Talking with a new colleague today and they said, “I love maths, but I hated maths education.” And gosh I understand this deeply.

In case you're not yet familiar, the Planning Tool in the Maths Hub (funded by the Aus government and had some great brains working on it) lets you search topics according to year level and has teaching tips and links to new and existing activities www.mathematicshub.edu.au/planning-tool/

@davidkbutler.bsky.social has created a lovely game called Digit Disguises which practises algebraic and other mathematical thinking. He explains it and we play an example game at 35:30 into this podcast interview & there are links to more about the game in the description youtu.be/6XzDuPYSJ18?...

The Solve Me Mobile Puzzles are great for exercising both multiplicative and algebraic thinking. I use these in maths coaching with Year 6+ students. We do about 10 in each session as warm up or warm down. When you input an error the Mobile goes out of balance, see pic solveme.edc.org/mobiles

It’s me! I assign it for my pre-service teachers to listen to and reflect on.

Hello old and new friends! I finally made it to the greener pasture. Lovely to see you 🙏🏼 Are there any tips/insights you have about the place? Are we 'skeeting' now? I'll mostly engage in posts education, inc & not limited to #maths. I'm a formerly maths anxious, now maths excitable, teacher 🙂

It was wonderful to hear that this conversation from last year has become a curriculum resource for pre-service maths teachers in at least 1 university. Dr David Butler shares practical insights and strategies for teaching maths at all ages & levels See Ep 1 here: mathsplay.org/podcasts/
