I’ve just got home for a meal out. There was music playing. One song was let it snow, we decided it wasn’t specifically for Christmas just wintery so let it go. Then Rocking around the Christmas Tree came on. It is still September!! Too early!!

In #MathsToday I hit a new level. It was our y6 open evening, I spoke to one of the students and turns out I taught her dad 😱 I used to ask students about siblings, looks like I’ve now hit the parents level 😬

@EdexcelMaths with this updated guidance from JCQ please can you not schedule GCSE Nov exams 48 hours apart as it gives us no time to discuss topics with the students before the next exam

#mathstoday when teaching plans & elevations we draw a line across if there is a change of direction on the face. do you teach them to draw a dotted line if there is a change of direction on the opposite face, so could only be seen if the shape was transparent? No mention in spec or Edexcel SOW

Can you get AQA core maths papers back to look at for free or is it just Edexcel that does that?

Hi Matt, would it be possible to add a few things on LWB? I'm looking for questions like 1.35 x 48. I can only find ones with 0.something, expanding brackets like 2x^2(3x-7) so a power as a factor and using a calc when it’s a bit harder, when it involves trig in a fraction or powers or both,thanks

@matttheapp.bsky.social Hi Matt, would it be possible to add a couple of things on LWB (or point me in their direction if they're already there). I'm looking for questions like 1.35 x 48. I can only find ones with 0.something & also expanding brackets like 2x^2(3x-7) so a power as a factor, thanks 🙏

Love these reviews 😂😂

#mathstoday is anyone aware that you can't request a review of marking if the student received special consideration? I've been told this today but can't see anything about it on Edexcel's website

Not long ago someone posted an alphabet created by chatgpt or similar with corresponding words and it contained many mistakes, there has also been a maths formula sheet, again full of errors. Can anyone remind me who posted them?

Help out Tom if you do AQA A Level. It would be great to see if there's a difference between the boards and also whether there's a difference from the data I collected a few years ago.

#AlevelMaths How did anyone download their Edexcel A level results? Last year I downloaded a file with 1 row per student with the score from each paper & grade. There wasn't such an option this year on Edexcel Online so each student had 5 rows which wasn't user friendly! Did I miss something?

#AlevelMaths does anyone know when the Edexcel A level Maths examiners reports will be available? I can't see them on the Emporium or on the website where the padlocked resources are and I can't see a release date for them - only GCSE ones. It was 4th August last year so I would expect them by now

#mathstoday did your school give out results in person today? Ours get them via email still (changed during covid) and I hate it. So inpersonal, I like being there to celebrate with them or offer support and reassurance if needed. Sending them an email just isn't the same

#Maths Does anyone know when the Edexcel GCSE Maths mark schemes for June 25 will be available in the Emporium?

In #mathstoday I found out we're going to be teaching some children remotely next year as they aren't in school for various reasons. Does anyone know of a "remote whiteboard" kind of system where we can see what they are writing and they can also see what we're writing. They will have tablets.

In #mathstoday we now have to give a strength and an improvement following assessments when reporting to parents. Anyone got any suggestions for how we can do this without it being VERY time consuming for y12 and y13 maths, FM and core maths

@mathsjem.bsky.social looks like you're not the only one!!

In #mathstoday I'm marking y12 end of year assessments. If a student has gone from the first circled equation to the next without the underlined part do they get full marks?

1. A story. Please read. Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit. I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

Niche request: I am looking for a book extract or could be blog etc that is suitable for Y12 students and deals with consent. I would rather it was about consent *within* a relationship. It is a reading task but pupils will reflect on the piece after, so as relatable and readable as poss. Pls RT!!

If you've used 1st Class Maths for free resources in the past, please help them resolve this issue with YouTube to allow them to keep doing what they do 🙂

Finishing off the GCSE Paper 3 resources & am so grateful for the praise that we've received 🤩 As a thanks, we're giving away lots of mugs & pens! 🎁 To enter, RT by 9pm Tues Also, schools planning ahead can make big savings with our fantastic discounts: corbettmaths.com/wp-content/u...

#mathsAlevel Has anyone seen the Edexcel A level Pure Paper 1 from this afternoon? What was it like? @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @mrsouthernmaths.bsky.social @mr-man-maths.bsky.social

#mathstoday if anyone can DM me pics of the questions from the A level Edexcel paper this afternoon that would be great. I'm teaching y13 tomorrow so it would be handy to know what to focus on! Thanks

In #mathstoday we were let down by a company for our curriculum enhancement week in 2 weeks time. Does anyone have any suggestions of people /companies we could try (I know it's short notice) ideally based near Norfolk who could come to us. We have 100 students to keep amused on Fri 20th June 🙏

#mathstoday if anyone can DM me pics of the questions from the A level Edexcel paper this afternoon that would be great. I'm teaching y13 tomorrow so it would be handy to know what to focus on! Thanks

Does anyone have any solutions to the Madas Maths special papers that they could share? Thanks (madasmaths.com/archive_iygb...) #ALevelMaths

#mathstoday those of you who were lucky enough to get a free Casio CG-100, are they worth the extra money? Are they easy to use? Not going to force them on anyone but wonder whether we should suggest them for FM at least. If so, I'll get one before the summer so I can get up to speed!!

#AlevelMaths does anyone know where I can find shed loads of questions for switching between using indices or writing as surds or fractions and back again. Needed for y12 as it causes issues in calculus questions

In #mathstoday How do you know in questions like this whether to prove by testing odds and evens (or multiples of a number etc) or as the mark scheme suggests for this one to factorise and show you have 3 consecutive numbers

a couple of years ago the rules about the number of lessons for maths resits rose to 4 per week coming into force this Sept. Does anyone know if that is still true or whether it went out with the old government. If so, where can I find the details @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @mathsnot.bsky.social

This week has already contained too much week. We have made it through the 2nd day of our Ofsted inspection. Can't believe there are still 2 days to crawl through until the weekend but never have I been more thankful that this weekend is a long one 😀

Anyone know how I can stop these printing like this? They look fine on the screen and then print with lines all over every page except the front cover. I've tried downloading it from the Emporium again but it's doing the same thing @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @mathsnot.bsky.social

The latest TikTok predicted paper scam is a made up "5 year rule". I've found out these companies are making tens of thousands of pounds by lying to students about their "predictive methods". Make sure your students are clued up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blao...

@clarefeeneyuk.bsky.social @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social @greenshawrs.bsky.social any advice greatly appreciated 🙏

Have any of my maths followers done anything practical on disciplinary literacy. Developing the curriculum? Specific teaching of notation, reading, reading direction or how to process maths information? @mathsjem.bsky.social @sheena2907.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

I'm sure I've seen a list of high frequency topics for A level maths. Anyone know where I saw it or whether I dreamt it? @mrsouthernmaths.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @sheena2907.bsky.social @mr-man-maths.bsky.social

At school I run our social fund which staff contribute to and we buy leavers gifts, flowers when staff are off sick, new babies etc. The account has always been with Lloyds but now they want to charge me £4.25 per month for a community account. Anyone have same type of account for free elsewhere?

Anyone up for a puzzle? In particular the number 10. I have answers for the others. @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @sheena2907.bsky.social @mathsjem.bsky.social @missradders.bsky.social

@missradders.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @mathsjem.bsky.social anyone who does the buying for their maths dept. Where do you get your tracing paper from? I'm struggling to find any of the "old school toilet paper" type, the new stuff is too thick to see through properly!!

PT (0.6 FTE) vacancy in our lovely Maths team in North Yorkshire from Easter. Please note advert says KS3, which summer term timetable will be but longer term we will require KS4 too with KS5 an advantage. Please repost, happy to answer questions via DM. www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy...

What are the main difference between AQA and OCR A level Maths @sheena2907.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

I thought wasps or snow were the biggest thing to mess up a lesson. Today someone walked down the road (right outside my window) dressed in an inflatable orange dinosaur costume. Then a bit later they walked back again...

Anyone seen the Edexcel Maths GCSE foundation paper from today and could give me a list of topics that were in it? I haven't been allowed to see it and really want to give our students some guidance on what to focus on (or not) for Friday's paper.

Last week (I think) someone posted about some training they'd done with their dept marking maths gcse questions. There were bar charts showing the variation in the scores. Anyone know who it was? It might have been on here or possibly X!!

Ofqual consultation survey for the 2025 formula sheets for Maths, Physics and Combined Science. Is it just me who wants SOHCAHTOA written in terms of o/a/h instead of a/b/c?! ofqual.citizenspace.com/public/gcse-...

What is wrong with the second method?
