Ours get two weeks of study leave for the during of their ‘Year 13 Entrance Exams’ in the summer. They’re then back in for about 3 days before going on a week’s work experience.
In #mathstoday, I’ve tried something new when marking #coremaths mocks. To try & reduce the “where did I lose marks?” questions on the big Paper 1 mock questions, I’m trialling a sticker detailing what is needed for each mark, which I can tick as I go. Made estimation & tax/NI marking much easier 😁
These are a must for anyone teaching Core Maths!
Really useful, thanks!
Fab, thanks!
These are great, thank you. Love the fish finger one 😁
Amazing, thank you!
Both really helpful, thanks for sharing!
No, I’m not, I’ll check it out. Thank you ☺️
Impressive drawing skills - this is fab! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Core Maths teachers - I’m looking at misleading diagrams/charts with my class on Friday. Anyone got any ‘great’ ones I can share with them? I’m going to use this classic but on the look out for a few more crackers @ecrmaths.bsky.social @davegjones.bsky.social @coremathscat.bsky.social
Love this! Hope you had a wonderful day! The big 4-0 awaits me in the autumn 😬
I ❤️ this activity so much! Can’t wait until I can use it in our SoW after Christmas ☺️
When your children are finally old enough to help cut out your tarsia jigsaws 😁🥳
Matt is such a great ambassador for the GLOW Maths Hub. We’re so lucky to have him as an LLME.
If you’re Teaching A Level Maths in Gloucs/Worcs, make sure you sign up for his Developing A Level Pedagogy work group.
Started the binomial expansion today with Year 12. Introduced it a different way to normal and it actually worked really well 😁 also started randomly assigning partners at the start of each lesson using playing cards - definitely recommend this for collaboration outside of friendship groups ♥️♠️♦️♣️
This book is fab! Even if you’ve been teaching A Level a while, you’ll still get so much from it 😁
As a twin-mom, welcome to the club! I have identical twin girls and it’s a wonderful blend of patience-testing madness and heart-warming amazingness all wrapped in double the cuddles 🥰
Big thanks too to @coremathscat.bsky.social for a fantastic session on how teaching maths in context can be such a powerful pedagogical tool!
Thank you so much for agreeing to share your top tips and tasks for establishing the right classroom culture with Y12s. Really valuable points for all A Level teachers!
Exciting day in the GLOW region as we’re hosting our annual MathsFest event for Secondary teachers across Gloucs & Worcs #letstalkmaths
Yes, they’re great when you want your students to practice exam skills/concepts but they’re sick of exam questions. Multiple choice questions which require some deeper thinking. kellymaths.com/foam.php Found this link to them as not easily available online
We have teachers who much prefer Stats and others who are more confident in Mech so splitting makes sense for us.
Plus, splitting means you can pair up experienced teachers with ECTs etc.
We split A Level teaching between two teachers, one Pure & Mech, one Pure & Stats.
The split for FM changes each year depending on how timetabling works out, sometimes split between two teachers, sometimes three.
Done 👍🏼 happy birthday 🥳
Really helpful - thank you for signposting!
C’mon Ofsted - bring it on 💪🏼
Hope the first day went well!
We don’t leave all the applied for Yr2 but the only stats we do in Yr1 are discrete probability distributions. We save everything else for Yr2. Mechanics is a bit more of a 50:50 split.
No, they seem to be tricky to get hold of online. I’ve got quite a lot of them downloaded (although not many answers) Hopefully this link lets you access them: ccsacademy-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/person...
