With my first Core Maths assessment approaching, I’ve created a dedicated FileHub folder containing links to @mathscopilot.bsky.social tutorials. Students have everything they need in one place to support their revision. 📚 FileHub is included in your subscription: filehub.examprecision.com

I’m redesigning parts of the site to work better across different devices. This morning: Card Flip and Wheel of Reward. Both are great for encouraging mini whiteboard participation and you can now customise the rewards too! 🎯 mathswhiteboard.com#startersrevi... #maths #iteachmaths

Remember the old KS2 maths audio tests? 🎧 The ones where pupils had to listen carefully, process the info and work things out independently? That’s the thinking behind the Level Up audio questions on Maths White Board. mathswhiteboard.com/levelup/audi... #maths #iteachmaths

Morse code was developed in the 1830-40s by Morse, Vail & Gale as part of the development of the electric telegraph. Inspired by this and Bletchley Park’s work bringing it to pupils through school visits, I made this fun starter tool! 👇 mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/morsecod... #Maths #STEM

A typical QLA means entering 1,000–1,500 data points. Doing that manually takes forever. When students lost mobile access, we thought we’d have to do it ourselves. Proud of the department’s “WOW!” moment on Tuesday showcasing this feature in @examprecision.bsky.social

A classroom full of silence isn’t necessarily a classroom full of disengagement. Sometimes students need time to process, connect ideas and decide what they think. The temptation is to rescue them too quickly.

More Completion Table generators are now live! I’ve written them all, but it's taking time to review each one to make sure the challenge is right before releasing them. Added a print function too. 🖨️ Find them under the MWB on the homepage: ⁠https://mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/home?update=Sept2026

An important part of teaching a new concept is giving students a reason to adapt what they already know. Don’t just introduce something new. Create the need for it. Sometimes, one subtle twist to a familiar idea is all it takes to create genuine buy-in. 🧠 #MathsToday #maths #iteachmaths

Super proud of how this is coming together. 🙌 I originally built the tracker for Art to replicate the work we’ve been doing in Maths. It’s now becoming something much bigger. This is going to be transformational in how we collect, analyse and use assessment data.

VP for Data told us to focus more on “marks, not grades.” Tell a kid they need to move up a grade can make the gap feel Herculean. Tell them they need 3 marks and exactly how to find them, suddenly that first step feels achievable. @ExamPrecision updated for all subjects. 🚀

Training Day 1 of 2 — and my headteacher gave us the perfect analogy for the incredible work we’ve done to support our most challenging students this year: 🔑 Give them the keys to open as many doors as possible. A really insightful day. Lots of website updates inbound… 👀

This year, I’m aiming to develop Aether into a truly powerful tool that will save me countless hours reviewing student scripts. I’ll start by using it to support the marking of scripts from our Level Up numeracy programme and worksheets, before extending its capabilities to review full exam papers.

In #MathsToday with Y7, we explored our favourite puddings 😋 mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/frayerbu... Using the Frayer Model was a great way to introduce the concept, encouraging rich discussion and helping students identify real-life examples that don’t always fit the pattern. #iteachmaths #maths

Flipped the script with Y9 in #MathsToday. Instead of the “perfect example” I usually model, I asked them to draw the worst scatter graph possible that went against everything I’d taught in lesson 1. They went hard 😂. Great discussion points! #maths #iteachmaths #mathscpd
