Im guessing they want some consistency 🤔
They could just as easily split the results into bottom 10%, next 20%, middle 40%, ...

Perhaps just add some harder questions to lower the peak. I guess the rationale is to identify the very best and those needing support 🤔

Interesting read but I dont see an example that can't be taught without algebraic division. You say point 1 is wrong. Why?

Can you give examples to back this up pls

Good idea, planning on using them to refresh skills rather than tests. I'll take a look 🙂👍

We used them for supplentary questions but still use the brown and blue ones which the students buy and we buy back at half price and sell next year. CGP were a lot cheaper and could be used with the teacher having the blue/brown books to supplement?

I can see this would be the case if the subjects are taught in parallel but is it the case if Maths sat in yr12 and fm in yr13?

I believe in that case you can use the calculator, in the same way that it solves simultaneous equations or does binomial or normal distribution calculations

I think this depends upon the wording of the question, sometimes it says use factor theorem, or algebraic methods

I didn't note that point of intersection was at the point of inflection, so spent more time on this than I should 🙃
