Awesome, thank you for taking the time to get back to me.

I have one. If you’re happy to pay the postage you can have it! It is quite heavy though

I was thinking it was similar, as it shows they knew what they were doing & gave an answer I consider full and correct. Apologies if I’ve misunderstood.

For Edexcel, the idea that someone missed a grade because they put £32.5 not £32.50 makes me sad. They’ll be someone somewhere for whom it made the difference.

They’ll need something to do as in our place they do single maths separately, but have already done the single integration, so can work on these independently then

Thanks for these Paddy. Unless you object, my plan is to give them to my 13 FM students and ask them for full written solutions. They need practice explaining their answers/writing fully, so not giving them answers to check will be a nice way of forcing them to write convincingly 😆

Hi Tom. Thanks for all the updates & info on this. Out of interest, what do you think would be the best way forward in terms of grading? I’m struggling to think of any way that doesn’t have substantial negatives…

Tom I appreciate your efforts! I’m not on X, so it was handy for me that you reposted the long thread from there. I basically printed it off and took it to SLT. 🙏

Single maths we do 1st principles as well. It’s new, produces something easy to sell as ‘useful’ & is a good test of their expanding brackets/algebra, so I find sets the tone of the course. Recently not as ‘new’ as I do it for AQAL2 fm, but it’s easy to extend for those that have done it already

We used to offer AS as an option, so are only very slowly introducing some y13 content to Y12. I’ll admit though, it’s a super handy time saver to be able to give an AS paper as an end of year, and with ‘real’ grade boundaries, so we won’t go too far from that for now

A student came to me this morning still unable to log in. Having read your post I sent him a link and it worked, so thank you so much for the heads-up!

No problem, and thank you for the questions you’ve been asking; it’s really interesting to read everyone’s replies 🙂

Click on the ‘list 1-40’ and its number 3, brackets out brackets in

Website is www.risps.co.uk. I’ll find the exact one I mean, one sec

Underground maths:There’s a scary surds one that you might like also, but we save them til the start of year 12. Also a nice quadratics expanding RISP. We actually hit them with diff by first principles. It’s basically expanding brackets and sorts out those who actually want to do the subject.

I’m not familiar with ‘argument’ outside of comp num. If it means the input, I agree with the person who said surely x is the argument of f(x), which could contain multiple operations/inner/outer functions? Could we say then that 5x is the argument of sin, (in this case), rather than the function

We say 991 minimum, and is fine, but the cg50 (100 come September) does make some topics easier, particularly in stats. I then recommend a gcse one as well (duel wielding) because Casio hides combinations, among other things, and it’s just handier for quick calculations.
