This special edition of the Tips for Teachers podcast comes live from Manchester Piccadilly station following MathsConf30. Jo Morgan and I discuss our takeaways from the workshops we saw, including:
Jo:
Assess pre-requisites
Use a variety of techniques for differentiation
Plan a curriculum suitable for the group you’re teaching
Explore boundary examples to deepen understanding of a concept
Pay attention to how students write their answers (we need a reciprocal symbol!).
Craig:
Make sure students are good at units
Don't forget the old classics
Adapt off-the-shelf resources
Make use of the power of interweaving
Interweave out by using questions that all have the same underlying concept
