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.

Welcome to the Maths White Board project store; a collection of time saving resources for all Maths teachers.

All projects listed below are completely FREE for educational use (unless login details are required).

--- PROJECT STORE ---

Teaching tools

Lesson curator

Take the best bits from the site and make a lesson in mins

Term Planner

Organise the site resources into an easy to use planner

Starters and games

Assessment tools

Vocabulary based activities

Video tutorials

2 min Tuesday tutorials

--- KEY THINGS TO KNOW ---

Every aspect of the Maths White Board site is built around 3 things:

Differentiated challenge

Each topic area has been broken up into roughly 6 differentiated concepts to facilitate a greater level of support or challenge for a learner.

Beautifully scaffolded

Each topic has been structured in such a way to lead a user through a desirable teaching sequence or learning journey.

Endless questions

The site has been built with a topic bank at it's core not a question bank. The main aim is for you to never encounter the same question twice.

--- SHAPED BY RESEARCH ---

Below are 3 activities contained in the Maths White Board site born out of research:

Mini White Board activity

A powerful tool to support the use of mini whiteboards during classroom assessment. This part of the website produces a question for a specific topic and displays it full screen for clear viewing. Whilst using this tool, you have access to each of the differentiated levels (stars) and the answers are available for each question providing ease of use. You can generate new questions (but with different numbers) at any level with a simple click of a levelled button. No longer are you limited by the number of questions in an exercise to assess students whilst also being driven to master a specific skill. This tool is available under the main menu of the software and titled "Mini WB".

Recall White Board

Ideal for recapping on the full breadth of a specific skill (starters/revision). The site will produce a question at each of the differentiated levels and arrange them on screen for students to complete. You can then model the appropriate method before selecting the question to reveal the answer. If another question at the same level is required, select the refresh button to generate a new question but with different numbers. Endless opportunities to revise all aspects of a key topic skill over a sequence of lessons. This tool is available under the main menu of the software and titled "Recall WB".

Secure White Board

In order for techniques to be cemented into long term memory, sometimes we need to just give students a few similar questions for them to learn routines. The idea behind this aspect of the site is for students to practice so they learn not to make mistakes. The site will produce 6 questions at any chosen differentiated level and arrange them on screen. Not only will this tool help students to become familiar with techniques, it will also reduce the cost of printing unnecessary 1 time worksheets for classroom based activities. This tool is available under a selected and levelled MWB activity and titled "Secure WB".

Menger Sponge

Fractals are mathematical objects built from repeated copies of themselves. Create a fractal sculpture from business cards. Start by making single cubes, and then assemble them into a sculpture representing a Menger Sponge. Then use our cladding to make it look like a higher-level Menger Sponge. Maths Craft have also made some instructional videos on building a Menger sponge.

Are you a New Zealand maths teacher?

Want to build a Menger sponge in your maths class? Maths Craft in a Box is an entirely free, self-contained box dedicated to exploring the fascinating world of fractals in the classroom. Sign up to be notified about the next release.

Möbius Strips

A Möbius strip is a surprising object; it's a surface with only one edge and one side. Start with our instructions for making and investigating paper Möbius strips. You can even make entwined Möbius hearts.

Learn About Numbers

See that numbers behave the same, whether they are 1, 2, 3, or 10, 20, 30, or 0.01, 0.02, 0.03.

Learn about decimals:

Zoom in and look at: 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, ...

Then ask: what is 0.9 + 0.1 ?

Do the same after zooming in further:

What is 0.09 + 0.01?

What is 0.19 + 0.01?

What is 0.99 + 0.01?

You can see how decimal place values work and get a feel for "infinite" sub-divisibility (but this tool gets into trouble around 30 decimal places).

Using

Click on number line to zoom in, shift-click to zoom out. It will zoom from where you click.

Click at left or right to scroll.

Or you can use your keyboard's arrow keys.
Up/down to zoom, left/right to move.

Try this:

Use the "right" key, you will see the counting numbers whizz past.

Stop when you reach 100.

Go back to zero (press the reset button).

Zoom in to show 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...

Now try tracking right. The tenths whizz by.

How long does it take to reach 100 now?

Try zooming in to 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, ...

How long does it take to track across to 100 now (if you have the patience!) ?

How much better to realise that you can zoom out a level and go up in tens. Then you can zoom in so that you are at 100.00

Test yourself. Start at 0. Use the zoom and left/right to find these numbers:

Race To 100.00357

Challenge your friends! Start at 0 (press the '0' button), then see how fast you can get to 100.00357 (you must see that number on the screen).

Least Moves

How many moves does it take to find a number?

Not against the clock but by counting the number of moves you make.

Use just the arrow keys and try to find the least number of key-presses to reach a number

(Note: A count of your keystrokes is in the bottom corner.)

How many moves does it take you to reach:

If you've arrived at this page looking for activities that will help you to develop your mathematical thinking skills, you may be interested in our new Thinking Mathematically Collection.

Are you a student who likes to think about mathematical problems?

Why not test and develop your skills with this special selection of NRICH problems? They have been chosen because they only make use of simple mathematical concepts (the sort encountered as some point early in Stage 3): the emphasis is on the thinking rather than the knowledge.

Why not print out the table and tick off the problems you have solved? Will you be able to crack them all? Don't forget, if you get stuck you can look at the Hint or Solution at the top of each problem.

Happy solving!
