3-Read Friday #78
Homework, AI, and student participation
Give your students a chance to stay sharp this summer with our maths Summer Club from July 21st to August 29th!
By completing the Question of the Day (QOTD) each day in their free Eedi account, students can earn weekly prizes and build confidence for the new school year. Plus, 3 lucky winners will be chosen every week!
It’s a fun, easy way to keep learning going while rewarding effort!

Here are three blog posts that I found interesting this week.
1. AI'm not doing the homework by Jo Castelino
A few weeks ago, I asked the question: Is Maths homework dead? Homework expert, Jo, delves deeper into the issue, suggesting practical ways we can make homework useful in the age of AI.
2. Coaching Cut #20 The premortem by Sarah Cottinghatt
A premortem is where you imagine that failure has already happened, analyse why this could have happened, and then take steps to prevent it from happening. Sarah shows how this can be a powerful technique when coaching.
3. The importance of participation by Bronwyn Jones
When I watch lessons, I often ask the question: How easy would it be for a student to lack effort or lack understanding, and the teacher be unaware of it? This is a question of student participation—something Bronwyn addresses in a trilogy of posts. Here is the first. Read them all.
