Three things about Cambridge Online Maths

[#learningšŸ¤“] My colleagues David Hickinson and Mohamed Mahmoud Abdulazeem are two complete pros šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž at using a nifty tool called Cambridge Online Maths. They both spent some time last term training us up here in #CambridgeMENA. šŸ’ŖšŸ¾šŸ¤“


From them, I learned more about the details of this platform and what a valuable tool it is for teaching Maths. Following on from that, I was able to train some teachers last week! #payingitforward #newskills


Thereā€™s really nothing like doing something yourself to get the hang of it.


Thatā€™s why "skill", to my mind, is not a noun but a verb, and it requires practice.


Over and over.


So if youā€™re hesitating about being able to teach a new subject or operate a new machine, whatever it is... gather your intel, and go for it!


Dive in and try.


Life is much more fun this way. šŸ¤©


Back to #Maths: if youā€™re also a #math #teacher using Cambridge University Press Education Mathematics resources for Stage 7 and above, this next bit is for you...


Did you know about this nifty development in the new edition of your #books? Here are three things about Cambridge Online Maths you may not know:


āœ…1ļøāƒ£šŸ‘šŸ¾ A pretty cool thing is that access to Cambridge Online Maths is embedded into the sleeve of all our books for Stage 7 upwards. Convenient! šŸ˜Ž


āœ…2ļøāƒ£šŸ‘šŸ¾ Itā€™s a great way to increase the number of ways you can do Assessment for Learning in a very organised and data-rich way. AfL is an underpinning part of teaching in general, and Cambridge Online Maths gives you pre-built tests, quizzes, practice opportunities, digitised workbook activities and more. šŸ¤“


āœ…3ļøāƒ£šŸ‘šŸ¾ Because my colleagues took the trouble to train me last term... Iā€™m now able to train you! šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø So if you are a school using or considering using Cambridge Maths for Stage 7 upwardsā€¦ letā€™s talk!


Thanks to Mr Praveen for his efforts to coordinate this and gathering the team together for this training - good luck with onboarding your team to the platform. Thanks to Marwa al Samsam for her continued support with Merryland International School - Abu DhabiāœØ



P.S. The photo shares a snap of the training. A key highlight of any good #training / #facilitating for me is that we #laugh at least a little bit. So I snuck this slide in with a bit of a light-hearted question to help us do just that. Do you like this slide, Mohamed Mahmoud Abdulazeem? Help us with the answer! What IS a scorcher!? šŸ”„šŸ˜„
