#coremaths Anyone else teach AQA core maths 2A? Disappointed and surprised to see in qstn8b) 6 marks given for a normal dist qstn to find a probability between 2limits. We only taught students how to do this using the dist mode on calc, which will not get full marks. Did this catch anyone else out?

Anyone else teach AQA core maths 2A? Very disappointed and surprised to see in qstn8b) 6 marks given for a normal dist qstn to find a probability between 2limits. We only taught students how to do this using the dist mode on calc, which will not get full marks. Did this catch anyone else out?

Help please! Our Further Maths students sit A level Maths in yr12, then F Maths in yr13. If a student gets less than a B (very rare) in yr12 we tell them they can't continue with F Maths and so must resit A level maths in yr13. I'm told by exams officer this is no longer allowed. Is this right?

Help please! Does anyone know if this year's Maths GCSE November resit students get the same formula sheet given for last summers exams? I would assume so, but can't find confirmation on any official websites.

I like the idea, later in the year, of students saying things to each other like "how many marks did you drop on INANEs on that past paper?" or me deliberately making these mistakes and asking students to "spot the INANE." Does anyone else have this problem? If not, does anyone have the solution?

Looking at scripts, trying to find extra marks for students is a depressing task. They can do the maths, but drop marks on technical, annoying things. I'm determined to help my students this year by labelling this INANE (Infuriating Non Algebraic or Numerical Error) in their work during the year.
