Yes, this was in 2024
29.01.2026 06:34 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I have started using it a bit for students who have fallen far behind (eg grade E students re-teach themselves basic content) but the interface isn’t great (doesn’t allow me to set tasks for individuals, only for whole classes). I haven’t asked students for feedback so not sure how they find it. 2/2
27.01.2026 19:31 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I’m not really a fan. My MAT funds it - at my school other subjects use it a fair bit but we don’t really use it in maths. I don’t think it’s suitable for homework because it goes through everything from scratch. Better for someone learning A level independently. 1/2

Today my colleague accidentally pressed the little calculator button on her keyboard (which we’ve never even noticed before). The calculator menu that popped up is extensive! Graphing, date calculation (!), time, angles, volume…

We're planning to continue to interview roughly three candidates per place for Mathematics and joint honours. ^James

I ❤️ Science Studio! Today I received a Casio 85CW+ and a 991CW+, both engraved with my name. What a great surprise parcel to receive at school. My team absolutely love Casio’s improvements to the format button. Big fans of the CW+ which will go on sale later this month.

Please share with your exams officers if you think it will be useful.
I teach mostly A level and often blog about A level stuff so would appreciate being on your list if possible. Thank you!

Found my year 7 class discussing Numberblocks in #MathsToday to help them with square numbers. Such a brilliant TV show that clearly has an impact on children's understanding of number. #iteachmaths

I've written a second post on using AI in the Maths classroom to aid student learning, this time in generating checks for understanding. May give you some useful ideas

Two strips of practice questions for students studying fractional and negative indices. The first strip involves simplifying algebraic powers and roots and writing them in index form. The second strip involves solving equations with unknown indices.
Happy New Year! Thank you to everyone who continues to support my site through spreading the word, buying coffees and reporting mistakes. Many more resources to come in 2026, starting with some harder indices practice strips I've made for my Year 9s next week. Enjoy!

These unit sheets are so versatile. I’ve done them with the Edexcel SoW. Set them as a cover lesson with the guiding video, use them in class as a lesson or set them as homework. Perfect for KS4. www.hannahkettlemaths.co.uk/cover

Interesting graph showing a massive disconnect between median and mean averages.
The median is about 0.4 drinks per week, whereas the mean is 9.8 drinks per week.
