I’m hoping to have something that may help with this released in a few weeks :) but yes my advent calendar of integration doesn’t have FM sadly.

Could have been more impactful. Also depends very much on board and your scheme of work to how well things match up.

We had it for a while. Students generally weren’t terribly positive about it. If the student dedicates the time it will definitely have an impact, but persuading them to do it I found hard and took resources in terms of teacher time and admin time away from things that I thought 1/2

GCSE Maths – Do Now

A friend of mine has just launched this website that I think is pretty great for generating quick starters for A-Level maths and he has started adding some questions for Further Maths too.

This is very exciting!! Cynically though, Casio know how many are going to sell to teachers who want this over the old version. They should send us all a free one!

Planning ahead for next Christmas I am thinking of doing another one (with different questions obviously). So in preparation for this I'd love to hear any comments on this years one if you had one of them :)

I hope anyone who had one of my Advent Calendars this year enjoyed the daily questions - I will bring be posting video solutions in the first week of January and then packaged the questions together by qualification so they can be used for revision.

I posted a short Christmas Day estimation task on my website on Christmas Day featuring a tub of good old Quality Street (even if I am still very disappointed with the new fangled paper packaging). #ALevelMaths

Christmas colouring picture featuring Santa, reindeer and trees. A sample of further maths questions.

My extra Further mathematics Christmas Calculated Colouring for 2025 is now available on my website. This has some year 2 content in the questions.. My 2024 and 2019 ones are pretty much just Year 12 depending on SOWs etc. Link: blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/12... #ALevelMaths
