Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

🧵 Next year my team have requested CPD on using tech in lessons. eg Geogebra/ Desmos/ AI.
QUESTION 1. Can you help me by pointing me in the direction of good resources that will help me plan sessions for them on these? I’m not a technophobe but it’s not something I do enough either.

Calling all Maths teachers!
What are some of your all-time great tasks for secondary Maths?
Ones that could have their place in any curriculum, one that should be studied in PGCE courses, ones that started whole new genres of tasks...
... or just ones you really like.
(see some of mine below)

If you're with Edexcel and haven't done this, I'd encourage you to do so!
We're with AQA but it's certainly put a stop to any conversations in our department about switching boards!!

If you haven't already, please do contact Ofqual to complain about Edexcel. Email addresses: complaints@ofqual.gov.uk, Public.Enquiries@ofqual.gov.uk. And think very carefully about which exam board you are going to use for A level Maths in future; Edexcel have a very bad track record #ALevelMaths
We mustn't just let this slide as we head towards the summer holidays. I do not know the author(s) of this account but I agree with their feelings and so will share.

Rather concerned by the AQA #CoreMaths paper 2A today suggesting that students need to show their working for a normal distribution probability. If students have used a calculator (as the spec seems to suggest is a valid option), how would 6 marks be awarded for this?
