The maths department are excited to share their enrichment offer with our new Year 7 cohort and their parents and carers at this afternoon’s enrichment fair The Derby High, Bury #senseofbelonging #derbydiploma #welcomenewstarters

Our new Year 7 cohort have been getting stuck into some interesting anchor tasks from Realistic Maths Education and Manchester Metropolitan Uni this week. It was great to see all the different ways they counted dots in a pattern and then explored expressing this mathematically! The Derby High, Bury #richmaths

8A3 dove head first into an anchor task on simplifying ratios by making great use of our whole class whiteboards today Some lovely teamwork was on show too, well done Year 8s!! The Derby High, Bury #handsonmaths #ratios

8A4 are creating patterned jewellery using ratios with Mrs Dean this morning. Here they are in the planning stage using their ratios to work out the number of each bead they will use so the proportions matched the ratios they had chosen: The Derby High, Bury Manchester Metropolitan Uni #handsonmaths

8A4’s ratio jewellery is complete! Students created summary cards explaining how their ratios related to the jewellery and simplified their ratios too. Check out our pictures of the creative process and finished products below: The Derby High, Bury Manchester Metropolitan Uni #handsonmaths

It was great to welcome so many new members at Minecraft Club today. Students are learning new skills through exploration and earning their Derby Diploma at the same time! There’s always room for more though- join us every Tuesday at 12.25 in Create 4 The Derby High, Bury #enrichment

We saw some lovely work exploring the relationship between speed, distance and time from our Year 7s this week. Look at these wonderful ratio tables! Students used the whiteboard tables to great effect on this task too. The Derby High, Bury #ratiotables #multiplicativereasoning

Ratio Tables have taken centre stage this week with both Years 7s and 8s using the technique to tackle tricky anchor tasks. We love the space our whiteboard tables and large boards provide for students to explore multiplicative relationships without limits! The Derby High, Bury

Year 8s are busy enjoying a ratio lesson with Mrs Dean and the “geography cow” this morning! Look at the amazing whiteboard use below and how students move from explaining ratios using words to mathematical representations! The Derby High, Bury #Ratios #TheDerbyGeographyCow #Literacy

Our Maths department whiteboards were put to a different use today during break as 8B implemented a strategy meeting ahead of the inter-form football competition! The Derby High, Bury DerbyHighPE #healthycompetition #topsecret

Concrete manipulative are a great resource for seeing maths in action. Here are some of our students working on their numeracy skills by using Numicon to visualise place value in subtraction, doubles and addition across multiples of ten. The Derby High, Bury #Numeracy #HandsOnMaths

In numeracy sessions this week we got out and about in school using ratio tables and multiplicative reasoning to convert between cm and block quantities Next week we plan on converting to more unusual (and edible!) units… stayed tuned for updates! The Derby High, Bury #WatchThisSpace

We’ve been out in school again, but this time using ratio tables and multiplicative reasoning to convert between cm and biscuits! Students calculated how long and tall objects were in OREO Cookie and Jaffa Cakes, checked their answers, then ate the evidence! The Derby High, Bury #Numeracy

Year 8 have put their recent ratio work to practice today; designing and making mocktails with different proportions of juice depending on their chosen ratios Some concoctions were much more popular than others but maths-related fun was had by all! The Derby High, Bury #MathsInAction
