I did my A-Levels back in 2002-2004. I did AQA and I remember doing a Mathematical Methods paper, that kind of had bridging algebra that wasn't quite P1 mixed with a little stats (kind of a hybrid paper). Does anyone have any of these past papers scanned and remember how it fit into

If anyone was thinking of getting a SIGNED copy of The Mathematicians' Library for someone for Christmas, I have 42 copies ready and raring to go: £25 (+ £5 delivery in the UK unless you can pick it up from Milton Keynes). As always, a boost of this post would be much appreciated 😁

for some really great sessions too: the former being a deep dive into number sense with stuff that translates really well to secondary, and the latter being what I can only describe as a tsunami of maths activities

Calling all Maths teachers! What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths? Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks... ... or just ones you really like. (see some of mine below)
