Introductions

Who are you? Where and when were you

trained? Which school do you work in? What type is it? What teaching groups do you

The 24 game

The 24 game – two spot

The 24 game – three spot

Activity: Design Your Own

Devise three 24 game cards: one each of one, two and three spots.

Explain how you decide on the difficulty level.

How could you devise an algorithm e.g. a software program to generate further sets at different (spot) levels

The five Part Lesson

Starter Activity Exposition Practice Summary

AnonymousLike the crest of a peacock so is mathematics at the head of all knowledge.[An old Indian saying. Also, “The Crest of the Peacock" is the title of a book by G.G. Joseph]

Bell, Eric Temple (1883-1960)Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality, and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things, creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.

Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiousity of inquiry.In H. Eves Return to Mathematical Circles, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1988.

What’s the Story?

What is mathematics about? What is it for? Is it useful?

What is a square?

Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.In J. R. Newman (ed.) The World of Mathematics, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1956.

Marking and other forms of Assessment

Why do you mark students work? When do you do it? When do you feedback the outcome How do you do that? What does it mean?

To you To them

What effect does it have? How about other assessments?

Marking

Shared and consistent mechanisms

Shallow marking Tick marking Mechanical development

Deep marking Personal feedback Skills development

Assessment

Regular Consistent with external

assessments Consistent with schemes of

work Tracking and predicting

Notes and Examples

(Year 7) What I can do with an example from the exercise

(Year 8) What I can do with my own example

(Year 9) What I can do and how it works with extended examples

(Year 10) What I can do and why it works with annotated exemplification

(Year 11) What I can do and here’s a proof

Notes and Examples

Supported with writing frames In this lesson I learned how to ....... An example: ......

Part of the assessment: deep marking

Writing up time: proper revision Open book tests: (but closed end of

year) Individual and group presentations

What is a Square?

Kasner, E. and Newman, J.Mathematics is the science which uses easy words for hard ideas.Mathematics and the Imagination, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1940.

Talking Maths

Gauss, Karl Friedrich (1777-1855)You know that I write slowly. This is chiefly because I am never satisfied until I have said as much as possible in a few words, and writing briefly takes far more time than writing at length.In G. Simmons Calculus Gems, New York: McGraw Hill inc., 1992.

Pascal, Blaise (1623-1662)Words differently arranged have a different meaning and meanings differently arranged have a different effect.W. H. Auden and L. Kronenberger (eds.) The Viking Book of Aphorisms, New York: Viking Press, 1966.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
