Teaching circumference of a circle to Y9 in #MathsToday and enjoyed a bit of “always, sometimes, never”. Loved the discussion that this created and the thinking of is it/is not examples

This has been my worry all along with the breakfast club nonsense. You can talk about funding all you like, the long and the short of it is that school leaders end up with another job on the list, another extension to their working day, and the job becomes ever harder...
And this is from DfE advice!

Hi Maths folk, does anyone know of handy booklets to use for A-level maths intervention? Hoping for something that has questions that are easier and then build up to more exam style? Thanks for any help (also anything for Alevel FM would be appreciated)

In #MathsToday I did this as a starter on estimation.
With the aim of getting pupils to consider which counters are the 'significant' ones.

Needed a new project so I’ve decided to make worksheets and accompanying videos to review each Unit of the GCSE Maths course. Unit 1 Higher (Number) just went LIVE on YouTube. I actually think these would be really powerful as a cover lesson. Bit.ly/gcsemathsH1Vid

Did you know I've been working on A-level content? I've managed to cover all of year 1 statistics now including in depth videos (a little over 6 hours worth), exam questions and solutions on each topic (117 full exam questions in total). All free, of course.

For the first lesson in #CoreMaths I like to get students to look at some recent news articles and do a bit of Fermi estimation using the figures.
The news is a bit bleak at the moment, but here are a few articles I've spotted this week - feel free to add suggestions to the thread!
