@mathsbox.bsky.social do you know where can I find this worksheet? I'm sure it's one of yours but I can't find it anywhere on the site. Thanks

I’ve just got home for a meal out. There was music playing. One song was let it snow, we decided it wasn’t specifically for Christmas just wintery so let it go. Then Rocking around the Christmas Tree came on. It is still September!! Too early!!

In #MathsToday I hit a new level. It was our y6 open evening, I spoke to one of the students and turns out I taught her dad 😱 I used to ask students about siblings, looks like I’ve now hit the parents level 😬

@EdexcelMaths with this updated guidance from JCQ please can you not schedule GCSE Nov exams 48 hours apart as it gives us no time to discuss topics with the students before the next exam

#mathstoday when teaching plans & elevations we draw a line across if there is a change of direction on the face. do you teach them to draw a dotted line if there is a change of direction on the opposite face, so could only be seen if the shape was transparent? No mention in spec or Edexcel SOW

Can you get AQA core maths papers back to look at for free or is it just Edexcel that does that?

Hi Matt, would it be possible to add a few things on LWB? I'm looking for questions like 1.35 x 48. I can only find ones with 0.something, expanding brackets like 2x^2(3x-7) so a power as a factor and using a calc when it’s a bit harder, when it involves trig in a fraction or powers or both,thanks

@matttheapp.bsky.social Hi Matt, would it be possible to add a couple of things on LWB (or point me in their direction if they're already there). I'm looking for questions like 1.35 x 48. I can only find ones with 0.something & also expanding brackets like 2x^2(3x-7) so a power as a factor, thanks 🙏

#mathstoday is anyone aware that you can't request a review of marking if the student received special consideration? I've been told this today but can't see anything about it on Edexcel's website

Not long ago someone posted an alphabet created by chatgpt or similar with corresponding words and it contained many mistakes, there has also been a maths formula sheet, again full of errors. Can anyone remind me who posted them?

Help out Tom if you do AQA A Level. It would be great to see if there's a difference between the boards and also whether there's a difference from the data I collected a few years ago.
Inspired by the great previous work of @kerrydunton.bsky.social and because @themathsbazaar.bsky.social is only looking at progression to Edexcel A-Level maths I’d like to produce some transition matrices from GCSE to @aqaeducation.bsky.social Maths. I’m hoping to collect enough data to be useful

#AlevelMaths How did anyone download their Edexcel A level results? Last year I downloaded a file with 1 row per student with the score from each paper & grade. There wasn't such an option this year on Edexcel Online so each student had 5 rows which wasn't user friendly! Did I miss something?

#AlevelMaths does anyone know when the Edexcel A level Maths examiners reports will be available? I can't see them on the Emporium or on the website where the padlocked resources are and I can't see a release date for them - only GCSE ones. It was 4th August last year so I would expect them by now

#mathstoday did your school give out results in person today? Ours get them via email still (changed during covid) and I hate it. So inpersonal, I like being there to celebrate with them or offer support and reassurance if needed. Sending them an email just isn't the same

How do we go about decolonising maths? Well, first we acknowledge the story of mathematical knowledge. Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/bennieka...

In #mathstoday I found out we're going to be teaching some children remotely next year as they aren't in school for various reasons. Does anyone know of a "remote whiteboard" kind of system where we can see what they are writing and they can also see what we're writing. They will have tablets.

In #mathstoday we now have to give a strength and an improvement following assessments when reporting to parents. Anyone got any suggestions for how we can do this without it being VERY time consuming for y12 and y13 maths, FM and core maths

@mathsjem.bsky.social looks like you're not the only one!!
Uh oh, a fake Casio fx991cw! We think the blue tint display on the left hand one is a hint that it’s fake (apart from the answer!!) Anyone else seen these doing the rounds? #ALevelMaths

In #mathstoday I'm marking y12 end of year assessments. If a student has gone from the first circled equation to the next without the underlined part do they get full marks?

1. A story. Please read.
Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit.
I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

Niche request: I am looking for a book extract or could be blog etc that is suitable for Y12 students and deals with consent. I would rather it was about consent *within* a relationship. It is a reading task but pupils will reflect on the piece after, so as relatable and readable as poss.
Pls RT!!
