Mathsville is Live!

Welcome to Mathsville.  As many of my followers know, I am continually impressed by maths.  Through my teaching I am always discovering new patterns and relationships I did not realise existed.  Also, through the influence of my students I am introduced to new methods and approaches to topics.  The beauty of maths is that there are many different ways to get to an end point.  As an incredibly intelligent student once pointed out, there is more than one road to Sainsbury´s and there are often many ways to get to the end result.  I am inspired by how creative and complicated the subject is and I thought it would be nice to have a place to share my discoveries and to help past and present students with their work and discoveries.  Finally, I want this to be a place where you can improve your math practice.  I will provide useful sites to improve your skills and places to revise topics that you are struggling with in lessons.  If you have questions, you can post them here and we can all work together to further understand this beautiful language.  I hope you enjoy your time in Mathsville.

  1. I don't actually know how to put my own post on here I could only comment on the Mathsville post. But anyway, maths really isn't the same without you, almost every lesson me and ellie sit there and every time our teacher says factorise these, we say to each other, WHEN I THINK FACTORISE I THINK BRACKETS hahaha. Hows venuezella ( i think thats how you spell it!) and whats the school like there. At godalming now and its soo tough to keep up with all these other geniuses, but I'm doing well i think, oh and forgot to say, i got an A in maths :) so thank you very much for helping me get that :)

  3. What a treat to see these messages from you both! Helen, I still use ET but my students don't quite appreciate it the same. Hope your a levels are still going well and thanks again for the message!
