#gcsephysics teachers. Help! I’ve just started at a new school teaching Maths, but I have 2 physics classes as well, and the resources are fairly nonexistent.
Where do you recommend I look for lessons on Waves (yr 9/10).
TIA

a lot of people are aware that you can factor
2025 = 45²

i'm honored to announce the factorization
2026 = (45-i)(45+i)

If you were given a choice of two Further Maths modules (FP1, FP2, FS1, FS2, FM1, FM2, D1, D2), which one would you
a) study as a student
b) teach as a teacher
as your top two?
Interested to hear this as a few of my Y12 FM students are asking for option changes!

Wrote these for my yr12 pures over the weekend off the back of an assessment. They were struggling with making decisions about how to use information, so made everything revolve around two points. Also threw in some ‘find k’ vs ‘find in terms of k’. #MathsToday

Today’s Y13 starter - I really like how c & d can be solved either by changing the inequality and using the original distribution, or by transforming the distribution and using the original values. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

My Further Maths class are struggling with proof by induction series summations -- I've put together a backwards faded task.

Not written up solutions but available to download as a pdf and editable .pptx here :

Two normal distribution tasks that worked really well in Y13 #ALevelMaths #MathsToday:

The 1st was a great informal intro to transforming variables.

The second was a good reminder that a graphical calc can’t do everything - you still have to think first, and input something it will cope with!
