Mr C Maths

@adamboxer1 Enjoyed listening to this. Thank you. I think our head teacher wouldn’t engage the idea of flexi-lessons as she wouldn’t be able to make it so every member of staff could have one per fortnight so it’s not an option for us. How does your HT make this work/ make it fair?

BACK TO SCHOOL If you're not a regular, make a new half term's resolution to listen in. If you are, make a new half term's resolution to share the pod with a friend 🙏🙏

@AQA Ok thanks

@mathsmrc Good morning. I'm afraid this isn't something we can confirm over social media. If you've waited longer than 2 working days for a response, feel free to contact our Maths Team to chase this for you. You can reach them on 0161 957 3852 - I hope this helps. ^DT

@AQAMaths Just wondering if you’re able to share how many students achieved full marks in GCSE maths this year? And separately how many students achieved full marks in L2 Further Maths? We have one and want to big up his achievement!

@AQA I did try to email but I still wasn’t able to get the information I was looking for even though during the last couple of years all it took was a simple request on here… I have replied to this email (on Friday) and am awaiting a reply.

@mathsmrc Hi. We can provide this information upon request but will need you to place the request via email. You can place this request via maths@aqa.org.uk - I hope this helps. ^DT

@AQA I requested this yesterday and have had no reply today.

@mathsmrc Hi. You can request this information, via our Maths Teams. You can do so by placing your request via maths@aqa.org.uk and we'll seek approval to share the information with you. I hope this helps. ^DT

@AQAMaths That’s a shame. You did last year and the year before!

@mathsmrc Hello Mr C. That's an amazing achievement! Unfortunately though, mark level data isn't something we'd be able to provide. ^MD MD

@AQA The last few years I’ve been able to find out how many students nationally achieved full marks on either GCSE maths (240/240) or L2 Further Maths (160/160). Hoping that information is available this year too…

@mathsmrc Hi. Would you be able to clarify what you're referencing? We're not able to see what your post is tagged to. We look forward to hearing from you. ^DT

@japleen_kaur1 @KerryDunton A mixture depending on the teacher. We use dr frost, integral worksheets, past paper questions etc

@mathsmrc @KerryDunton Thank you. What other independent work do you set if any?

Just wondering how many hours of A level teaching time you get in you schools?  Also,  can anyone share any particularly good practice in what you set students  for  independent work (above just textbook questions etc). Thank you. Please RT...

@OCR_Maths Thanks

@mathsmrc Hello! No, they wouldn't be penalised. In guidance seen on the right is 'BC (accept awrt 0.086 (2sf))', which stands for 'by calculator (accept anything which rounds to 0.086)'. This reminds examiners the value is expected to come from a calculator & so yes, 0.0858 gets the mark.

The Casio Fx-CG50 automatically truncates distribution answers. (You can find the answer to more dp using options and f1). Would a student be penalised for writing 0.0858 instead of 0.0859? @OCR_Maths

@draustinmaths Been using your resources for L2 Further Maths recently. They are excellent. Thank you so much!

Some resources on expanding and factorising to challenge my Year 9 class in today's lesson: ✨Mixed Expanding Single and Double Brackets Practice Strips ✨Harder Factorising with Common Factors Practice Strips #MathsResources #MathsChat #MathsCPDChat

@AQAMaths @1stclassmaths @missradders @MathsImpact @SarahHoff83 Sorry to bring this up again @AQAMaths but is this the type of problem solving question we should do with our students or have you decided this was a mistake, apologized and it won’t happen again? Need to know what to do moving forward…

Having reached out to the marking teams, we've been informed that the last question on 3H (Q24) was intended to stretch the most able students by testing them on their algebraic manipulation skills. Students were expected take a hint from the given form in the question, taking out a factor of 2 first, and then complete the square of the resultant expression in the usual way. Alternatively, students can expand the given form and equate coefficients accordingly.

@AQAMaths wanna explain the last question from today's paper? @missradders @MathsImpact @SarahHoff83 this thread from last year now becomes interesting.

@AQAMaths Thanks for this. Do you know how many students got 160/160 on L2 Further Maths?

@mathsmrc 28 candidates scored 240/240 on GCSE Maths (H) this year. The highest score on Foundation was 235.

@AQAMaths do you happen to know how many students got 240/240 on GCSE Maths (higher) this year?

@MathsNot Looking forward to it! And AQA Level 2 Further Maths I hope!

Join me on Thursday for GCSE Maths, GCSE Statistics and even IGCSE™ Maths results day - with lots of tables and old-school charts!
