Welcome to the Maths White Board. I am a Lead Practitioner of Mathematics at Hinchingbrooke School (UK) and have been teaching since 2006. I first created the site to tackle the issue of seeking more differentiated material when teaching Maths. However, since the start of the pandemic, the site has massively changed to meet the needs of the schools that now use it. The site now incorporates a range of tools to support you both in and out of the classroom. Please choose from the available options below or read on to learn more about this exciting project.

The Maths White Board is your tool to support you with classroom teaching. The software contains an ever increasing Maths question bank that you can utilise to generate templates for modelling, consolidation exercises, recall exercises, worksheets or mini whiteboard exercises. Every part of the software has stemmed from solid research findings (more info below).

Finding a good worksheet to meet your needs is sometimes hard. Some worksheets have too many easy questions and some have to few of the goods. This generally leads to you having to do a lot of editing. This is why I have put you in control of designing your own worksheets using the WorkSheet Generator. You choose your topics, you choose how hard they are and you choose how many you want. It really is that simple. Find out more below.

Utilising everything I learnt from generating an app called "Pencil Box", we now have Class Share. The software has been designed to work on all devices and comprises of a full-suite of tools to support you whilst teaching. The site includes a powerful sharing facility (for MWB, BWB and LWB) where staff can share their screen with students and vice versa in a safe learning environment.

If what you are looking for is a simple to use scribble pad, then we have the Blank White Board. It utilises the same drawing kit found in the Maths White Board with a ton more features. The only thing it lacks is the Maths question bank, but who is not to say that it couldn't come from another website using the web tool.

Utilising the same AFL system built into "Class Share", you can now turn any device into an AFL responder via Class Pads. Simply initiate user key pads with either "True or false", "ABCD" or "RAG" response options and clearly see what students answer with. This can be used adhoc alongside any pre-existing PowerPoint or spontaneous question you may have.

Sometimes all we really need is an easy way of recapping topics with students to help build confidence to recall techniques. The Last lesson, Last week, Last topic, Last term (LWB) tool harnesses the question bank from the MWB website and provides 4 separate topics on a single page. Within each topic you can differentiate the questions using the on-screen options.

It is so important to practice a range of different topics over time to help with memory retention. That's why I have put together a Revision Starter Board generator and some pre-made packs. Each pack can be produced to suit the ability of your group by choosing a specific difficulty level and can always be made more difficult throughout the week that you may be delivering it in.

--- KEY THINGS TO KNOW ---

Every aspect of the Maths White Board site is built around 3 things:

Differentiated challenge

Each topic area has been broken up into roughly 6 differentiated concepts to facilitate a greater level of support or challenge for a learner.

Beautifully scaffolded

Each topic has been structured in such a way to lead a user through a desirable teaching sequence or learning journey.

Endless questions

The site has been built with a topic bank at it's core not a question bank. The main aim is for you to never encounter the same question twice.

--- SHAPED BY RESEARCH ---

Below are 3 activities contained in the Maths White Board site born out of research:

Mini White Board activity

A powerful tool to support the use of mini whiteboards during classroom assessment. This part of the website produces a question for a specific topic and displays it full screen for clear viewing. Whilst using this tool, you have access to each of the differentiated levels (stars) and the answers are available for each question providing ease of use. You can generate new questions (but with different numbers) at any level with a simple click of a levelled button. No longer are you limited by the number of questions in an exercise to assess students whilst also being driven to master a specific skill. This tool is available under the main menu of the software and titled "Mini WB".

Recall White Board

Ideal for recapping on the full breadth of a specific skill (starters/revision). The site will produce a question at each of the differentiated levels and arrange them on screen for students to complete. You can then model the appropriate method before selecting the question to reveal the answer. If another question at the same level is required, select the refresh button to generate a new question but with different numbers. Endless opportunities to revise all aspects of a key topic skill over a sequence of lessons. This tool is available under the main menu of the software and titled "Recall WB".

Secure White Board

In order for techniques to be cemented into long term memory, sometimes we need to just give students a few similar questions for them to learn routines. The idea behind this aspect of the site is for students to practice so they learn not to make mistakes. The site will produce 6 questions at any chosen differentiated level and arrange them on screen. Not only will this tool help students to become familiar with techniques, it will also reduce the cost of printing unnecessary 1 time worksheets for classroom based activities. This tool is available under a selected and levelled MWB activity and titled "Secure WB".
