@VinculumL @missradders @vinculumL I would absoutly love copies of these - any chance I can dm you my email addesss for them ?

@missradders I don’t know if you would find it useful but I have the 4 Pearson Pure and Applied yr1 and yr2 textbooks as pdf files if you want them. They have publication date of 2017 but are still totally relevant now. Covers are like this:

I’m looking for suggestions for offline self-mark homework for A Level maths… Anyone have any? RTs appreciated.

3/n am I right that students no longer need to know how to differentiate arcsin arccos and arctan

1/n do students need to know the proofs for the quotient rule, product rule and chain rule ?

Would anyone be kind enough to answer a few quick questions on the A-level Edexcel spec for me? Read the spec so many times I’m in a circle! @Whitehughes @robotmaths @Sheena2907

2/n do students need to know proofs for differentiating trig functions (tanx cosecx secx and cotx) what about tanKx etc ?

@primaryteachew I would love a copy of these will DM you my email addesss

✨ YEAR 6 - YEAR 7 TRANSITION ✨ Having worked in both primary and secondary, here are some resources I created to help the process:

@Rose_Rover @missradders @TheMathsBazaar @MathsNot Might be worth saying where you are based and looking for teachers from local schools who teach FM to see if they can scribe …. Poor lad though I would find that so hard I’m rubbish at ‘maths aloud’ and have so much of it in muscle memory

Advice please. One of my year 13 further mathematicians has broken his arm and cannot write . What are our options? A laptop is no help. A scribe who is not a mathematician will have no clue! Help! @TheMathsBazaar @MathsNot

Such an amazing website - thank you for all the work you do :)

@MrsGusMaths @CantabKitty @Advanced_Maths I would look at timetabling and classes generally, whoever gets 11 set 1 this year doesn’t get a level, but can get it next year etc …. Split so in each yr group you have an experienced teacher and less experienced teacher

@CantabKitty @Advanced_Maths Thank you. Next year we will have our first year 13s. This year, myself (HOD) and 2iC taught A Level, but next year, I have 5 staff wanting to teach is all with no experience. I’ve already offered AMSP support to anyone who does teach it, but how do I decide who gets to teach it?

Does anyone have new Maths staff/ staff new to teaching A Level Maths take a sort of placement test to assess proficiency in content knowledge? If so, what do you use? Just a past paper? Please RT @mathsjem @Corbettmaths @MrMorleyMaths

@MrsGusMaths @mathsjem @Corbettmaths @MrMorleyMaths I mean I did past papers myself and realised how little I had remembered (I had quite a break between my a level and starting to teach a level) but I had the professional integrity to get myself up to speed before teaching it!

@MrsGusMaths @mathsjem @Corbettmaths @MrMorleyMaths I would have hated this, and probably would have not done well though my feedback and results as an a-level teacher have been very good! AMSP courses giving them time to get to know the course and support would surely be far better ….

@pepemac27 @MathsImpact Very true in teaching as well, the odd tenner being spent here and there by teachers as it’s just far to much admin to get it approved, but at the end of the day I bet it’s a significant cost teachers are spending

This little VGA to HDMI adapter represents so much of what disappoints me working in the NHS. A thread: 1/

@originalcotts could I please have a reply to my email, not about to DM you as not a verified account so can you please DM me so I can give booking ref etc

@Just_Maths Ohh thank you will take a look

@headofmaths1 christianaid.org.uk/get-involved/s…

Whole school events - any ideas? For very small school (Approx 40 students per year) all girls yr7-11 We are wanting to do some more ‘whole school activities’ - we currently do house events which involve all girls and girls working together across year groups but want to (1/n)

Looking at creating some ‘drop down’ sessions throughout the year to bring the whole school together with a PHSEE focus - with different groups of girls working together. Thank you !

more with a PHSEE focus - with girls across year groups working together Any ideas ? For example we are celebrating empathy week next week - what have people done ‘whole school’ other than assemblies for weeks like this (2/3)

@AbbyMathsFan @StudyMaths @mathsjem @1stclassmaths @Arithmaticks Love this and very interested in the replies

Does anyone have a go to for iGSCE maths resources? Especially any exam style stuff? @mathsjem @1stclassmaths @StudyMaths @Arithmaticks pls retweet

@DeputyGrocott I have some very very basic ones if you want - drop me your email address and I can send them to you over the weekend

Has anyone got a sheet with rectilinear shapes on with missing sides for the children to work out? I need some more for more practise but can’t find any on the internet web.

@mikelavelle93 Clearly Mollie believed they were both faithfuls she was basically saying who she would prefer to split the money with - she didn’t think there were any traitors left ….. she didn’t believe Jazz’s theory that Harry was a traitor - doesn’t mean she though Jazz was one.

The country when Mollie voted to banish Jaz even though him choosing to banish again if he was a Traitor made zero sense #TheTraitors
