📣 Another #mathsconf40 workshop announcement! ✨ Challenging and Engaging Key Stage 3 Mathematicians by Jo Morgan @mathsjem Recent reports suggest that some talented mathematicians lose interest in maths at Key Stage 3, noting that “higher-attaining students are too often deprived of novelty, challenge, and stretch.” In this workshop, we’ll explore how to keep mathematically capable students engaged and motivated. Drawing on real classroom practice, we’ll share strategies for curriculum design, lesson planning, and assessment that provide meaningful challenge without sacrificing accessibility. ✨ What you’ll take away: ✅ Approaches to provide challenge for higher-attaining KS3 students ✅ Examples of curriculum, lesson, and assessment design ✅ Strategies to maintain engagement and motivation ✅ Practical ideas to stretch students while supporting their understanding Leave inspired with actionable ideas to ensure all your KS3 mathematicians remain curious, challenged, and engaged.

This is the start of the series for A-level Maths Revision. Hopefully you'll be able to use some of these questions with your own students. Part 1: Quadratics and Discriminant. Bedrock of A-level Maths. Enjoy! #alevelmaths @mathsjem (I'm sure you'll like q3!)

@shastonchick We make our own topic tests using questions from a range of sources. I'm not sure about ready-made topic tests. I guess a lot of school use the tests that accompany their SoW e.g. White Rose. AQA's GCSE topic tests are great and the Foundation ones might be suitable for KS3.

@mathsjem Hi Jo, sorry I have another question I hope you can help with. Can you suggest a good resource for Year 7 and 8 end of topic tests?

@MEIMaths Hi. My colleague has received permission to attend this but we can’t figure out how to book him a place! Are bookings open? Thanks.

The MEI Conference 2026 is on 2-3 July at Keele University. Join us for two days of collaboration, networking and education with experienced maths teachers and professionals. Find out more: buff.ly/Upl2Dkr #MEIConf26

Circle Theorems Worksheet now uploaded. Let me know how the students find it! I filmed myself teaching it too so would make a perfect revision homework / cover lesson. static1.squarespace.com/static/67560f5…

The days of GCSE pupils memorising equations and formulae from memory are now officially over. Schools minister Georgia Gould has written to Ofqual to say that "for the lifetime of the current GCSE specifications in these subjects, students should not be required to memorise formulae and equations for assessment purposes." Dumbing down or common sense?

So - does anyone have a list of good YouTubers for #ALevelMaths and #ALevelFurtherMaths? I’m trying to collate a list but don’t want to reinvent the wheel… @Advanced_Maths @MathsWebb @mathsjem

@shastonchick Hi! We don’t use exit tickets, but we have something similar - low stakes short tests (c5 mins) that students mark themselves. We don’t use a specific resource - it’s normally just a couple of short exam style questions on the topic we’re teaching.

@mathsjem Hi Jo, can you suggest good resources for exit tickets? I saw them in your exercise book video. Love the treasury tags! 🥰

Great Harris Inset today. I attended sessions on Casio CG100, A level marking and university entrance tests. All very helpful. Then I went out for drinks with my lovely team. I’m very pleased half term is here! I plan to catch up on a lot of sleep. 💤

@matthen2 Nice visualization of the Euclid algorithm! I've also seen it with rectangles where you keep removing the smaller square, but I think I like this more.

need to find the greatest common divisor of two numbers? just fold them on top of each other until you can't any more!

@adamboxer1 Makes me think of Asimov’s 1951 short story The Fun They Had. johnspence.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

The idea of my child being educated predominantly via AI gives me the chills An education denuded of life, meaning, and joy. No thanks.
