As revision is coming up, here are some tips that may help guide your young person towards their exams this year. Have you got any you want to share with other parents? #MathsTutor #Exams #GCSErevision #Examtips

Happy Pi Day to all my followers and friends #PiDay #Maths #Tutoring

Happy receiving this feedback from one of my parents today, make speaking about student's additional needs the norm in education #SEND #Mathstutor #Tutoring

Hey @BBCOne just keep inviting @SamRyderMusic back every year for the NYE gig going forward please, he is absolutely smashing it!

@MrLawrenceEng Clarks shoes, your feet will thank you for the future. Matalan for day to day, M&S if you have the money for it (wait for sales)

🤔 Advice needed: Male teachers, what clothes should I be buying for the next year and where should I be buying them? I already have plenty of shoes (comfy ones at that!) #edutwitter

mwilkinson.substack.com/p/the-start-of… Sharing our experiences can help others, I've recently started to share mine in the hope it will help another teacher out there Looking forward to being more active and engaged within the #education network on Twitter

@edsouthall I find learners tend to avoid division, so would probably multiply by 5 instead

Latest blog post: ‘Using Numbers to Highlight Connections’ – Looks at how using the same numbers in a pair of questions can help illustrate the transferability of methods between different problem-types. #teammaths #mathschat ponderingplanning.wordpress.com/2022/04/13/usi…

trying to think about linking topics together in teaching Maths, for example, in a 1.5 hour lesson, I would link nth term and sequences to linear equations to aid retention. What other topic links have you done in your lessons that help learners? #mathscpdchat

@HomesEngland Still no response from Target HCA about timeframes on my review. They said there is no way of contacting you directly? Is this correct?

@HomesEngland Waiting months for any contact from Target HCA, stuck in a flat waiting for review, no timeframe on when likely to have review completed for property and no way of contacting you to discuss. Is there anyone I can talk to? Stuck in a HTB Equity loan agreement!

@MissL_Y6 I had bad symptoms after mine on a Thursday, really tired and couldn’t really function until the afternoon. Hope you’re feeling better now

I’m normally at work by now but I’m currently sat on the sofa with no energy to move. Is tiredness normal after the vaccine? 😴

@EmilyMa22108480 Agreed, they should “in theory” have covered a lot of the skills required, but it’s the access to question where they struggle. It’s a different type of practice needed

@mattmathstutor That’s a City and Guild? FS L2 is more problem solving we found most our students on FS L2 preferred GCSE papers but some love it. FE are resit students so it’s further skills they need to know

A problem solver from a FS Maths L2 paper Where would you begin in teaching learners how to approach in FE? Would the maths skills or the problem solving skills take precedence in your delivery? #Maths #femaths

@jonchristophe Definitely not, not for learners who have come to us with a grade 2!

@mattmathstutor Thanks, not a straightforward question.

@jonchristophe C&G Level 2, I believe this was 5/6 marks

@mattmathstutor Without these skills they don't really have any chance of getting the question correct. Do you know how many marks this was and which exam board?

Calculated grades in 🙌 A huge joint effort from an amazing team of professionals to make it possible. #GCSEs2021

@FeTrotter Thank you for this, I need to know more about English spec, exact resource I was looking for!

I just saw a brilliant tweet from a teacher using stickers for marking with the AOs on and now can't find it. Anybody know who that was? 🤦‍♀️

Ideas for English? Love this!
