Problem Solving in Early Years Maths CPD Session!
This informative session offers Early Years practitioners a more in-depth understanding of how to employ problem-solving activities effectively in their classrooms. It is intended to be used in a short, introductory, information-sharing CPD environment, and took me about 45 minutes to deliver. The session is rooted in findings from educational research (links included) and goes through:
Exactly what constitutes problem-solving, and why it is so essential in the broader context of maths education;
Key ingredients for ensuring that problem-solving tasks are engaging and effective;
Some excellent model examples of problem-solving activities;
How to incorporate ‘incidental problem-solving’ into classrooms;
Useful links for resources and task ideas, and further reading.
I hope that you find it useful!

Pride and Prejudice - Elizabeth and Darcy's Relationship Graph Task!
This interesting task provides students with an opportunity to track Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship throughout 'Pride and Prejudice.'
Students first rate Elizabeth and Darcy's feelings for one another at different points in the text on a 1-10 scale, plotting their rating on the graph. They then justify the rating with an explanation and textual evidence, in the table beneath.
It's great for helping them to see how the relationship develops over the course of the text, and also offers a novel cross-curricular link with maths.
Shameless plug - if you like this resource, please take a look at my paid 'Pride and Prejudice' resources, available as single lessons or in the lesson bundle. Thanks!

Wimbledon Maths Puzzles!
These short and snappy puzzles are perfect for engaging all of the Wimbledon lovers in your class in a wide range of maths problems! Using real-life statistics from the official Wimbledon website, students approach a number of varied maths topics, whilst also gaining valuable information about their favourite players and the history of the tournament. I have used these resources with a number of KS2 and KS3 classes, and have always found that students find them extremely interesting and informative.
Some of the maths topics covered include: statistics, percentages, charts and graphs, data handling, averages, ratios, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, estimation and problem solving, critical thinking, and fractions. Some of the specific tasks involved include: working out the win ratios and percentages of top players, finding out how to reach the All-England Club from different locations, working out the best ticket combinations to buy at the ground, and comparing player performance over different tournaments.
There are 30 tasks in total, in which a number of men and women players are focused upon through varied activities. The tasks are also separated by difficulty into ‘Beginner’,‘Intermediate’, and ‘Difficult’ tasks (refer to the B, I, or D symbols in the top left of each activity).
