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...

Very interesting. In UK exams they must use correct language for credit in exams, including ‘alternate segment theorem’, ‘angles in the same segment are equal’ and more

Agreed this strategy is good- wish they’d rename it to something like the chord-tangent theorem

Are you a teacher in the US? I believe you may refer to this angle rule differently. The phrasing is exactly what our students find tricky- I don’t think it’s a very good name but it’s what they need to know.
These are pairs of angles and their partner in the alternate segment

The two lines of text is really weird.
Nice to know there's an option out there that you can still type naughty words on in the blocky text, though.

I did this with a class and nobody got anything that worked the whole lesson. Then one kid went home and wrote some code that brute forced every combination and found every working combination!
