Do the notional component boundaries (by paper) need to sum to the overall boundaries? I make AQA foundation 160 for a 4 based on components but it is 158 overall?

These unit sheets are so versatile. I’ve done them with the Edexcel SoW. Set them as a cover lesson with the guiding video, use them in class as a lesson or set them as homework. Perfect for KS4. www.hannahkettlemaths.co.uk/cover

I have created a Christmas Maths exam paper in the style of Edexcel for my year 11 class for a bit of fun. Please feel free to use it too:

Are your students using studyapps? There are plenty out there teaching them the wrong content... My thoughts on the one most aggressively marketed right now (MedlyAI)

Key topics for Edexcel Foundation Paper 2. I don't have the higher paper or any for AQA yet.

By "early" I mean promptly after the exam has been sat, not before it...obviously!!
02.11.2025 18:13 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I am happy to analyse the GCSE papers in the coming week and suggest key topics for paper 2/3. This will depend entirely on if I can get eyes on a paper so no promises. Given the very short period between each paper, it might not happen. If you know you will have access to a script early, DM me.
02.11.2025 18:12 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Another booklet made. 23 simple/compound interest questions that get progressively more challenging/interesting. #mathstoday #UKmathschat

#Maths teachers using online hwk platforms, what do you do about this?
Good starter for discussion. What is wrong with this chart? @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com

My daughter is doing her Sparx and she just spotted the Chrome now offers in-built AI homework cheating (see button at the top right - takes you straight to AI tools that answer the question for you). FFS.

Most likely plug some GCSE gaps first then maybe mechanics.

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.
