I remember I had a colleague who was stuck on a FP1 question because she was trying to use algebraic division - she asked for my help and I did it in seconds using a grid. I’ll see if I can find it. All I can remember is it had a p as a coefficient! It was a great example of logic over algorithm.

I don’t know - something big like £2k pa. It doesn’t come out the maths budget. Every school in my MAT has it - considered worth it for the quality and impact.

Hi Maths folk, does anyone know of handy booklets to use for A-level maths intervention? Hoping for something that has questions that are easier and then build up to more exam style? Thanks for any help (also anything for Alevel FM would be appreciated)

Heyo! I have a meeting with area leaders on numeracy across the curriculum. What are high-performing departments doing here? I want to avoid any shoe-horning! @mathsjem.bsky.social

TMUA Paper 2 preparation material *available now as editable PowerPoint* at

www.tes.com/teaching-res...

A page of logical equivalents to help students convert "A only if B" statements (which melt my brain) into "A implies B" or "if A then B" (which don't).

Series of questions on domains of various functions

This is always a fun day in precalc - lots of friendly arguments

Fine, but we’re not expecting them to mark it properly and give themselves a mark out of eighty - they just use it to check answers.

More free resources for students preparing for TMUA Paper 2 logic: two MCQ review tests on the key topics, including necessary and sufficient conditions; counterexamples; contrapositive; converse; quantifiers and negation; logically equivalent statements. Answers too.

Eek! That’s terrible. Wow!

In case you missed it!

I know! Love it.

I love the Sisyphus reference - I never thought of it like that before! Never ending…!

I much prefer it to them all sniggering at the number 69 tbf!

Brilliant!

I love the early Y12 lessons too - so many brilliant resources to choose from! Wish we could give these lovely topics more time.

Eek! I missed this. Seems ok now…?

Our Year 11s love Papers Society! 150 students voluntarily stayed after school yesterday to do maths GCSE papers in the canteen.

Made this for my year 11. Not the most exciting and not a lot of variety in types but they wanted practice factorsing with quadratics mathshko.com/2019/10/04/alg…

Yes I know, but this feature which automatically appears in Chrome has only been added in the last few weeks (giving students the idea to use AI if they hadn’t thought of doing it previously)

Thank you for the feature! Unit 1 for Higher has gone up today and I’ve given them a more permanent home here: www.hannahkettlemaths.co.uk/cover

All platforms, and even paper based homeworks, are affected by these AI tools. I still love Sparx and think it’s well worth the money. Majority of students are motivated to do well and understand the benefit of practice.

My daughter is doing her Sparx and she just spotted the Chrome now offers in-built AI homework cheating (see button at the top right - takes you straight to AI tools that answer the question for you). FFS.

Oh great! Yes, saw the article but not the website. Weird that this hasn’t been promoted with teachers - maybe that’s coming soon.

Hat tips! 🎩 Thanks to @neechmaths.bsky.social @hannahkettlemaths.bsky.social @missradders.bsky.social @mrs-p-maths.bsky.social @mathspadnicola.bsky.social @draustinmaths.com @catrionaagg.bsky.social @mrlevmaths.bsky.social @karenshancock.bsky.social @nathanday.bsky.social @1stclassmaths.bsky.social

Yes, thanks for the reminder of a nice resource - good to get students doing something a bit different.
