Some Flash Movies To Try..
Here are some old flash movies I made a while back. The times-tables one is quite good - the code-breaking one is much more difficult. I need to find the presentation that goes with it really to help you out....

Also - don't forget....
At the bottom of the page is a feed from the Teachers.TV website... have a look at the latest programmes.
The first post.....
Well, here we are - the first blog post ever at BSM! This is just a quick note to give you, the reader, the opportunity to see exactly what we are developing in maths this year!
The dominating subject at the moment is the adoption of the new Primary Framework in Maths: http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primaryframeworks/.
Our aim at the moment is to become familiar with the Frameworks and how they work and then begin to put them into practice by using them to plan at least one unit of work this term. Following this, we will endeavour to decide which style of short-term planning suits our school the best as well as determining any other 'best pratice' techniques.
I have found several pieces of guidance and resources on the Net which may be of use or interest:
http://tlfe.org.uk/mathematics/primaryframework/ - an excellent site with some planning exemplars that are very useful.
Also - look to the right for a list of ICT resources for Maths - flipcharts and ITPs alike!
