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?

Pearson forgot to upload the second A-Level Maths Paper 2 and Mark Scheme... 😬 #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Volleyball and a sleeping baby... Winning! 😍

Pearson are acting in bad faith and need to provide transparency on what went wrong during this year's A-Level Maths papers. Meeting individual teachers behind closed doors and telling them not to speak out on social media is appalling. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat x.com/ALevelScanda...

Lovely stuff!

I'd like to apologise for clogging up #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #MathsToday with comments regarding the Pearson Maths A-Level mess. Having said that, I'll continue to post and I hope people understand. A large organisation is trying to (publicly) pretend nothing is wrong and they must do better.

A week late but how time flies! 😍

Perhaps Pearson could make these comments official and respond to all concerned parties, rather than a lucky select few... #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat @alevelscandal.bsky.social

If you know someone who sat Edexcel A-Level Maths this series, please take a look. The exam board are claiming nothing is wrong, which is at least insulting and at worst undermining the public exam system which universities rely on. x.com/ALevelScanda... #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #MathsToday

@Ofqual @PearsonEdexcel I hope students, parents, teachers and schools get the answers they deserve. The radio silence in terms what actually went wrong is appalling. Treating those who work so hard with distain is not a good look. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

There we go 😁

Please, please, please...

This thread is very detailed and worth your time if you had students sit @PearsonEdexcel A-Level Maths papers this series. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

I'm looking forward to working through the @PearsonEdexcel Advanced Extension Award today. I'm glad they've kept it going despite the decreased numbers. More Year 12s FM students should give it a go!
