Visit to Ross High School

This afternoon I made it to Ross High School to visit Tracey and the rest of the department. As ever, I was made to feel very welcome, and was again struck by the skill and professionalism of my maths colleagues.

I chatted to Tracey about the November 3rd meeting of maths teachers at Ross, which is going to be an opportunity to share our experiences using the board in groups. I suggested that groups should post summaries onto a wiki as they went along. So we went ahead and set one up, which you can see here.

Later I saw Tim Schmitz using Google Maps do introduce work on distances, and then at the end of his lesson playing Tetris (tm) on his board with the class (lots of hands on for the pupils) - inspiring stuff! I also popped in to see my old mate Alan Cox for a few minutes, before a brief appearance at the DM.
