I know that lots of educators on Twitter like to use tweets to summarise learning. I used this with my Year 7s to investigate the meanings of Prime, Factor, Multiple, Square number and Cube number.

After they independently researched the meanings and wrote the definitions in their books, I challenged them to summarise their learning in 140 characters or less. They then filled in their ‘tweets’.

If they had leftover characters they could create their own hashtags.

The ‘Maths Tweets’ sheet didn’t take long to put together – you can download the maths tweets template here (pdf format).
