I would like to say how impressed with the quality of maths homework set by the staff of Diss High School.

One of my Y7 students was working on part 3 of this homework today. We decided to try to accurately measure the weight of a grain of rice, using only a set of electronic kitchen scales.
Of course, we had to do some division and then interpret the results on the calculator too.
​
...and no, I'm not going to tell you how many there were - other than, a grain of rice doesn't weigh very much at all! Why not carry out the investigation yourself - we could compare results!

I am delighted with how well my latest acquisition to help with learning the times tables has received.  A young man who is usually reluctant to work on his multiplication skills was very keen to keep going with this one.  The best part is that I can use it with students to work on their tables up to x14 as there are several different 'pitches'!

Yesterday, some new maths equipment arrived in the post and I was able to use it with a student to work on the properties of 3-D shapes.  We had a lot of fun, too!
