In #mathstoday using gained time to start thinking about #Alevelmaths yr 1 summer work - do you do this and if so what? I was wondering about something on the large dataset but maybe that’s best done closer to exams? Or some yr 1 consolidation? Open to ideas!

#AlevelMaths another silly marking question from me. If mark scheme says “must see a correct expression with all powers of evaluated prior to obtaining 9/4” then is this full marks with crossed out line missed or do they need to include that line. Question says fully justify answer. (This is AQA)

#AlevelMaths odd question but in a proof by counter example question to show that something is not > is it acceptable in the final line to use the symbols >/ (/ through the > for not greater than rather than say < I wasn’t sure if this is a valid symbol?

Thanks for all your help the other week on tutoring my godson - another request for help please! Any top tips/quirks/key points for AQA A level Maths pure content? I haven't taught AQA so anything to focus on or that they do a little differently would be super helpful please 🙂 #ALevelMaths

I am beside myself with excitement for this! #MathsToday @desmos.com

I was supposed to finish planting out our new flower border yesterday but instead I fell over on the decking and sprained my ankle 😫 stuck at home resting today and hoping it improves enough for me to hobble my way through the last few days before half term.

Practice Paper 2H Edexcel (a bit ahead of schedule) Expect foundation tomorrow evening (hopefully) www.1stclassmaths.com/_files/ugd/9...

Can someone explain to me expectations on the appropriate degree of accuracy in force and motion qs? Is it that if they use g=10 then answers should be to 1 s.f and g=9.8 then to 2 s.f, is this expected even if question doesn’t say to give to appropriate degree of accuracy? We do AQA #AlevelMaths

In #mathstoday I enjoyed the challenge of teaching Chi squared tests to #coremaths After overwhelming them with normal hypothesis tests last week this week I used diffit for teachers to create scaffolded worksheets, it was great in the final lesson to see them successfully complete the full test.

In #mathstoday #Alevelmaths did the binomial experiment- after initially getting competitive about who would throw the most 5s and one groups experiment being closer to the binomial distribution than the other group it led to some good discussions, I found it a great way to introduce the topic.

Just discovered these great #AlevelMaths question packs www.kirangovindtuition.co.uk/question-packs

Good to see that the OCR Core Maths textbook is finally in stock but 6 weeks before the exam I doubt my students will bother to buy it. When i first asked hachette learning about stock for this (back in Sept) they originally said it would be available in December 🙈 #coremaths

Happy to arrive home on my last day of a tough half term to this beauty #tptc #stationerylover 😴 🍷

#AlevelMaths I noticed in an AQA mark scheme for differentiation from first principles they give a mark for ‘completes the rigorous proof by explaining that as h tends to zero the gradient of the chord approaches the gradient of the tangent at that point’. Are they required to use this language? 1/2

Marking #AlevelMaths year 1 mocks…is there a list somewhere of formula that students should know from gcse eg surface area / volume of a cylinder. The sort of thing that might come up in an optimisation question but won’t necessarily be given in the question.

These will be great for our gcse resitters

In #MathsToday in #AlevelMaths I really did not anticipate how little my students would know from gcse on representations of data- was asked today why height of histogram didn’t match freq in table (having taught them this yesterday). I feel like there must be a better way of addressing these gaps.

Just caught a glimpse of my teaching timetable for next year, super exciting seeing year 2 as well as year 1 #AlevelMaths 😊

Haven’t posted for a while, this term has been crazy 🤪 but next week is mock week for my gcse and core maths students so I only have my a level lessons to prep. Hopefully means I can enjoy my birthday / mothers day 🎂🌷😊

Is there a good source of homework style questions somewhere for mechanics and statistics that are split into year 1 and year 2? #AlevelMaths I have been using Jethwa maths a lot for homework for pure, wondered if there is something similar available for mechanics and statistics. #MathsToday

Graphics pad broke, what do you recommend? Previously had XP-Pen Star G640. #MathsToday

No alarm turned off for me! We don’t automatically get holidays off,we get an annual leave allowance instead so I’m working today and tomorrow. On the plus side I get to work from home and with hubby also working from home and kids all out at clubs/nursery we have a rare opportunity for a lunch date

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths did even more dominoes with Definite Integrals, made extra hard by me muddling up the cards by not noticing that I failed to select collate when I printed them 🙊 I need half term!

Grateful to work somewhere that will cover my lesson so I can go to my 6yr old’s class assembly this morning 😀

A reminder of the Mathematical Hooks padlet - ways in which to promote thinking and discussion with students padlet.com/tessmaths1/m...

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths did double dominoes for introducing integration rules for polynomials.

OCR core maths B, does anyone know if they have to be able to find probabilities for normal distributions from both the tables and calculator? Or can they choose which they use? #CoreMaths @paddymacmahon.com

Talk to me about the large data set for #AlevelMaths AQA, when do you introduce it? What resources are there for this? Particularly interested in what you do in year 1 on this.

What do you find the quickest and easiest way to create a gcse assessment? (A full paper, edexcel, but with selected topics that we have done so far). Yet again in the mess of having finished my part time working week but still with so much to do before next week 🙈

In #MathsToday I had been excited for #AlevelMaths to solve the baked bean tin optimisation problem but I’ll have to leave it until next week as clearly they weren’t as secure on stationary points as I had thought. I really enjoy having a small group and being able to easily adapt plans as needed.

In #MathsToday my gcse higher resitters totally smashed quadratic sequences and were chuffed to bits that they could do the mathsgenie sheet which claims this topic to be grade 9. It renewed my hope for this group.

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths were applying differentiation to tangents and normals. Thanks @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social for your worksheets on this, my students really liked your example sheet and the table layout of the exercises really helped. I have a feeling I’ll be using these all week! 1/2
