I'm pretty excited about this TOT because there are some really fantastic resources to share.

Firstly, the resource ‘Hook, Line, Sinker' by @MrJohnRowe. John has brought together a wonderful collection of fantastic resources from a whole host of places, and organised them under topics for teachers to use. I provide much more detail below, please check it out.

T2 is a great (and concise) paper on problem solving in maths. Not to be missed.

T3 is an excerpt from a paper that I found very interesting (though it was from a small sample, wouldn't take the findings as gospel)

I'll let the titles of T4 to 7 speak for themselves.

T8 is a nice demonstration of a teacher being open to a student running an experiment in their classroom!

T9 to 13 can speak for themselves too.

T14 is some snippets from a book that I read for the upcoming ERRR podcast (the one after next, to be released May 1st), The Writing Revolution. This book was fantastic and gave me a much better understanding of how writing can be taught. Loved it!

T15, 16, and 17 are a resource/just for fun, but I think well worth having a squiz at.

Enjoy : )

Hook , Line, Sinker. A maths teaching resource from @MrJohnRowe

ATTENTION ALL MATHS TEACHERS! I must commend @MrJohnRowe for his generous creation of an exquisite maths teaching resource! His free ebook, ‘Hook, Line and Sinker' includes: a one pager of quality resources for the topics of trig (see image), linear algebra, indices (1/5)

quadratics, probability, and sequences & series; A concise page on planning a conceptual approach in the classroom; (2/5)
And links to a whole host of additional fantastic resource collections (this image is just a sample of what he's shared). (3/5)
I also really like this page, a collection of explanations from other educators who have changed the way that @MrJohnRowe thinks about various maths topics. (4/5)

This is definitely going to be one of the first places I go when teaching new topics in future. Thanks for sharing @MrJohnRowe ! Here's the link: https://mrrowe.com/book/

A wonderful summary of key things that maths teachers should know about mathematical problem solving, via @colinfoster77

Here are some of the things that I’ve learnt about mathematical problem solving over the past few years: 1. Fluency in facts, procedures & concepts act as a foundation for problem solving,

2. One main point of consistently asking students the same questions, in order to prompt their thinking, is that they then internalise these these questions and they become part of the students’ natural metacognitive processes whilst problem solving.
3. Heuristics like ‘solve a simpler problem first’ describe well what an expert problem solver does, but give little guidance to a novice.
Helpfully, @colinfoster77 summarises and expands upon these 3 points, and adds several more incredible insights in what is the most concise (2.5 pages) summary of the research on maths problem solving that I’ve seen. This is a must read!

This would be a perfect reading to spark discussion, or design a problem solving program, within a maths department. Link: atm.org.uk/write/MediaUpl… Thanks to @mrbartonmaths for the heads up on this one. @mic_epstein, you’ll love this for your upcoming workshop.
