A selection of integrals and the structure of their solutions, linked by an arrow labelled “integrates like”

Today I realised that “integrates like” is the phrase I’ve been missing for talking about spotting the structure of an integral. #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

A hilly one this morning!

How about "find the minimum value of r to 2dp"?

You could also have a maximum area where they have to round the value of r down, rather than using conventional rounding.

A quartet of representations of the binomial distributions. Screenshots from https://www.desmos.com/calculator/3ea50eafbc

X ~B (10, 0.4) Shade the diagrams to represent the probability P(3 ≤X <6) and draw a numberline.

X~B(10,0.4) Shade the diagrams to represent the probability P(3 ≤ X < 6) and draw a numberline. X ~ B(8, 0.7) Which is larger: P(X < 5) or P(X = 6)? X~B(12,0.36) P(X ≥ c) < 0.5 What is the smallest possible value of c?

X~B(10,0.4) Calculate the interquartile range of this distribution. What is the mode? X~B(8, 0.7) P(X ≤ a) < 0.1 What is the largest possible value of a? P(X ≥ b) < 0.1 What is the smallest possible value of b? X~B(12,0.36) P(X ≤ a) < 0.2 What is the largest possible value of a? P(X ≥ b) < 0.2 What is the smallest possible value of b?

In #MathsToday I made 40 A Level teachers colour in representations of the binomial distribution.

This is your regular reminder that if you teach #ALevelMaths you should definitely try to join your local Maths Hub’s A Level Pedagogy group. There is some brilliant stuff going on all over England.

Excited to be running my first session at #Mathsconf39 with @seethelanes.bsky.social

Talking about Variation Theory in #Alevelmaths and how fun it as a guide for writing series of questions!

Here is a set I wrote in #MathsToday for my stats Y12s!

(also the classic misspelling of Natan 🙈)

Dr Frost Learning Dr Frost provides an online learning platform, teaching resources, videos and a bank of exam questions, all for free.

That time of year again...

Filling in the Gaps With Histograms This blog posts focuses on the sorts of histograms that students see in GCSE Mathematics: histograms with unequal class intervals and where the heights of the bars represent frequency density.&nbsp…

#MathsToday Teaching histograms to year 11 this week and returned to @drrowlandson.bsky.social’s amazing planning series to start. So much deep thought and insight in every post! 🙌 ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2020/06/05/f...

When I went on a tour of my daughter's primary school, something like this was on the wall. I stood there for ages trying to work out what "O" stood for.

(I'm used to Units!)

Loving the process of planning yr12 quadratics. Wonderful resource from @meimaths.bsky.social Integral, @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social & @mrsouthernmaths.bsky.social.

Wonderful resources to make it easy to plan for problem solving and modelling without endless exercises. ❤️ #alevelmaths

@ritabrad.bsky.social please can you email me mrsouthernmaths@gmail.com to arrange posting the folders

It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week 🎉🎉 and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

Good luck! 👊🏻

Just a reminder that if you are about to start teaching #ALevelMaths, this book is available from the Mathematical Association @mathematicala.bsky.social online shop. In my completely unbiased opinion, it's really quite useful.

I have been doing Paddy's problem solving questions every day this summer, and I have found a lot of them challenging. As well as enjoying them very much, they have helped me focus on how I teach problem-solving. Here are the top five things that I have come away with. #ALevelMaths
