Mrs Cheetham (Miss Tarrant)

If you haven’t seen the news, the GCSE formula sheet is back again for 2025, 2026 and 2027. There is a two week consultation period. gov.uk/government/con…

Love these resources with KS3 and 4. So excited to use them with A level, too! Thank you for sharing @draustinmaths

I had some kids with fake casios last year; we didn’t notice for a while until it started giving them incorrect answers using normal distribution! No idea how it was programmed, but quite a problem for a probability module! Advise your A level and #coremaths students!

Who knows what the children have seen on the news or heard at home this week, or over the coming weeks. When we get back to school we must show them the value of tolerance, inclusivity, empathy and respect. Right from day one, in every classroom. Show them what really matters.

@ashleigh_pain Great idea. Very generous of you to offer to share; yes please!

The multi-cultural PPT assemblies I had planned were due out in November. For obvious reasons, these are now first out in September. For all that would like the slides, please let me know.

@missradders @AQAMaths Oh no… the rage is brewing! Won’t get to see the paper until tomorrow, but I suspect I will be in full ‘kicking-off’ mode tomorrow at this rate. So unfair, especially at it gives a significant advantage to level 2 further maths candidates.

@JFT_Maths @AQAMaths It does need fractions.

Hey @AQAMaths completing the square with a>1 isn’t on the GCSE spec. Pupils say you assessed it in today’s paper???

@missradders @AQAMaths Oh I know, I fully agree with you, just wondering if they’ll argue that it didn’t go to fractions so didn’t increase the complexity of the question 🤷🏼‍♀️ as I say, haven’t seen the paper. I’ll be just as cross as you if they’ve assessed something they specifically said they wouldn’t

@JFT_Maths @AQAMaths Well that’s how you do CTS when an isn’t 1 so what’s the point in the guidance? How else would you CTS with a>1 other than factor an out as a first step?!

@ashleigh_pain Yes please! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I am just finishing the new PDF pack of 50+Youth Mental Health and Safeguarding Awareness resources. I will have this ready tomorrow. If anyone wants a free pack for PSHE resources, just me know. Also includes a contents page to help navigate!

@TLMaths I need this! 🤓

Maths backpack anybody?

Stayed awake long enough to join a fantastic @Advanced_Maths #CoreMaths discussion this evening. Always so useful and come away with so many ideas, which I will hopefully put into action as soon as I have the brain power! Thank you @CoreMathsTom @CoreMathsCat and team 😊

log(😅) = 💧log(😁) log(🫅) = log(👑) - log(🧑‍🦰)

Are you in? #HelloYellow

@taylorda01 Yes! And when we look at linear regression, the general accepted format is y=a+bx. Yet when we teach nth term of linear sequences, it’s usually an+b.

y=mx+c is cool and everything, but have you ever looked at a graph of y=2x+5 and thought "y=5+2x makes more sense"? Does y=c+mx potentially make the link between graph and equation more obvious?

@sdwilson27 @montsaye So glad that you’ve enjoyed the first couple of days. All the best for the term ahead, Deb!

First 2 days as the new Principal @montsaye, done. What a great bunch of people, all on the same page: all aiming high, all taking responsibility, all being courageous. Looking forward to the year ahead.

Some pretty terrifying statistics here. How can we better support our young people to access education whilst maintaining positive mental health?

Share from @AuteachA’s Facebook page. The teacher I aimed to be…

@PepsMccrea Snow, wasps and spiders… although my personal favourite was a bird flying in through the window 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

In your experience as a teacher, what things throw a lesson most off track?

@missradders @Ryanair Airlines are only usually bothered about hold luggage, you may be best to contact the airport directly. However, if you have meds in original packaging (with your details on) or a prescription/doctors letter, then they’re usually fine for you to take what you need in hand luggage

Is there an easy way to contact @Ryanair that isn’t a chat bot? I have a very specific query regarding medications in baggage before I book flights today and their 10 day wait time is too far away?? Most help links on their site returning error pages. So frustrating Anyone?
