[#learningš¤] My colleagues David Hickinson and Mohamed Mahmoud Abdulazeem are two complete pros šš at using a nifty tool called Cambridge Online Maths. They both spent some time last term training us up here in #CambridgeMENA. šŖš¾š¤
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
Thereās really nothing like doing something yourself to get the hang of it.
Thatās why "skill", to my mind, is not a noun but a verb, and it requires practice.
Over and over.
So if youāre 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. š¤©
Back to #Maths: if youāre 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:
ā 1ļøā£šš¾ 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! š
ā 2ļøā£šš¾ Itās 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. š¤
ā 3ļøā£šš¾ Because my colleagues took the trouble to train me last term... Iām now able to train you! šš»āāļø So if you are a school using or considering using Cambridge Maths for Stage 7 upwardsā¦ letās 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 DhabiāØ
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!? š„š
