@ArborEdu Is it possible to input data for two-tiered assessments during a single data drop on your summative marksheets? For example for cohorts where some students are doing higher and others foundation papers?

@MsLimbada @RossBritton @SparxMaths Ah yes this blog is really helpful! Read it a couple of days ago and I've already started planning to integrate homework and classwork.

@MsSandsMaths @RossBritton @SparxMaths Some solutions suggested here. Perhaps worth a read/watch? eedi.substack.com/p/is-maths-hom…

What are other schools doing to stop or discourage students using AI tools to do their homework on @SparxMaths or similar platforms? Please retweet for a wider reach.

@hartmaths @MrBMaths3 @SparxMaths We used to do that when students used Hegarty but phased it out with Sparx due to the inbuilt bookwork checks. Maybe it's time to bring it back. Do you sanction students if they have done the homework on Sparx but not in their booklet?

@MsSandsMaths @MrBMaths3 @SparxMaths We issue students with a workbook where we expect them to write all their homework out - we know it doesn’t completely stop students using AI however it tries to reduce students taking a photo on GauthMath etc, inputting the answer and not thinking about the question at all

It was my turn at work to do Thought For The Day and normally I think of my own but today I just read out every word of this banger of a blog from @tstarkey1212 stackofmarking.wordpress.com/2016/01/10/qui…

🧵 THREAD! Since introducing these one-pagers in my school in 2022, I’ve seen teachers’ engagement with evidence informed ideas sky-rocket. Teachers are time-poor, so distilling important ideas into an easily digestible format offers a practical solution. Here are 7 ways one-pagers support educators…

So the ‘woke’-bashing ⁦@DailyMailUK⁩ lays into ⁦@nationaltrust⁩ again. For doing a bit more to tackle climate change. To be clear we are not banning meat or anything like it, just having a look at making some sensible reductions. RT or like if you stand with us.

Ms Haq showed me there was no ceiling on what I or my friends could achieve. She set high standards and saw no reason we should not meet them. This is the difference great teachers make. That's why we start now fixing the recruitment & retention crisis. schoolsweek.co.uk/education-secr…

Beautiful questions like these are why I use @mathspad all day everyday. You can’t answer them without understanding, but they’re not too difficult. I love @mathspad so much. And I will keep shouting that from the rooftops.

@AdamHighcliffe behaviour, routines, curriculum etc are made to support their most vulnerable learners. Rules and routines can be and are applied with care and inclusively. A lot of pupils with SEND benefit from this.

@AdamHighcliffe ...have SEND themselves. A class of 30 students isn't the right environment for everyone to be educated in. Also I've visited schools with these kind of behaviour policies (silent corridors etc) and honestly was taken aback at how inclusive they are. Most decisions around (2/n)

From the toxic storm raging on #EduTwitter, and the debate around behaviourism in schools, a question has emerged. I call it the 29 Question. What is it? Why is it so problematic? And what does it reveal about the people who use it? A short-ish 🧵

Does anyone know when today's Edexcel GCSE Maths paper 1 will be available on Emporium? @MathsNot @PearsonEdexcel

Hey #CoreMaths teachers. Here's a ridiculous graph (from Telegraph). Clearly 20-24 yr olds will have shorter tenure in their current job (none of them can have over 20 yrs working there!). Some 20-24s will only have been on the job market for a couple of years.

I imagine there’ll be some interest in this - make sure your voice is heard! gov.uk/search/policy-…

Great task- it's so common to get these concepts confused.

Mathematics and mystery. Shiver in ecstasy. The circle that fits precisely inside a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle has an area of π. OMG.
