This will hopefully give students an indication of which universities are more or less flexible on their entry criteria, to help them make their choices. Subjects are in tabs along the bottom (eg Maths, Physics, Comp Sci, etc) The data is for 2026 entry. wykecollege-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/person...

In #MathsToday I ran a lunchtime session with some year 12 students where we looked at this activity. Trying to get them into the mindset of "just trying things and talking about what you're doing", with the eventual idea of leading to Oxbridge-interview-style questions

There's water trapped in this train window, and here's how it sits when the train
• moved at a constant speed
• accelerated out of the station
• decelerated coming into the station
Which is which? How do you know?

Does anyone has AS pure mock set 4 downloaded from Pearson (it's been down all day and not sure when it will be back)

@themathsbazaar.bsky.social this feels like the sort of random thing you'll have downloaded!
