I’ve been asked about the suitability of GCSE Statistics as an early entry option. Anyone had any experience of doing this? #mathstoday

It's that time of year again - your annual reminder that if you're a Maths teacher and looking for suitable resources for your classes across KS3 to KS5 then do check out www.draustinmaths.com. The site is five years old this week 🎉🎉 and in that time it's amassed over 1000 resources! 1/3

Just a reminder that if you are about to start teaching #ALevelMaths, this book is available from the Mathematical Association @mathematicala.bsky.social online shop. In my completely unbiased opinion, it's really quite useful.

Calling all Maths teachers!

What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths?

Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks...
... or just ones you really like.

(see some of mine below)

Light bulb moment when looking at OATMaths resouces on solving simultaneous equations by elimination - using zero pairs/identical pairs to decide if you add or subtract - makes so much sense! Used that language with Y10 & they picked it up so quickly. Thanks @jemmaths.bsky.social & team #mathstoday

Inspired by @draustinmaths.com chapter in "If I could tell you another thing" and have had a go at creating my own prerequiste knowledge check for simultaneous equations (foundation tier) would be interested in any feedback/tweaks before using it with students next week

The latest TikTok predicted paper scam is a made up "5 year rule". I've found out these companies are making tens of thousands of pounds by lying to students about their "predictive methods". Make sure your students are clued up:

I have done an OAT Maths curriculum update in a while, what with not really going to the other place much. We’re getting close to finishing the five years now. Just released GM8 Surface Area and Volume and a gorgeous unit* on quadratic graphs and equations (A12).

*Yes, I mean gorgeous.

In my role of KS5 Maths Coordinator, a passion project of mine over the last 3 years has been to launch A-Level Statistics at my school. I successfully launched and now have two cohorts studying towards their A-Level Stats. As is known, there aren't a lot of resources out there so ... #alevelmaths
