as collaborative learning through discussion and reflection, self- and peer-assessment and the use of less structured tasks. These 7 video-based professional development modules help teachers explore these techniques.

Slow Reveal Graph is an instructional routine that promotes sensemaking about data. This highly engaging routine uses scaffolded visuals and discourse to help students (in K-12 and beyond) make sense of data. As more and more of the graph is revealed, students refine their interpretation and construct meaning, often in surprising ways.

Welcome to my latest resource - R^Infinity! Named by the superb @ailsacraig24 as she gave me the inspiration on this one!

So in April 2018 I shared a "Regular recall" starter template on twitter that I find very beneficial to give to my students on a regular basis. I am a huge fan of a mixed starter for which you can find huge banks of readily available for you - however I like to

personalise mine specifically

for my class.

You know better than anyone what your class do and do not know, what can be addressed through regular practice in starters, what you need to reteach, what they will need to practice as prior knowledge for an upcoming unit of work... So creating your own is really the best route to take.

However it can be time consuming and we can't then have a bank of

them to utilise either! Hence my new resource R^Infinity. I have created a bank of starter-appropriate questions that (highly dependant on the ability of your class) are skills students should become fluent in recalling. There is a guide below on how to use the resource and it is unfortunately no where near complete yet! Writing a question on every mathematical procedural skill is very time consuming but I will upload up to date versions on a regular basis

I hope you enjoy using this resource! If you have any suggestions for improvements please tweet them to me at @miss banksmaths

Happy teaching!

Now select the subtopic that you wish to assess

Paste the question and answer onto the homepage. Charge the 'line colour' to match when they learnt this skill. Then drag the answer into one of the boxes of the table. Then drag the answer over to page two and into the corresponding answer box.

I have included a scoring system of 1 point per question answered on what was learned last lesson, 2 points for last topic, 3 points for last term and 4 points for last year.

If you include 2 questions of each the maximum score will be 20 points.

Hopefully this encourages students to answer the questions that were taught longer ago.
