Welcome to my 167th gems post. This is where I share some of the latest news, ideas and resources for maths teachers.
1. Polypad
I’ve blogged about Polypad before, and used it myself in a lesson on nets last week. My students were suitably impressed! Recently there’s been a series of tweets about some really cool stuff that Polypad can do – these are definitely worth a look. Click on the tweets below to see the animations in action, and check out @MathigonOrg’s feed for more like this. I particularly like what you can do with factors.
