Factor chains are easy to create. Start with any positive integer and sum its factors (excluding the number itself). This gives you the next number in the chain.
So, for example, 10 gives the chain
as the factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5 and 10, and 1...
It was quite late into my teaching career that I first attended a mathematics conference. Until then I either didn’t know about them, couldn’t afford them or thought they were not for me. It was only when I did attend a conference that I realised, not only what I had been missing, but also that they can be affordable and they certainly are aimed at practising teachers of mathematics. Next...
The NCETM, working with Maths Hubs, is seeking applications from teachers and others with experience in maths teaching to take part in a programme this academic year, leading to the nationally recognised designation of NCETM Accredited PD Lead.
There are three tailored versions of the programme: for those with primary, secondary, and A- level experience. Each consists of three face-to-...
