About
MathsClass is about teaching and learning in a maths classroom.
When I first started this blog (2007), my intention was to write about using technology in the maths classroom. However, using technology in the classroom wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. This blog shifted focus to being more generally about teaching in the maths classroom.
This site will be a place for gathering ideas, sharing what works and listening to the experiences of others (i.e. you, feel free to comment).
Posts will be a mix of…
- using technology to create lessons and lesson materials
- using technology as part of a lesson activity
- linking to websites with resources for teaching or online interactive site
and more generally
- lesson ideas and resources
- reflections on what I've found works and doesn't
I'm a fairly practical person, and this will be obvious in this blog. Most posts will hopefully be something you can use tomorrow, or the next day.
MathsClass is written by Simon Job, a teacher in his second third fourth fifth sixthseventh year of maths teaching in a public high school (Yrs 7-10) (moved to a 7-12 school in 2011) in Western Sydney, Australia; previously an electrical engineer working in telecommunications and IT.

FAQ
(okay, so I might have asked the questions myself… )
- Q: How often do you post?
- A: The plan is once a week, more if I find something interesting. Less, when things get busy.
