We have a few spaces left on our New to Teaching #ALevelMaths York Summer School - if you are teaching A level maths next year and want 4 days of talking about maths and meeting amazing people you can sign up here! It's even *free* for state funded teachers in England ⭐⭐ amsp.org.uk/event/a6848c...

I taught my Y10 group Sine and Cosine rules this week. They’ve told me they’re ditching SOHCAHTOA and using them instead as they prefer them!
Should we just teach Sine and Cosine rules from the start?

I like setting an old UKMT Junior Maths Challenge from the website - answers are easy to share, the aim is to get as many points as they can in the lesson 😃

1.5km swim in Eastbourne for me 🩵

…and still SOOO relevant today!!

Please do keep us updated!

I agree. I’ve taught this using calculators. I’m with you.

5km swim for me 😃🏊🏻‍♀️

I’d just be a bit wary before finding out more about the person….

Hmm. Sadly B.

And what’s the stuff about changing your name? You can keep your exact same name if you want 🤷🏼‍♀️

There doesn’t seem to be an allowance for that (AQA option 2a), though I get students to do this anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️😊

Calculators only for me! Can be high stakes if they mess up, e.g. put in the wrong mean for a few questions, as mark schemes still reward use of tables… 😳

I've spent this evening making a second "Is it plausible?" worksheet as my first one was really successful with my Y11's. I've tried to add more money sense questions into this one to help.

Hope it helps 🙂

Ah Viennetta! Forgotten about them! 😍

I’m loving teaching this to my Core Maths class! 🤓

😳

Definitely the calculators, I’m embracing the tech!

Normal distribution! But the Core Maths content, not such a fan of the hypothesis testing on the A Level spec…! 😄

Thank you for these insights. I’m hoping to be a more focused observer this year!

Thanks for the heads up! Means I need to do some long runs now 😣😁

Is there anyone here with an interest in #DataScienceEducation ?

Here's an example of a free short self-study course we've created to introduce students to using Python for working with data mei.org.uk/introduction...
