Once again, I the teacher have become the "padawan" to the Jedi Maths-ter Barton. Thank you exponentially for the idea of a Non-answer as well as a non-answer that somebody else will think is correct. May I "add" just a single dose of my 3 favourite words, topic dependent of course......What Happens IF...... Example What Happens IF I multiply/divide 3 negative numbers ??? Etc

Yes, I am a big fan of "What happens if?". I am using it a lot in the modelling / worked example phase at the moment. Will write about it in a future newsletter. Thanks for your comments!

As always really helpful and interesting. I almost wish I were still teaching in a school so I could use these techniques.

I like the idea of the heat maps as a way to collect information about how the teacher interacts with their class! Sometimes different seating configurations can be difficult because of the size/characteristics of the classroom... it would be great if you could share how these teachers update their seating charts to address better circulation in their classes!

Mainly moving desks away from the wall and getting more space between rows. But it is the planning and implementing of a route to circulate that will make more difference I think. Thanks for your comment!
