Private tutors handing out locked mark schemes drives me insane! Get some scruples you bunch of clowns!

Anyone had to create a literacy for maths skills sheet / poster? Looking for inspiration! @PixiMaths @MissBsResources @draustinmaths @jemmaths @JaggersMaths @mrbartonmaths @MathsLyndsey @nicole_cozens @Miss_Mathsgeek

Hi all, Congratulations to Miss Johnson and her GCSE Music class who all got grade 4 or above in their exams. When we say “all” of course we mean “both”. As her subject was the only one with 100% of candidates passing, she is now in charge of Teaching and Learning. Thanks x

Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican nominee for president.

Hi all, We have noticed that some classes, after writing the date, title and learning objectives, have no time to actually do any work in lessons. Therefore, we have decided that teachers should get in earlier and write it all in before the day starts. HoDs will check. Thanks x

JD Vance: School shootings are just “a fact of life.” Kids are being killed and he’s shrugging his shoulders. Remember that in November.

@DrFrostMaths just wondering if there's a wonderful end of year quiz in the pipeline??!

@MrsDMaths @mrsd_maths Haha! Thanks!

@MrsDMaths Hi!! I seem to recall you creating A Level KOs where you grouped them into Year 1 and Year 2? Could I be cheeky and ask where they are? Your chapter based ones are on TES but I'm sure I've seen grouped up ones? Many thanks!!

@neiljstewart Same tension for smooth bead. If it were a ball attached then you'd have to consider T(A) and T(B).

FM2 teachers. A horizontal circular motion question. If there is a smooth bead on a continuous string, is the T acting from the bead towards A the same magnitude as the T acting from the bead towards B? I get that the bead would need to be below the midpoint of AB.

@Trudgeteacher @MrDepala @ShakinthatChalk @mathsjem @EmathsUK @Just_Maths I struggle to see how this evaluates impact or success. Do the students just demonstrate that they know what the curriculum looks like??

Hi fellow maths HoDs, curriculum experts, what data could you use to show your curriculum is working or having an impact? Any other thoughts or comments welcome. @mathsjem @robotmaths @EmathsUK @Just_Maths TIA 🙂

@damien_page Nail on the head!! Fear of different opinions and ways of approaching things.

@robotmaths @jemmaths @Just_Maths @mathsjem @missradders @nicole_cozens @Whitehughes Exactly. It's mentioned in the spec and textbook but no condition for the students to go by.

@kj_maths @jemmaths @Just_Maths @mathsjem @missradders @nicole_cozens @Whitehughes Not any more. Even in the official teaching guide there is no value for n, np, or npq suggested.

Anyone know if Pearson use a specific condition for saying "n is sufficiently large" when using normal approx to binomial? Maybe n>50? Or np>5 and npq>5? @jemmaths @Just_Maths @mathsjem @missradders @nicole_cozens @Whitehughes @robotmaths

@mfordhamhistory @jemmaths @isaacmoore7 No overarching whole school policies (actually recognising that departments are different). No reliance on silly initiatives or latest buzz words. Love this.

@mfordhamhistory @jemmaths @isaacmoore7 Wow! How refreshing!! Trust departments to do what they know is best. Trust them to design their curriculum and assessments to do the job they need them to do. Trust that thinking is taking place, learning is probably happening (no emphasis on written evidence).

@primarypercival Pile of shit! Belongs in the bin, along with www and ebi!

Just tidying my desk and wondered if anyone would like a 'Two Stars and a Wish' stamp or shall I cast it into the eternal lake of fire where it belongs?

@nicole_cozens @Sheena2907 @over_drawn Hello! Recovered from MEI Conference yet??? 😂😉

@Sheena2907 @over_drawn Sounds like you need to do TFM2 in January!! Come join!

I'm going to be teaching Edexcel further maths next year and have only taught AQA before. Anything I need to be aware of? Weird Edexcelisms?

@Sheena2907 @over_drawn Use dot product when doing oblique impacts, not the way the book does it!

@over_drawn I've done oblique impacts in aqa but not against a vector plane so will definitely need to take a look at that. My mech subject knowledge is probably my least secure
