I’ve gone with Dusty Rose this year and got the embossing. I’m very very excited to start using it in a week!!
Love a matching pen loop too obviously.

Sadly not. I heard you were doing a session - wish I could be there.

Well I think it was you I saw anyway :S

Haha I thought exactly the same. I was going to at the end whilst I was talking to Nilam but then you had gone and I couldn’t see you :(

Good fun delivering today - even though it wasn’t as I had planned! Thanks @blatherwicksam.bsky.social for lending a laptop when mine wouldn’t display on the board.

I think I’d say that is non-converging. I suspect our accepted definition probably depends on who taught us analysis at university and who taught them etc. definitions are often problematic. Like the definition that is used for increasing sequences at A-Level!

I always tell my students (there’s an occasional one who tries it) not too as I don’t think it is accepted in exams anymore. Interesting to see it used in an IB paper.

Thanks to @jowoodmaths.bsky.social I’ve corrected a misread of my own notes when I typed up my Paper 3. Question 10 should read as shown below. Corrected paper here: drbennisonmaths.com/Practice_Pap... #ALevelMaths

Bonus warmup grid for AQA Level 2 Further Maths this morning. Hope it is helpful to those of you with students doing it. I’ve planned the questions based on what was already on Paper 1.. drbennisonmaths.com/Warmup_Grids...

Question 11 is a bit scary. Give me a sec and I will check question 10 :)

Is anyone able to send me a copy of the level 2 further maths paper? I’ve been asked to do a warmup grid for it but I haven’t got any students sitting the paper so haven’t got a copy in front of me to inform my choice of questions…

Thanks Emily!! I’m doing a pure revision clock for the morning (along with my further warmups). Then a practice paper 3 over the weekend. Sorry I didn’t get a discrete further paper done by the way :(
