Hi, I'm Lois Lindemann - welcome to my blog! I teach maths at Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School, a secondary school in the UK. This is where I'm planning to share links and explore ideas that I find useful or interesting - hopefully other educators will also find something of interest here. Thanks for dropping in. Feel free to comment. NB: Any opinions expressed here are those of the author or commenter; they don't (necessarily) reflect the view taken by Dronfield Henry Fanshawe.   |
