Does anyone else do Edexcel #ALevelMaths for FM? I got a negative mass on Q9 CP1 which threw me until I realised we weren’t being asked to evaluate that variable…but surely that’s confusing? Some of my students did the same as me and spent ages rechecking the question.

In #ALevelmaths….what are people’s thoughts on the D-I table method for integration by parts that I’m increasingly seeing from students. Does it score full marks? See photo…

In #ALevelMaths Further Maths, we are addressing the eternal question of "but how was I supposed to know it was a hyperbolic substitution?" #MathsToday

Yesterday in #ALevelMaths we had lots of fun bouncing balls - calculating the coefficient of restitution and then using it to estimate the height of the room. Organised chaos! An activity picked up from the AMSP / MEI further mech course.

In #MathsToday, my FM #ALevelMaths classes got totally absorbed doing the volumes of revolution ‘CrackTheCode’ activity from @draustinmaths.com - thanks for sharing such great resources!

New! My 196th gems post. Ideas, updates and resources for maths teachers. 💎 www.resourceaholic.com/2026/02/5-ma... Hat tips to follow. #mathstoday #ukmathschat #alevelmaths

The #BM100 sheet has a 2026 tab now! - Not a primary source, and neither are most of its sources, WILL contain misinformation - Don't share screenshots, share the link, so people see corrections - Refresh the page manually even if it says it can do it automatically docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Not a helpful chart, but approximately 8.5 hours in; we could see first loop finishers soon if conditions aren't too nasty #bm100

In #MathsToday we took 20 year 12 students to Maths Fest at the Royal Institute - what a brilliant and engaging day of maths fun!

Sure, I found it on resourceaholic www.thechalkface.net/resources/op...

I've started a "Maths lesson Bingo" with my students. Can anyone suggest some phrases for my next card to be 4*4? #alevelmaths

#ALevelMaths #Mathstoday Teaching CP1 vectors to year 12 FM -one of my favourite topics to teach, but I can never find enough practice questions to build confidence. Does anyone know where I can get a bank of questions on the shortest distances type questions (point and line, point and plane, etc)?

Radders’ 2026 book thread.

Also just got this email. Brilliant tasks, updated. 🫶🏻

Last minute #Alevelmaths homework planning for this afternoon and just discovered these - exactly what I needed for a binomial expansion homework. Thanks Jethwa maths if you are on here! www.jethwamaths.com/pure-1---wor...

❤️ Love this ❤️ @mathforge.org has done what I’ve never been organised enough to do myself, and catalogued every #geometrypuzzle I’ve ever posted on social media. It looks amazing!

Today’s Y13 starter - I really like how c & d can be solved either by changing the inequality and using the original distribution, or by transforming the distribution and using the original values. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

Is anyone else heading to the Further Mathematics Conference in London today? I’m looking forward to a day out of college doing #ALevelMaths!

Ritangle 2025 is here! Answer question 1 (please DO NOT give away the answer below!) then head over to buff.ly/lchWXbU to register your team. A level maths teachers, don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity for your students! #ALevelMaths #Ritangle2025

Are you ready for Ritangle 2025 starting tomorrow? We had 1,700 teams last year and are hoping to welcome even more this year! Enjoy the challenge: buff.ly/eVGNIZY #Ritangle2025 #MathsTeaching #MathsChallenge

Number 3 makes even the best stop and think!

Is your school ready to become champions? Ritangle 2025/6 is coming and will be open for registrations from 8 October! Keep your eye on our website, BlueSky and X for more information. #Ritangle #MathsChallenge

Lovely task for #ALevelMaths 😍

Spent a slightly painful 15 minutes discussing Q2 with Y12 today. The problem wasn’t with spotting the patterns, but trying to formulate that into full sentences. If you teach #ALevelMaths, I’d be interested to know how your students get on with similar “describe and explain” tasks. #MathsToday

Good morning! Does anyone have a nice graphic of the set notation symbols, including the R, N for real numbers, natural numbers, etc - I’m sure i had something, but can’t find it! #ALevelMaths

In #mathstoday #alevelmaths I did the simultaneous equations activity from the Mathematical Association Pure Mathematics Book (the one with the green cover)- it was a great first task to enable me to get to know my year 12 FM classes and get them talking and working together.

Back to school thinking of a fun little starter for Year 13s after a summer off... #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

Just a reminder that if you are about to start teaching #ALevelMaths, this book is available from the Mathematical Association @mathematicala.bsky.social online shop. In my completely unbiased opinion, it's really quite useful.

Boost your A-Level teaching! 🧠 New PD resource: Proof by Contradiction for Year 13. Includes lesson plan, video tutorial, and handout. Strengthen your subject knowledge and classroom delivery. Perfect for departmental CPD. 🔗: mr-mathematics.com/product/year... #MathsCPD #AlevelMaths

An xkcd cartoon especially for you @ecrmaths.bsky.social #ALevelMaths

This year for #ALevelMaths I have a weekly 30 min workshop to help students prep for entrance exams (year 13 this term, then year 12 from Jan). I’m working through the integral ODPD to prepare before term starts. Any other tips?

We’ve got a 10% discount on the A-Level Maths textbook until 31st August - feel free to share! @danihosford.bsky.social #ALevelMaths

The striking anomaly of repeating 3 questions in Papers 1 and 2 and the consequent omission of multiple core topics that were tested in all previous years makes the Pearson Maths A Level distinctly different and therefore "not comparable" to previous years. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Below is an excellent outline of why Pearson shouldn't be allowed to get themselves out the A-Level mess they've created. Ofqual must intervene. #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat x.com/ALevelScanda...

#MathsToday #ALevelMaths find the area of the green circle. No calculus today, just some nice coordinate geometry. I fed this to chatGPT, which blagged its way to an answer of π. Spoiler - the answer is not π...

Another #ALevelMaths one I adore is Chris McGrane's Isolating Integrals task: startingpointsmaths.com/2023/01/14/i...

Ooh yes. I love this one! mei.org.uk/app/uploads/...

For #ALevelMaths the proof task on Integral with the tables and coloured numbers in and the Integral task that introduces Transformations of Graphs by filling in a table of values and matching to graphs

#MathsToday Our final topic of the year in Y12 Further Maths is roots of polynomials. I've made a few new resources for teaching this topic - some fill in the blanks and a crack the code which you can find on my website www.draustinmaths.com/a-level #UKMathsChat #ALevelMaths

@tomrocksmaths.bsky.social Please take a look at this. We're not dealing with the usual yearly comaint that "these papers were the hardest ever and I've been treated so unfairly...". There is genuinely a problem here that the exam board are yet to fully address.

There is also the #ALevelMaths version House of Games quiz that someone devised. #EndofY12 docs.google.com/presentation...

My end of year "fun" activities (ie disguising #ALevelMaths as a competition) for year 12 students. #MathsToday

More A-level Further Maths resources added today: ✨Sums of squares and cubes fill in the blanks ✨Sum of series crack the code Enjoy! www.draustinmaths.com/a-level #ALevelMaths #MathsToday #UKMathsChat

Doing some TMUA prep in #Mathstoday and came up with this question to get my #AlevelMaths students thinking about sketching graphs/integration questions

Working with Double Angle formulae with Y12 in #AlevelMaths #MathsToday Can you guess which one they found the hardest?

With my Year 12 Further Maths class we've moved on to the Core Pure content, starting with sums of series. I've made a few new resources on the topic so far: ✨Evaluating sums of natural numbers match-up ✨Sum of natural numbers fill in the blanks #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #ALevelMaths
