I've added a new section to the site today - A-level Revision. Over the next few months I hope to add to the revision resources, starting with four A-level grids - algebraic methods, quadratics, exponentials and logs, and circle geometry. www.draustinmaths.com/revision #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

Particularly useful with the recent changes in Oxford and Cambridge requirements and also discusses lower tariff universities as mentioned in @mathsjem.bsky.social's blog this week.

Prospective Cambridge applicants are welcome to join in with our free online TMUA support livestreams over the summer at www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/tmua ^James

All students applying for Maths at Cambridge will now be required to take TMUA as a preliminary assessment to help guide invitations for interview. This follows the news that the University of Oxford will use TMUA and not MAT. Both for 2027 entries. #Alevelmaths www.maths.cam.ac.uk/undergrad/ad...

Nice mention for @mathemusician.bsky.social talking about a subject close to my heart - the importance of encouraging all students who enjoy maths to do maths degrees not just those getting A/A*. So many great maths degrees out there at lower tariff unis and we will lose them if we don't use them!

New A-level Further Maths resources added today: ✨Hyperbolic Functions Proof Cards ✨Plotting Hyperbolic Graphs Practice Grid ✨Solving Hyperbolic Equations Crack the Code All available from www.draustinmaths.com/a-level-further-maths #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #ALevelMaths

Looking forward to talking about girls' progression to post-16 maths, belonging in maths and the brand new AMSP Girls' Progression Programme 😁 amsp.org.uk/teachers/11-...

#TodayInMaths Dijkstra's Algorithm! For which I have put together a digital tool: www.mrchapmanmaths.com/ks5/dijkstra Happy to hear feedback on it! Think I have worked out the major kinks.

This course is fabulous and great to have the option for online only (although I love a study day!)

Today, for LGBT+ History month, I'm giving a talk - 'Hidden Stories of LGBT+ Scientists'. It's at 12:30 in the National Science Learning Centre on campus @york.ac.uk. You can also attend online! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hidden-sto... How many of my magnificent 7 do you recognise?

New resources for #ALevelMaths on the @meimaths.bsky.social website - we've updated the Casio graphical calculator tasks with instructions for the CG100 mei.org.uk/resource/int...

New mathematics video just dropped! I solve a lovely calculus problem :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWo-...

One of those days where I felt really proud to wear my name badge and represent @meimaths.bsky.social! An absolutely epic month of work finished today at the fabulous University of Warwick #ALevelMaths

Can anyone recommend a reusable mug that doesn't leave the drink tasting slightly of plastic or metal and works well at keeping it hot. I have tried so many and always end up either continuing to destroy the planet or with a very disappointing coffee. Thanks 🙂

In April, #PrideinSTEM turns 10! We will have a celebration for it, and we would like to recognize individuals who have had a positive impact on LGBTQIA+ People in STEM, here in the UK! Do you know someone who fits that description? Nominate them here: prideinstem.org/2026/01/27/n... 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🧪🔭

Reminder about these jobs - you can apply for more than one if you wish 🙂

3 exciting new opportunities to come and work with me @meimaths.bsky.social 😁 mei.org.uk/about/careers/

At the very first mA*ths Online day at Bath University. Just heard a lovely description from a student about the difference between A level and degree maths. She said "in A level you learn methods for solving problems, in your degree they teach you how things work and you apply it problems"

My son passed his driving test (first time like his mum!) last week and his license arrived today. Some days I am absolutely delighted I gave him "Danger" as a middle name 😂

Oxford is switching from MAT to TMUA for Maths, Computer Science, and joint honours, as part of a wider move to UAT-UK tests. See www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/tmua for info and resources. As you can imagine, our website says MAT in lots of places, please bear with us as we change them all to TMUA! ^James

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

Thanks James 😁

Big change from Oxford University! For 2027 entry onwards they will use the TMUA (October sitting) for maths and not the MAT. I am off to update SUMS magazine for current Year 12 students 😂 @meimaths.bsky.social www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/u...

It's the first day of the Winter Guard UK season (have a look at @howiehua.bsky.social's colour guard videos to get an idea what it is!). These two are a lot bigger now and still making me so incredibly proud. Super exciting year as my son is competing in WGI in America in April as well 😍🏳️

I want a mathsy tattoo - what shall I get? Maybe the Mandelbrot set but it would take a while 😉

Gutted I won't be there this year but the eldest will be graduating that week and I will be coming round after the younger two finish their GCSEs and A levels! However you should all absolutely go because it will be awesome as usual 😁

This was about a community for schools taking part in our brand new Girls' Progression Programme. We are so excited to be building on over 10 years of experience and expertise working alongside our fabulous local leads with some amazing teachers and schools. amsp.org.uk/teachers/11-...

Maths content will return but today I turned 46 and got a tattoo, a record player and some prosecco ❤️

@sparksmaths.bsky.social Happy Birthday 🎈🎂

An exciting thing that a colleague and I have been working on for months finally (sort of) launched! It has been a real team effort across @meimaths.bsky.social and today I am thankful for working with a bunch of incredibly talented people. Thanks all ❤️

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

My baby cousin should be turning 38 today but she died when she was just 26. The loss of her meant the loss of so much of my childhood & all our shared memories suddenly belonged just to me. If you feel inclined today please think of Claire and consider donating to a mental health charity ❤️

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
