**NEW** Y13 A level Maths structured integration questions ("exam-style") using (mostly) substitution. Ideal for revision. Questions and solutions. tinyurl.com/3hew8e4v Also Y13 A level Maths selecting integration methods. tinyurl.com/4ua4jjf4 #ALevelMaths

A square and an isosceles triangle (blue color). What is the red angle?

Some questions planned on the basics of finding the gradient of a straight line. #mathstoday #ukmathsteachers

Just put together my 'warm up' question for Y13 #MathsTomorrow

Okay that's fun for eigenvectors/values #ITeachMath #ITeachPhysics www.desmos.com/geometry/vui...

I don't think I've ever shared a question on probability distributions on here! This is a question that I wrote for last year's mocks. Short, crisp, straight to the point. What do you think? #ALevelMaths

Teachers with girls in Y13 or equiv. who love maths or CS or both: here's a free summer program where they can learn about applications of maths at Jane Street. The timeline is not great considering exams, but do pass it on if you know someone who might like this! www.janestreet.com/join-jane-st...

The weather is terrible so I've gone back into winter mode and messed around with MathsBot for a while. I've added a few new question to the averages and range topic. Example here: mathsbot.com/unitTest?id=...

Really enjoying the "convince me" questions from the Probing Questions part of mrbartonmaths.com . Used these lovely 3 with year 7 in #mathstoday which opened up a great discussion linking together pupils understanding of decimals and fractions and their connection to division.

Update: Just added all 9 variations of the "bread and butter" trig questions. Example here: mathsbot.com/unitTest?id=...

I'm looking for a publisher. 240 pages of old-world trigonometry, geometry focused & algebra free – where it came from, who built it, how they built it, how they used it, and how to do trigonometry in this way today. Any suggestions gratefully received. #UKMathsChat #iTeachMath #MathSky

In "broken calculator" style, find angle x, but your sin button is bust. Tried a few of these types of questions with Y10 earlier this week. #MathsToday

I was pursuing @theericklee.bsky.social math blog today and it is full of great ideas that can scale up or down on grade level. Go check it out! #iTeachMath pbbmath.weebly.com

Two squares and a rectangle. The blue square area is 4. What is the area of the rectangle?

New! My 198th gems post. Ideas, updates and resources for maths teachers. 💎 www.resourceaholic.com/2026/05/5-ma... #mathstoday #ukmathschat #alevelmaths

Some questions on the area of a right-angled trapezium. #mathstoday #ukmathsteachers #mathsteaching

Planning to start Y11 lesson with this in #MathsToday. We say goodbye to them next Thursday. Yikes!

Maths teacher friends - I've just revised my Carom resources, 40 pure extracurricular maths PowerPoints bridging from A Level to University Maths. Great for a sixth form maths club. Everything available for free - google 'carom maths' or try www.carom-maths.co.uk

In #mathstoday we looked at adding algebraic fractions #mathsteaching

In #mathstoday I rolled out this classic SMILE activity in my Year 7 Maths lesson. Worked really well, although it never ceases to amaze me how slow some kids are at cutting out ✂️ 😴

Oooh this should be good! I love reading anything from Colin Foster 🤩

Two squares. The length of the red line is 4. What is the yellow area?

🆕New E2E Revision Sheets just dropped 🎯 Compound Measures 🎯Differentiation 🎯Angles in Polygons 🎯Transformations of Graphs 🎯Percentages 👀 Worked example done on visualiser ⏭️ 2-3 Instant practice (EPP) 🏆 Finish on an Exam Q Can be found here drive.google.com/drive/folder...

#Mathstoday Year 10 circle theorems look at subtended angles. I think getting them to practice which angle it is talking about really helped when using the terminology in the next circle theorem rule.

New probability practice strips added today: ✨Mutually exclusive events ✨Mutually exclusive events from tables ✨More independent combined events Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/probability #ukmathschat #mathstoday

For sure! South Africa also has easy questions on circle theorems. (DBE, or the national exams, are easier than the private board IEB fyi.) Here are the questions from November 2024 to give you an idea. Great discrimination across all grades.

(3) Sri Lanka A/L is a different ballgame to IAL: much harder and much less forgiving. Different versions for sciences and arts. 10 short questions, followed by a choice of 5 extended questions. Scope for Combined Maths: entirety of A-level and a few bits of FM. Lovely coordinate geometry qns.

(2) Singapore: only students in international schools take IAL. Some local junior colleges (JC) offer IB instead of A-level (H1/2/3). Delinked from UK in 2002, removed mechanics from the course. H2 covers similar amount of content, but harer than A-level as O-level AMath is assumed. Qns from 2019.

(1) Hong Kong: prior to the shift to HKDSE, HK had HKCEE (equivalent to GCSE) and HKALE (equivalent to A-level). The HKALE papers were BRUTAL - written in a similar style to very old A-level papers (7-8 questions in 3 hours) but more theoretical. 1st photo in each pair from 1996, 2nd from 2011.

Hiya! If this is your first time here, welcome! I write tests and mock exams here: adventurousandrewmaths.blogspot.com/2025/04/coll.... For more nerdy discussions on exams, check out my Substack: substack.com/@andrewphan1. Still on X at x.com/andrewmaths1.

In #mathstoday (well, actually yesterday) my Year 12s tackled another great Underground Maths problem. This one worked really well & stimulated loads of discussion, helping cement their understanding of logs. Definitely recommend 👍🏼 undergroundmathematics.org/exp-and-log/...

Working through Variable Acceleration in #MathsToday (yesterday!) with year 12s. Finding out students need a bit more structure than usual so enjoying putting together things to help them work out what to do when! #AlevelMaths

In #mathstoday we looked at simplifying some algebraic fractions. Lots of good collaboration on various aspects of their work. I always find there is no “one size fits all” question set for topics like this, really does depend on the class. #ukmathsteachers #mathsteachers

Shout out to all you schools. We've just opened school applications for our new free GCSE Maths mentoring scheme aimed at getting pupils from grade 7 up to grade 8 or 9 (or equivalent). Oxford students will be the mentors. Now we'd like schools to sign up: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/outreach/oxf...

We’ve got a vacancy due to relocation. Years 9-13, great colleagues, approachable and sensible leadership, great location for Derby/Notts. We’re small and close-knit, but not in a cloying way! (It’s great.) 1/2 www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy...

In #matthstoday looking at the sum of angles in a polygon with Year 8.

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.

#Mathstoday Year 9 had a go at finding probabilities from two-way tables with this @draustinmaths.com resource. Printed out the answers and as they did it went round checking for any mistakes.

Some "Power Equations" , equations with indices, or whatever you like to call them. (And so detached from posting here I realise I don't have a clue what hashtag to use... 😐) Downloadable version with worked solutions here: kshancock.co.uk/lessonresour...

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.

#Mathstoday Year 8 did some rotation today, so started with checking coordinates then drawing an arrow on a whiteboard then rotating it according to the instructions. Really reduced the misconceptions.

In #mathstoday we are using special right triangles to help find exact values for sin 15 and cos 15 without a calculator #geometry #iteachmath

In #MathsToday Oxford Mathematics have opened school applications for the pilot of our new free GCSE Maths mentoring scheme aimed at getting pupils from grade 7 up to grade 8 or 9 (or equiv.), with Oxford students as mentors. Now we just need schools to sign up! www.maths.ox.ac.uk/outreach/oxf...

Highlights from my workshop today: These were the questions that the participants found interesting from papers abroad. What do you think? #MathsConf40

New: a quick post about yesterday's #mathsconf40 www.resourceaholic.com/2026/04/math...

Properties of triangles for Year 7. #mathstoday #mathsteaching

Some tasks to round up a unit on speed, distance and time for my foundation GCSE class. #mathstoday #mathsteaching

Now looking at how to stretch our KS3 students, so we're off to @mathsjem.bsky.social! #Mathsconf40

So lovely to see @mathsjem.bsky.social giving a shout out to @draustinmaths.com whilst listening at #Mathsconf40! There's also a few gems that were great reminders!

A problem to start calculus class on Monday. We're not to integration yet, but I want to start nudging student thinking in that direction. Plus a bit of retrieval practice and creative thinking/problem solving. #ITeachMath
