Lots of great info & I really like the layout & presentation. Excellent - keep it up.
Just trying my first attempt at replying - site fantastic - thanks Ross!
The mathscasts are great, especially the kid's ones. Do we have programmes that can our kids could use to do similar things? Would be a unique way of doing assessment - the kids could make a short mathscast demonstrating their knowledge of how to solve specific types of problems!
Great blog. Congratulations and thank you. Fantastic resources - and I'm not even a teacher! Article on risk aversion in PE (no running because it's too dangerous ...)is salutary stuff - lucky we don't have the litigious environment the U.S. has, but maybe having too PC an environment is bad enough! Mathscasts is awesome - thanks for identifying it. Looking forward to revisiting - often. Thanks again.
