#10minwin - To-Do List Categories

Following our first NQT conference, we had a session on time-management, which I am frankly terrible at. I get carried away with making resources sometimes at the detriment of more important tasks! We were advised not only to set time limits for certain tasks, but to rank priority into 4 main groups (seen below).


Outcome - I am now much more productive!

Double-Sided Worksheets

Created an additional double-sided worksheet today for circle theorem and general angle revision - went down a treat!


Answers above, with double-sided worksheet (differentiated with hints on the back) found here.

#10minwin - Burger Questions

I have a number of students for whom the final answer is the only thing of importance. Whilst there is no arguing with the fact that accuracy of the final result is key, I wanted to emphasise the justification and explanation of methods.

After reading a post on sandwich questions and with a penchant for burgers, have started to create worksheets in this format.


Result: with the answer already given, students have no option but to show how to get from question to answer. It also had the added bonus of highlighting misconceptions, as if the correct answer wasn't reached, then the method couldn't be correct. Plus, minimal marking required!
