Highlights of my first week as an NQT

Teaching the Chain, Product and Quotient Rule to Y12 and watching them collaborate and teach each other, only needing me for the really tricky stuff!
Teaching surds to Y9 and throwing in some lovely surd manipulation problems (c/o Don Steward) that required the use of algebra and Pythagoras' theorem :-)
Finally, engaging some of my year 7s (gradient and intercept of a straight line) and year 10s (sine and cosine rules). Still not quite got the climate for learning exactly as I'd like it - hopefully having my own sets from the start of the school year will help with that!

I also updated my email signature today, from Trainee Teacher of Maths to Teacher of Maths :-)
