I teach a variation of ac method but use a grid which I think makes it less procedural and more logical:

In #ALevelMaths today we looked at why inverse matrices work, which I am very happy about. I haven’t taught this before and was getting cross at the seemingly random stuff to learn! I didn’t do matrices until my degree and that was a loooong time ago. #MathsToday

Help please. Does anyone have this series of books? We used to in a previous school and I always really liked them, but now can't get hold of them. Anyone know if they are available as pdfs? #mathstoday

#ALevelMaths starts question please. In Binomial dist. questions like this one, are students penalised for using X again in part b) instead of a new random variable letter? Thanks

#ALevelMaths anyone use Numworks calc @numworks.bsky.social ?
It seems to be able to work out nCr for negatives and fractions. How? Presumably by using (n(n-1))/2! etc? But it seems wrong to use the nCr notation?

In #MathsToday I gave my y10 son the same hw I give to my y11s. He did this (xx1 + yy1 = r^2 for eqn of tangent) which I have never seen before, but he learnt it from a friend doing AddMaths. We've just proved it. He's taught me something!

#ALevelMaths help please. Parametrics: I get very similar but not identical answer to Solutionbank (mine contains a negative) and I don't know why as I used a different method. Something to do with the domain? Thanks

First project of 2025: patchwork jarmies for my 16yo nephew (he'll either love them or hate them! 🤣)
Aiming this year to recycle/ reuse rather than buy new fabric
