Last newsletter there was an item "Same Stats, Different Graphs". Here is an interactive version by Ken Wessen at his incredible web-site, The Mathenæum. This activity uses 3 sets of values from Anscombe's Quartet and supports student experimentation using their own data.
For NSW teachers. Stuart Palmer, Mathematics Education Consultant, is surveying high school mathematics teachers about some issues regarding assessment of learning:
use of technology in HSC Examinations
use of pre-prepared notes/summaries in high-stakes assessment
use of non-traditional assessment in your school
It will only take a few minutes to complete this survey.
What gets you excited about teaching mathematics? We talk about student engagement all the time, but how important is teacher engagement? Another great article from Dr Catherine Attard.
Have you made an original resource for maths teaching that you could share? The simplest resource may be just the thing another teacher was looking for. Share on MathsFaculty.
