This afternoon I made it to Ross High School to visit Tracey and the rest of the department. As ever, I was made to feel very welcome, and was again struck by the skill and professionalism of my maths colleagues.
I chatted to Tracey about the November 3rd meeting of maths teachers at Ross, which is going to be an opportunity to share our experiences using the board in groups. I suggested that groups should post summaries onto a wiki as they went along. So we went ahead and set one up, which you can see
here.
Later I saw Tim Schmitz using Google Maps do introduce work on distances, and then at the end of his lesson playing Tetris ™ on his board with the class (lots of hands on for the pupils) - inspiring stuff! I also popped in to see my old mate Alan Cox for a few minutes, before a brief appearance at the DM.
