I'm mainly active on the other place now, because, quite frankly, it's much nicer.
Come and join us! We have loads of lovely conversations about maths and teaching!
UK Maths teachers! Thinking of moving over to Bluesky for the new school year? I made a starter pack full of lovely KS5 Maths people that you should follow. See you there 😊

I don't post here any more, and rarely check it, but if you're considering making a move to a different platform and want to know where the A Level Maths people are hanging out, a lot of them are here. Come join us! go.bsky.app/znERv2

Hi @CasioMaths, when I visit this link on my phone it gives a list of upcoming webinars (teacher and student) However, when I go to the same link on my laptop it says there are no upcoming webinars available. Is this a glitch? Thank you.

@CasioMaths I have tried to contact you via the contact form on your website, but have had no response.
Happy new term to all those back this week! Re-sharing this in case anyone has a Y13 student returning after the summer who has decided to apply for a university course that needs an admissions test 😊
I've made a padlet for our students who are preparing for university admissions tests (MAT, TMUA, STEP, PAT, ESAT, AEA) with links to websites and resources. Feel free to share.
Please do alert me to any errors/updates, and any other resources I can add!

Please could you complete my very short Water Usage Survey?
It should take less than 2 minutes!

I'd really appreciate some reposts too please.

I've turned this into a PowerPoint and added more news stories from the summer.
The articles are in Word documents that can be printed 2-Up and double-sided to fit on one side of A4 😊

In #CoreMaths I like to start the year with a lesson on using news articles to do some estimation or data calculations, to get the students talking and thinking about "real world" maths. Here are some recent news stories that I'm planning on using this year:

Changing A Level Exam board. Is there a document somewhere highlighting all the differences in content between Pearson/AQA/OCR for A Level Maths? @mathsjem @sxpmaths @Whitehughes @blatherwick_sam @BerwickMaths @jemmaths @DrFrostMaths @ECR_Maths
In #CoreMaths I like to start the year with a lesson on using news articles to do some estimation or data calculations, to get the students talking and thinking about "real world" maths. Here are some recent news stories that I'm planning on using this year:
BBC News - Two Leeds Festival stages closed due to high winds
bbc.com/news/articles/c2l1xx…
What calculations might the organisers need to do in the planning stage?
How much space would be needed for tents? How many toilets? How much food and water? What assumptions have we made?
BBC News - Team GB Paris 2024 Olympic medallists by location - BBC News
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2g…
Look at how the data has been presented in this article. What is good, and what could be done to improve it? Is any of it misleading?
Update: I've been there 6 days, and it's loads nicer. It's like checking into a familiar hotel that has become run down, and getting a surprise upgrade to a fancy suite away from the rowdy guests. See you over there! 🦋
Why has The Guardian chosen three statistics questions to illustrate the challenge level of A Level Maths? 🤔
