5 histograms. Each one shows the mock exam score of a group of past students who went on to get a particular grade, from grade 9 down to grade 5.

5 histograms. Each one shows the mock exam score of a group of past students who went on to get a particular grade, from grade 9 down to grade 5.

In lieu of grade boundaries, I showed them these histograms, of previous students grouped by the grade they ended up with. Took a bit of explaining, but I hope it helped them see what they were on track for, without me having to give them an explicit grade. #MathsToday

๐Ÿ‘‡This article my Headteacher has written encompasses it brilliantly - definitely worth a read โ˜บ๏ธ

One of the biggest barriers for students who struggle to gain a grade 4 at GCSE is the ability to think multiplicatively, sticking with addition.
๐Ÿ‘‡There is a Work Group to support our teaching of multiplicative reasoning. It is free and comes with some excellent resources. โœจ

30 is the sum of 3 consecutive integers (9+10+11), 4 consecutive integers (6+7+8+9) and 5 consecutive integers (4+5+6+7+8)

Prove that a number can't be the sum of 4 consecutive integers and 8 consecutive integers.
