I am not sure I’ll get the same traction here as I did on the dark place but please answer and REPOST and let’s try to build a lovely bookish thread. The best book you read this year was… Mine undoubtedly The Elements by John Boyne (please check trigger warnings first).

#WeeklyWins I set revision cover for my year 12 FM class (thanks @drbennison.bsky.social for the revision clock/videos). They were free to do the work wherever they liked. One of the students sent me some photos of lots of them working in the classroom together ‘locked in’ using the big whiteboards

#weeklywins I raided physics and used actual equipment to teach moments to my year 13s and it worked well! #alevelmaths

Give the gift of Maths to yourself??

Thanks to those who have sent data already. To hopefully make it easier to submit your prior attainment and @aqaeducation.bsky.social Maths A-Level Grade please use the file linked here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pdqqh... DM me for instructions on when to send it. Hoping to share beginning of November.

#ALevelMaths please get involved in helping to produce some A-Level transition matrices for AQA A-Level maths.

Thought it might be useful to have a post of which exam boards people use for Maths, to help find each other when we have queries etc about the specification or where to find resources. Add yourself in a comment below if you're happy for people to know what you do- no obligation to do anything else!

Every year I play the Mcfly song ‘it’s all about you’ when I teach integration by substitution, so I loved that they remembered it in this card! I also love the Toucan-Newton substitution!! 🦜🍎 #ALevelMaths

#ALevelMaths Has anyone done the AS Further Pure AQA paper from last week yet? Would you be willing to share solutions with me please?

My husbands school, in Calverton, Nottinghamshire is recruiting a Head of Science, it’s a great school to work in and he’s a great Head Teacher!! www.redhillacademytrust.org.uk/vacancies/va...

In case you didn’t see this morning I put up the solutions to my AQA Core Maths Paper 1 Practice today Please note they are suggested solutions - I don’t give ranges of values like in the mark schemes etc! #CoreMaths blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/04...

Look at this cute Maths Turtle! One of my year 13s made it for me! 🐢 #mathstoday

#ALevelMaths Release schedule of my AQA A-Level practice papers etc for this year.

At #mathsconf37 @mathsjem.bsky.social did a ‘fun with factorising’ session and taught us this fun way of factorising. I came home and showed my year 11 son, he did the second one and liked the new (well, very old!) method! Thanks Jo! #MathsToday

Fun day at #mathsconf37 today! Made so much better by the surprise of seeing my friend Georgina there! #MathsToday

Come and work at Bilborough! Lots of jobs available due to more student numbers! www.tes.com/jobs/employe...

Grrrrrr… this does not make me happy… #MathsToday fail!!!

#MathsToday loved seeing Maths in the real world at the F1 exhibition in London yesterday!!

I used @draustinmaths.com amazing ‘fill in the blanks’ sheet today in #ALevelMaths #MathsToday and students enjoyed the unexpected challenge of the last line!! Thanks for the resource 😊

Interesting discussion about this question today that needed me to start a conversation in the maths workroom! I love that my colleagues can show me new ways to think about Maths and explain things to students! #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

It’s Christmas time (nearly)!!

Hi @drbennison.bsky.social 👋🏻

In #ALevelMaths #MathsToday (yesterday) I was excited to use @catrionaagg.bsky.social amazing intro to normal distribution ‘fill in the blanks’ worksheet with my year 13s. It reinforced the need to draw the diagram, to understand the sd and mean and what we are calculating with the probabilities! 😊

#MathsToday #ALevelMaths This morning year 12 were inspired at the Maths Inspiration Show in Nottingham. Really interesting talks from @alisonkiddle.bsky.social @mscroggs.co.uk and Colin Wright. Hosted by Sammie Buzzard, all 4 have really cool jobs!!

Snow day for my college ❄️ (not for my two children though who are gutted that their school is open! I’m sure they’ll take concerns to the headteacher, who just happens to be their dad 🤣)

In #mathstoday I calculated how much time before the ferry to Vancouver island we had to arrive at the ferry port!! (Sorry if it’s not your half term and you’re not in Canada 🇨🇦) 🤣

#weeklywins I had another lovely ‘shout out’ message from one of my year 13 students ‘Nicky shows care and compassion for her students’ 😊😊

#mathstoday #alevelmaths I taught ‘Completing the wave’ to one of my year 13s today (thanks for the amazing title @catrionaagg.bsky.social ). For my other class, it was the Mcfly ‘it’s all about u’ time of year - integration by substitution!! Fun lessons!

#weeklywins I had a lovely message from a year 13 student that said he is ‘proud to have me as a teacher as I really know how to teach’ 😊

In #mathstoday #alevelmaths I showed the students how to complete the square of a quadratic to get the quadratic formula. Then I wrote BOOM at the end and I loved it!! I stole it from someone on here so thank you!! 💥

Legs are aching today!!!

Looking forward to reading this 😊 Probably should have ordered it at the start of the holidays! 🙄
