Just caught up with ResourceFULL #2. Truly fantastic episode - I love the open middle problems, just the type I love to do with my class and see them so determined to find an answer (or the closest they can!)
This discussion was absolutely fantastic. Open Middle problems are such an excellent demonstration that gaining fluency through practice and gaining understanding through problem solving need not be opposed to one another. Working through the problems myself is also great fun!
Another brilliant session with Tom Manners & Robert Kaplinsky. Open middle problems are the future. Can't wait to introduce more doK questions to students. Inspired as always. Thank you.
A great interview from @mannermatics and @robertkaplinsky Truly inspiring and though provoking. Roberts websiteopenmiddle.com is a fantastic resource bank that is going to really help me with my GCSE re-sit students.
Thanks @Mannermatics, @MrMatlock, @ashtonC94 and MissJK24319629 for a really interesting CPD session this morning. Lots to think about! And looking forward to sharing some of the MSL questions with my pupils in due course
Loving the ideas shared on #ResourceFULL, plenty of ideas buzzing in my head for when I start in my school!! #maths #teaching @ashtonC94 @MissJK24319629 @MrMtlock along with all the other educators sharing their ideas
