I agree, most of my colleagues are not interested beyond teaching.

Interesting read but I dont see an example that can't be taught without algebraic division. You say point 1 is wrong. Why?

Can you give examples to back this up pls

Is one given as a root and the other a decimal indicative?

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school

Good idea, planning on using them to refresh skills rather than tests. I'll take a look πŸ™‚πŸ‘

We used them for supplentary questions but still use the brown and blue ones which the students buy and we buy back at half price and sell next year. CGP were a lot cheaper and could be used with the teacher having the blue/brown books to supplement?

I agree, not a surprising outcome πŸ™‚

I can see this would be the case if the subjects are taught in parallel but is it the case if Maths sat in yr12 and fm in yr13?

05.09.2025 11:54 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I believe in that case you can use the calculator, in the same way that it solves simultaneous equations or does binomial or normal distribution calculations

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.

I think this depends upon the wording of the question, sometimes it says use factor theorem, or algebraic methods

I didn't note that point of intersection was at the point of inflection, so spent more time on this than I should πŸ™ƒ

Along similar lines to yesterday's. Find the exact value of the green area.

12.08.2025 06:19 β€” πŸ‘ 7    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

Ok

04.08.2025 16:49 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Is that because 411 is a rounded figure and not exact?

29.07.2025 19:27 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I replaced x with 12/13x and y with 12/13y in the original and got the 411 version I think πŸ€”

27.07.2025 17:23 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I think it is 13/12 in both directions?

24.07.2025 16:09 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I have pinned the actual question on my profile. There is an original and 2 accepted 'similar' shapes the 350 version is not considered similar to me and those who kindly replied

24.07.2025 09:50 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Agreed but the 411 answer in that format is worth more than 1 mark πŸ™‚

21.07.2025 21:45 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Are you saying both answers are similar to the original?

21.07.2025 21:44 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It is edexcel πŸ™ƒ
