Found out in #MathsToday that Cambridge have announced that they will now use both the TMUA *and* STEP for entry to the Mathematical Tripos from 2027 which follows Oxford’s decision to swap MAT for TMUA last month. #ALevelMaths teachers take note, source here: www.christs.cam.ac.uk/study-here/u...

We're running our popular 'Bringing the Maths of Data Science and AI into the A level Classroom' PD course again in the summer term. 2 options: only-only and blended (online with a study day) Bookings are open now: amsp.org.uk/maths-into-ai/

Well, that's my weekend sorted! #geometrypuzzle #mathsky #UKMathsChat

We were using a template for the conclusion to hypothesis tests in #ALevelMaths #MathsToday. Too many straightforward marks lost on these questions.

In L6 #FurtherMaths #MathsToday we used this picture to start talking about hypothesis tests. Analysis and introduction to chi-squared goodness of fit tests using this @googlecolab.bsky.social notebook: colab.research.google.com/drive/1HU9yF...

Normal distributions in #CoreMaths this week. I like the approach of introducing calculations using the proportions within 1, 2 or 3 standard deviations of the mean to begin with. And thanks to @catrionaagg.bsky.social I always label inflection points. #MathsToday docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Note that this is part of a wider move by the University of Oxford to use UAT-UK tests, and there will no longer be an Oxford-only test for any course. We're planning to continue to interview roughly three candidates per place for Mathematics and joint honours. ^James

Come and join my department! We're in the Surrey hills (commutable from Guildford, Dorking, Horsham and beyond). Looking for another mathematician to grow our team. Small classes, mostly A level Maths / FM, ice cream on tap.. what's not to like?! www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy...

From September 2026, The MAT will no longer take place. The University of Oxford will use the TMUA. More info:

Thanks for posting this Sarah! I'm looking forward to supporting our applicants with TMUA, and I'll be updating the department's new TMUA page at www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/tmua with resources. ^James

RIP MAT...

Guess which topic we're doing in #ALevelMaths #FurtherMaths #Mathstoday...

Went to the Paris Metro, apparently.

Could y’all do me a favour. Tutoring a friend’s daughter recently has reminded me that I love teaching maths. I’m looking to take on a few students to tutor this year (KS3 or 4) Please share my details with anyone who might be interested. Www.djmmathseducation.com/online-maths-tuition

Finally got round to following your advice, @themathsbazaar.bsky.social !

One current and one former pupil in that line-up. Very proud! #MathsToday

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).

#MathsToday Finally got hold of the same calculator as I had at school (no idea what happened to mine...) Like buses, two of them came up on Vinted in quick succession, so I bought them both!

Putting my Cambridge mathematics degree to use, and started an "Introduction to Mathematical Proofs" course on my YouTube! New video just went live: youtu.be/q9K45z_X40k

Lovely!

Read our blog post about Ramanujan here. trinitycollegelibrarycambridge.wordpress.com/2020/04/24/r...

Born #OnThisDay in 1887 was Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Despite having almost no training in mathematics, he is regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He became one of the youngest Fellows in the Royal Society's history when he was elected in 1918 at the age of 31.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope your winter break is just around the corner, and a good book 📚 or hot beverage ☕ is in your near future. Quick share of my new post: Finding the Smallest Sum open.substack.com/pub/fawnnguy...

Join our upcoming webinar in January with Dr Cath Gripton for a 'Review of Mathematical Education 2025'. Providing insights into how mathematics is taught in Reception, Y7 and Y12 as well as learner attitudes to mathematics. Book now: www.m-a.org.uk/webinar

In L6 #ALevelMaths #FurtherMaths #MathsToday we made our own slide rules (www.sliderulemuseum.com/REF/scales/M...) and learned how to use them for multiplication and division. Teri won the cosine rule race, where pupils chose slide rule or tables to answer a problem (she used the slide rule).
