Not a helpful chart, but approximately 8.5 hours in; we could see first loop finishers soon if conditions aren't too nasty #bm100

In #MathsToday we took 20 year 12 students to Maths Fest at the Royal Institute - what a brilliant and engaging day of maths fun!

I've started a "Maths lesson Bingo" with my students. Can anyone suggest some phrases for my next card to be 4*4?

Thanks for all the ideas! This is my mech class, so they won’t do FP1…but I have taught them cross product anyway!

Yes…I’d been meaning to buy this for ages (as I love the ALevel one)…and actually got round to buying it this morning when I realised it probably has exactly what I need! Am assuming I won’t have it by Thursday though!!

#ALevelMaths #Mathstoday Teaching CP1 vectors to year 12 FM -one of my favourite topics to teach, but I can never find enough practice questions to build confidence. Does anyone know where I can get a bank of questions on the shortest distances type questions (point and line, point and plane, etc)?

@mathforge.org has done what I’ve never been organised enough to do myself, and catalogued every #geometrypuzzle I’ve ever posted on social media. It looks amazing!

Today’s Y13 starter - I really like how c & d can be solved either by changing the inequality and using the original distribution, or by transforming the distribution and using the original values. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths
