Been using AI to make A-Level questions as starters for Y12 lessons, which it seems very good at. Worked solutions are great too

I've collated some data from UCAS for the top 25-ish universities that our students (from the Hull area) progress to to study STEM subjects, comparing the published entry criteria, the most common grade profile for students currently on the course, and the lowest grades of a student on the course...

In #mathstoday overheard a year 10 leaving our Underground Maths ECA say to his pal ‘I’m getting smarter every week!’ 🤩
Can recommend using the website for an extra curricular. Its layout is fun and the resources are ideally scaffolded to allow them do most of the exploring themselves.

Introduced my Year 7s to solving equations this week. Made a worksheet to focus on the single skill of identifying the inverse operation for each one-step equation. It also got students used to writing the operation on BOTH sides.

Y13 did their first set of integration looky-likeys in #MathsToday. Looking forward to lots more of this in the next few weeks!

The last one was a bit mean (I put it there to slow down the fast finishers) but they did manage it when I gave them the right substitution. #ALevelMaths

There are a number of ways of expressing the domain of a function and hopefully they're all covered here in this new multiple-choice exercise. Choose the level consistent with your syllabus.

The main aim of this session was really to get teachers using this framework to discuss which representations they would use and when. But colouring in is always a bonus.

An interactive version of the representations is here: www.desmos.com/calculator/3...

In #MathsToday I made 40 A Level teachers colour in representations of the binomial distribution.

This is your regular reminder that if you teach #ALevelMaths you should definitely try to join your local Maths Hub’s A Level Pedagogy group. There is some brilliant stuff going on all over England.

Lecturer said “the only way to get good at this is to do lots and lots of them”.
NO!!
Just doing them isn’t enough! You have to THINK about them. Take note of what made each problem different or similar to the others. Take note of when a choice made it hard or easy. Take note when you’re improving.
