When I need some practice material for pupils then
@draustinmaths.com is so useful. Easy to find the appropriate resource as it is well-labelled/grouped - answers/solutions are given. Load it all up into a Zoom whiteboard and off we go. Huge 'Thank You' to Amanda @draustinmaths.com

You need to write it in a homework book (again) for the pupils…. But then you should have your own “Uno Reverse / +2 / +4” card that they get double / 4x homework next time for asking … but make sure you “Uno Reverse” their “Uno Reverse” (have 2/3 on standby just in case they know that trick)

I hope you respected the “Uno Reverse” card and did the homework yourself !!!

Which one gets to 2000 first?

a) 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, …
b) 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, …
c) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, …
d) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, …

I’ve not worked it out yet, but 2000 seems like a decent number to make it close.

Gut instinct? Then calculate.

Are graphs a topic in themselves, or just a representation of a concept?

I’m talking about inequalities, quadratics, simultaneous equations etc.

I’ve only had one beer I promise.

Does anyone know if there is a physics equivalent to @tlmaths.bsky.social , i.e a video tutorial for the entire content. They go on PMT for past papers etc but don't know where to look for help
