Forgot to tag this. In #MathsToday as well as getting my Year 9s to solve linear equations properly, my cover for the Spring Term got advertised. Please share if you know Maths teachers in London looking for work!

I am planning to be out from school for the Spring Term, so if you know any Maths teachers around London looking for work please forward them the link!

In #MathsToday I've been checking GCSE scripts. Annoying on Edexcel 2F question 9 that pupils aren't getting a mark for part ii if they put *exactly* the right answer if they didn't do the corresponding calculation in part i. Feels like the question is set up to deduct marks rather than avoid them.

How has everyone else found the grade boundary increase with Edexcel Maths? Really hit our Higher cohort - don't really know what we should have been doing differently. #MathsToday

Will hopefully be teaching Further Maths this year. Anyone got any sources of resources that they think are useful? Trying to organise my folders at the moment. I've raided the maths emporium and looked at Dr. Frost, but wondering if anyone has any other people/places that they have found useful?

Picard management tip: Debate honestly. The goal is to arrive at the truth, not at your preconception.

IME of visiting lots of schools: this can work really well if:

1. You have a clear purpose for it

2. This purpose is communicated clearly to pupils & staff &

3. The purpose is fulfilled by doing the line ups properly & well (pupils actually line up silently etc).

If not, it’s cargo cult stuff

In #MathsToday we're advertising for a new teacher. I promise that I'm nice to work for! If you're around London and looking for a change of school, please take a look! Or if you're just starting out we've also got a good track record of supporting ECTs in the department.

In #MathsToday I tried out my new visualiser, and return to an old question: Are there any fellow left-handers using one, and how do you stop your hand covering everything you're writing?

In #MathsToday I have a question. Doing probably of combined events with a Year 11 group who we've moved from Foundation to Higher, and they're split over whether tree diagrams are helpful or a hindrance in answering the questions. What do people think?

Going to try the #MathsToday trend! Using place counters to describe decimals with Y7, got Y8s trying to find rectangles with equal value area and perimeter, revising Unit 15 with Y11, and Y12 getting some trigonometry practice, although they were put off by a rogue radians question that appeared!
