Twitter is a dissimilar identify similar a shot everyone's dorsum at school. During the 24-hour interval it's actually tranquillity because teachers are difficult at work, only inwards the eventide it comes hold upwards again. Despite beingness the kickoff calendar week of term, the Great Britain maths twitter chats (#mathscpdchat on Tuesdays as well as #mathschat on Wednesdays) were every bit busy every bit always - every bit park they gave me enough of inspiration.This calendar week every bit good saw the provide of instructor blogs. I actually taste reading reflections of what teachers accept been trying inwards their lessons, what went good as well as what didn't. These blogs are a fantastic source of ideas.
This 5th weekly gems transportation is (unintentionally) brought to you lot past times the missive of the alphabet P. It features patterns, puzzles, primes, projects, plenaries as well as posters.
1. Patterns as well as Puzzles
Sticking amongst visual maths, Denise Gaskins (@letsplaymath) shared a puzzle from the website 1001 Visual Puzzles. I explored this site as well as constitute that it's full of real odd as well as master puzzles. I every bit good learnt a footling virtually topology - what a bizarre branch of mathematics. Here's an trial of a topological puzzle (students would demand to cite to a map of South America for this):
Primes are actually interesting, aren't they? I've seen to a greater extent than or less peachy materials on primes this week.
Richard Green (@edfromo) is a mathematician who posts regularly on Google+. He writes actually interesting things virtually a broad arrive at of mathematical topics. He frequently features animations which you'll know I'm a fan of if you lot read my transportation virtually animations as well as simulations. For trial this is a real clear explanation of Mersenne primes as well as perfect numbers.

If you're thinking of doing something on primes amongst your students, @the_chalkface shared this splendid true or fake activity which students volition detect interesting as well as stretching.
I every bit good similar this action 'Further Factor Properties' from @TeachitMaths, mainly because it involves sexy primes as well as I'm a chip young similar that.

4. Projects
I've never take in of textbook redesign before, only it could hold upwards a actually adept mini-project at the halt of a topic. On blog post virtually a successful lesson inwards which her students were actually engaged inwards exploring these sequences.

Richard Green (@edfromo) is a mathematician who posts regularly on Google+. He writes actually interesting things virtually a broad arrive at of mathematical topics. He frequently features animations which you'll know I'm a fan of if you lot read my transportation virtually Pythagoras' Theorem as well as added a topic specials page as well as thus you lot tin chop-chop detect similar posts. I every bit good had a rant virtually student targets inwards which I questioned whether they are effective or fifty-fifty necessary. After Ed Southall (@edsouthall) shared these awesome wall decals, I updated my mathsy gifts page. I've every bit good added a brace to a greater extent than homeworks to the Pret homeworks page.
How adept are you lot at drawing lines of best fit? Test yourself here (thanks to @MARitchings) - fun for teachers as well as every bit good a useful lesson resource.
Finally - look, blog post virtually a successful lesson inwards which her students were actually engaged inwards exploring these sequences.
