Great to see @jamesmunromaths.bsky.social and @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social offering TMUA prepartion sessions. Private tuition can make a big difference with these tests and anything to help level the playing fields is welcome. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Today's tricky integral is a beast... Integrate sqrt(tan(x)). Easier if you have knowledge of complex numbers but at this stage my class don't, so that's the real challenge! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Some integration fun with Year 12 FM pupils today! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

I've said it before, if I wasn't tied to Devon I'm certain I'd love working with @sxpmaths.bsky.social #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Does anyone please have a stash of Complex Number Geometry problems (likely involving roots of unity) they can share with me? Unusually, Madas has none and I've exhausted recent past paper questions. STEP 3 has some but they are too hard for what I want! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

@oxfordmathematics.bsky.social Any specific details about why MAT has been scrapped? I really worry that TMUA is much more variable will be a less good predictor of who could succeed at @ox.ac.uk (it's a speed test). Will you be interviewing more pupils in future? #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

@meimaths.bsky.social What was going on when this was published!? 😂 #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

How do people feel about this?

I just spotted something that I've not highlighted to pupils before. If you derive the derivative (hehe) of arcsin(x), you can expand it and integrate to get a power series for arcsin(x). I know it relies on the Maclaurin series of (1+x)^n but feel it's nice nonetheless! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

Beautiful scoot to school!

Very pleased Seth chose the Pi cutters for cake Tuesday! #MathsToday

Really pleased to learn that two students I was helping prepare for @ox.ac.uk @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social have received offers today! 😍 #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Cake Tuesday in the Maths office. Food supplied by my six-year-old Seth 😍

Some 'Christmas' problem solving with buzzers bought on my PGCE (they come out once a year so should last a lifetime) and making use of the fabulous @ukmathstrust.bsky.social Team Challenges #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

This looks awesome! Worth sharing with keen A-Level pupils who'd like a taste of university mathematics. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat x.com/i/status/199...

@ukmathstrust.bsky.social are here! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

That time of year again... Please share the below booklet with any pupils thinking of studying maths at universities that use interviews as part of the admissions process. www.drfrost.org/downloadable... #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

Year 13 FM using the key properties of determinants to derive the 2x2 case (and think about how that scales to 3x3 case). This was always planned to follow yesterday's breakdown of Leibniz formula! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

This has had some very strong reactions. Interesting how people haven't stopped to consider, or ask, the context in which this was delivered. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

Year 13 FM unpacked the following Determinant definition today. I didn't display the 3x3 case at first! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

Back to being in the prime of my life 😁 #MathsToday

Love the interactive T puzzle below! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Year 12 FM Fun: #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

For Year 12 today... Why is solving a sum-product problem equivalent to solving a quadratic? Why does the 'ac method' (splitting the middle term) work? #MathsToday #AlevelMaths

First full (8 period) day after a year away from teaching. Felt great to be standing up in front of classes discussing maths again. I did the below with a mixed Year 7 class and to my surprise, when I asked at the end they all said they enjoyed it! #MathsToday nrich.maths.org/problems/sha...

Who wakes up this happy?

Is this big news? Any D1 fans out there? #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat medium.com/@adnanmasood...

Amazing that Ofqual have allowed Pearson to bury their mistakes regarding A-Level Maths Paper 2. Approximately 70 000 students take this exam, most entries paid for with public money. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

It doesn't address why there was a replacement for 99.9% of the cohort. It also doesn't address the issue of Paper 1 and the replacement Paper 2 being so similar. These seem reasonable things to want to know! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Out of respect for the students getting their results, I won't post anything tomorrow regarding the Pearson mess. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #MathsToday

Official response from Pearson now grade boundaries have been set. @alevelscandal.bsky.social not sure this really deals with points raised. Covers their back but Ofqual should have done more. qualifications.pearson.com/en/campaigns... #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Ambiguous, really?! 😂

What a beautiful boy! 😍

Happy two-month birthday! 🎉

It took him 7 weeks but he's finally smiling!😁

First holiday as a family of four. 😍

The striking anomaly of repeating 3 questions in Papers 1 and 2 and the consequent omission of multiple core topics that were tested in all previous years makes the Pearson Maths A Level distinctly different and therefore "not comparable" to previous years. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Below is an excellent outline of why Pearson shouldn't be allowed to get themselves out the A-Level mess they've created. Ofqual must intervene. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat x.com/ALevelScanda...

Come on England!

Pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed watching this. I'll be watching Q4 soon. I'd like to get more of this into my teaching, especially during extension classes. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

How do we feel about this in-store M&S advert? #MathsToday #UKMathsChat

I've enjoying the recent co-ordinate geometry challenges from @paddymacmahon.com. A bonus is the discussion generated with @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social. It's getting me warmed up for a September return to the classroom 😁

Thriller anyone!?

I think @naomibowler17.bsky.social is winning parenting...

Wakey baby 👶

Anyone wanting to know more, please read the detailed posts by @alevelscandal.bsky.social on here and @ALevelScandal on X. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Sleepy Daddy 😴

Rumours circulating that Ofqual are seriously considering taking regulatory action against Pearson. They likely have little choice due to overwhelming evidence of exam irregularities. Pearson have not helped themselves by making contradictory statements. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Daddy kisses 😘 (Star Wars outfit is a classic from his older brother!)

@jamesmunromaths.bsky.social Are you, or other relevant colleges, able to comment on this?
