So fun! Thanks for the invite @arithmaticks.bsky.social

I sent this to 2 trainee teachers yesterday! You are absolutely right that there is not enough out there for students on grades 0-2.

New post: tasks with scaffolding

#mathstoday #ukmathschat

A poster full of misconceptions such as "Addition and multiplication makes things bigger​" and "Two negatives make a positive​"

A brain dump of mathematical misconceptions.

Which of these might be avoided through careful teaching?

A-level Maths task on finding the remainder when dividing a polynomial by a linear expression using algebraic long division.

A-level Maths task on shading regions in two dimensions divided by linear and quadratic inequalities.

A-level Maths tasks on (i) solving linear and quadratic inequalities graphically, and (ii) simplifying algebraic fractions either by splitting the fraction or by factorising.

✨New A-level resources from this week's Year 12 lessons on graphical inequalities, algebraic fractions and algebraic division. The new A-level section is slowly growing! www.draustinmaths.com/a-level

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)

In #MathsToday I did this as a starter on estimation.

With the aim of getting pupils to consider which counters are the 'significant' ones.

Some fun stats to look at today!

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.

This is a really good way to put it, the norm of doing independent study! I think setting specific independent study tasks for the first term of y12 can ease the transition from a prescriptive (spoon fed!) y11 too.

Not strictly #MathsToday but I was asked to spend time this afternoon sharing strategies with colleagues around how to secure strong A Level outcomes, here is what I talked about..

I like your suggestions… where do you land on loci and constructions? I would happily remove them completely from the entire maths curriculum 🤣 is there anything else other than Roman numerals that you wondered about fully removing?

Thank you!!

Help! What is the website called that is like exam wizard but no Edexcel login required?

Needed a new project so I’ve decided to make worksheets and accompanying videos to review each Unit of the GCSE Maths course. Unit 1 Higher (Number) just went LIVE on YouTube. I actually think these would be really powerful as a cover lesson. Bit.ly/gcsemathsH1Vid

Calling all teachers of A Level Maths and Further Maths.

I've updated my blog looking at the calculator requirements for AS and A Level.

This term the AMSP is running a 'Maths into Data Science and AI' course for #ALevelMaths students. An online 11-week assessed course that introduces them to Python for data and machine learning.

1st cohort starts late September - you can sign your students up now at: amsp.org.uk/event/4d4629...

Did you know I've been working on A-level content? I've managed to cover all of year 1 statistics now including in depth videos (a little over 6 hours worth), exam questions and solutions on each topic (117 full exam questions in total). All free, of course.

For the first lesson in #CoreMaths I like to get students to look at some recent news articles and do a bit of Fermi estimation using the figures.
The news is a bit bleak at the moment, but here are a few articles I've spotted this week - feel free to add suggestions to the thread!
#MathsToday

I've made a couple of changes over the summer:
✨A new homepage with a What's New section so you can easily see what's been added recently
✨A bigger focus on KS5 with separate pages for A-level Maths and Further Maths, with lots of new resources, particularly for Further Maths. #ALevelMaths

New academic year, new Step Support Programme website!

Over the summer we have updated our website, had a bit of a tidy up, and added some new content.

One of the new features is a "Check in test' for students who have completed the foundation modules complete with marksheme.

Excited to join the maths SDL team @teachfirst.bsky.social
Looking forward to all the maths ITT geekery!
