Questions:

1. Which methods leads most seamlessly to area scale factors and volume scale factors?

2. Is there an argument for method 2 being helpful to practice algebraic manipulation?

3. Imagine you had a scenario in which there was a missing length on both similar shapes. Which method might be least confusing in this case?

4. Which method connects most effectively to scientific concepts learnt in school regarding scaling things up or down - i.e. Antman is made 100 times smaller in length. How will this affect the strength of his muscles?

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:

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:

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.

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:

Ski Slope Learning

What is Ski Slope Learning and why use it? Every student learns at different rates and has different strengths. Ski slope learning allows for students to get to the same end result from different starting points.

If you think about ski slopes there are several different degrees of difficulty, with green being the easiest and black being the hardest, however no matter which route you take you always get to the bottom of the slope. Applying this method to a structured lesson environment allows pupils to work at their own individual paces and has differentiated routes to ensure all pupils achieve the learning objective. The ski slope method also provides opportunity for pupils to work independently and allows for rapid progressions.

When it comes to the black slope, it's a place where you can challenge pupils to think outside of the box and apply the knowledge in new ways. This will help stretch and test the most able (G+T) students understanding and comprehension of a topic.

How to introduce Ski Slope Learning

There are two different ways in which I use Ski Slope Learning.

1. PowerPoint Method

The first is through power point. As you can see on the page before there is a list of columns where I break my questions up into the stepping stones to achieve the learning objective.

I allowed the pupils to decide their own route and starting point. However they needed to be in the red column at least by the end of the lesson. It is a good way to clearly show progress in lessons by levelling individual columns.

This took a while to train my classes not to do every question in each column and to also make sure pupils didn't deliberately try to avoid the harder questions. Once the pupils are trained, they are able to take responsibility for their own learning and progress at a pace personalised to their own learning.

2. Worksheet Method

For this second method I created a series of levelled worksheets for a given lesson, some I provide more structure and guidance than others. For example fill in the gap questions to begin with. This can easily be replicated in other subjects when looking at the amount of support you can give a pupil in writing structures.

For this method I don't always have four worksheets, for some classes only two is necessary while other more mixed ability classes' four sheets are necessary.

It is important to note that the difference in this method is that the routes are is pre planned out for the pupils. It allows the teacher to make sure all pupils are challenged appropriately. I try to pre plan who will receive which starting point work sheet before the start of the lesson, however this can often change depending on the success a student has made at the beginning of a lesson.

(If I am getting observed I will often print the different worksheet out on coloured paper to allow the differentiation and challenge to be clearly visible to an inspector.)

Overview

Our resources are organised into topics or stations on a map or tubemap showing the connections between them.

Watch this video or use the preceding menu to find out more.

The map

The mathematics has been organised along a system of tube lines, which reflect big themes that run through mathematics. The tubemap offers a way to navigate to resources for teaching a particular area of mathematics; resources can be accessed by clicking on a station name. Some stations are still in development and this is indicated by a construction symbol.

You can access the map at any time by clicking the Map button in the main menu.

Stations

Each station features an overarching question that could be used to stimulate curiosity. There are a number of key questions that summarise the ideas that arise in the resources. You can filter resources by selecting a key question. You can also filter resources by tube line, if you wish to choose a resource with a particular emphasis.

The resources that are available at each station may come under three headings. Resources that introduce new ideas relating to the station are in the "Introducing" section. "Developing" resources may build on these ideas or earlier work. "Review questions" are mostly drawn from past examination questions and have been chosen as ones that are interesting in nature and require non-routine thinking.

Resources

To help you find the resources you are looking for, we have classified them according to twelve resource types.

Resources are divided into sections. In some cases this may be a warm-up followed by a larger task, and others may have a problem followed by a suggestion of how to tackle it. Almost all resources contain a solution or a "Things you might have noticed" section. This may help you to think about questions you might ask students, to see areas where students could get stuck, or offer further insight into how you might use the resource in your classroom. Further support is offered in the teacher notes.

Pervasive ideas

By clicking on a pervasive idea you will find a description of how the idea arises within the resources. If pervasive ideas are highlighted in a resource they appear in the sidebar (or bottom-bar on a small screen) and in the list of resources at the station (on a wide screen).
What are pervasive ideas?
Search

Use the Search button in the top menu bar to open the search dialog.

You can search for resources by title, keywords or text within the resource. Review questions can be searched by question Ref. You can also search for pervasive ideas and mathematical processes such as visualising.

You can also browse all our material with filtering options by clicking the Browse button in the main menu.

Saving resources

You can save a resource for later by adding it to your resource collection. To do this click the star next to the resource title. Note you must log in or register to use this facility. To access your resource collection, click the User button in the top menu bar then Your resource collection.

Within your resource collection, you can organise your resources by creating ordered subcollections. To add a resource to a subcollection, click the add to subcollection icon in your resource collection table. To select a subcollection, use the drop-down list above the table. You can also generate a PDF of resources from a subcollection, which could be used to generate your own exam from our review questions, for example.

Bundles and more

The More menu in the top right contains links to the Underground hub, our About and contact page and the Your mathematical classroom section of the site.

Our About page contains a video explaining our philosophy.

The Your mathematical classroom area of the site is accessible from the More menu and has been coloured purple to distinguish it from the rest of the site, as well as having its own menu once inside this area. It contains support for using our resources in the classroom as well as professional development opportunities. This includes the Bundles page, which contains small collections of resources that have a particular focus or goal, our Resources in action page, which provides detailed teacher support for a handful of resources, our blog, upcoming and recorded webinars, a courses page, and information about our Champions programme.

NUMERACY GAPS, SORTED

Are gaps in basic mental numeracy skills holding your students back from making exceptional progress in mathematics?

Numeracy Ninjas is a numeracy programme for schools which supports learners in developing high levels of fluency with important numeracy skills that are prerequisites for success in the study of 11 - 16 mathematics.

Aimed at learners aged 9 - 13, Numeracy Ninjas is a quick, low-stakes in-lesson activity which is completed multiple times each week. The programme is based on cognitive science research findings and motivates learners through gamification principles.

Let Numeracy Ninjas close the numeracy gaps holding your students back from excelling in mathematics.

Happy Customers

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

DOUBLE the rate of progress

In a 2016 controlled trial experiment at a large mainstream comprehensive school in the UK involving 430 students, those who participated in the Numeracy Ninjas programme for one academic year achieved on average, double the rate of progress over the students in the control group, as measured on a diagnostic numeracy assessment taken at the start and end of the year.

Mr D. Davies
Teacher of Mathematics

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Hi, my name is Mr Davies, and I teach high school mathematics in the North West of England.

I decided to create 'Maths Teacher Hub' to allow me to differentiate work in class for students of all abilities.

Having multiple copies of questions available, along with the answers has allowed me to free up time inside and outside of the classroom. I very rarely spend time photocopying worksheets any more, and students can mark their own work.

Starter exercises are a big part of my teaching practice. Building a strong routine at the beginning of every lesson allows students to feel comfortable and confident.

I really hope you find my content useful, let me know if there is anything you would like me to add via the contact form.

In this area you will find revision guides for Foundation (Grade 1-3), Crossover (Grade 4-5) and Higher (Grade 6-9).

These are collections of my notes jotters, grouped together by topic and grade. They can be printed as booklets so students can take them home, scan the QR code from the sheet and watch the video on the topic whilst filling them in.

I've also included a suggestion of how they can be best used by students for revision on the back cover.
