@MrBishop_Maths @mathsjem Have you seen securing foundations from @NCETMsecondary? Perfect for low attaining students.

Been tasked with organising intervention for KS3 maths. Currently model: students taken out of some lessons over 8 weeks to do mathletics with non-specialists. Not my idea and I have no input on that. Will have input next year but need some ideas? @mathsjem

🚨Need more revision materials?! Our building block worksheets are perfect for revising key GCSE maths topics. They build core skills and lead into interleaved problem solving.💪 🟣 1-3: buff.ly/EHLnxUY 🟢 4/5: buff.ly/xvheAGA 🟠 6+: buff.ly/XgUMWBy

open.substack.com/pub/100assessm… Starting again with KS3 assessment. What is the purpose?

Schools where behaviour improved under the DfE’s behaviour hubs programme mostly had an 'increased focus on rewarding positive behaviour', an evaluation report says tes.com/magazine/news/…

Updated today hypothesis testing on Maths video site with GeoGebra apps pls share and repost. sites.google.com/view/mathemati…

I created a mini workshop called How To Use An Open Middle Problem that has K-1, 2-5, and 6-12 examples. It includes everything from why you want to use them, how to use them, and how to prepare ahead of the lesson. Learn more here: grassrootsworkshops.com/workshops/how-…

I think the big thing for me is not waiting till the end of the year. Evaluating / debriefing should be done when it is fresh. Thanks for the blog 🙂

@RupertLowe10 You really are a poisonous man who deliberately spreads hate.

A miserable Monday morning. Millions of Brits are dashing around on the school run to get the children ready and to school on time, then off to work for another busy week creating wealth, building opportunities and actually contributing to the economy. Maybe feeling a bit under the weather, definitely not looking forward to the endless traffic which seemingly gets worse every Monday - especially considering how councils how decided to dig up exactly the wrong road at exactly the wrong time of year. Never any workmen around on these council projects, are there? Get wet through in the rain, then straight off to work. As always. The endless slog. It doesn't get any easier, does it? But remember - always remember who you are doing this for. Who we are all supporting through these important tax rises... The illegal migrants, sitting in fancy warm hotels tucking into their fry ups at our expense. They couldn't go without the newest iPhone now, could they? We wouldn't want them feeling at all uncomfortable. I say give them a tent and a bowl of porridge until we can turf them all out... The lazy and indolent, who can't be bothered to do the same as us so they sit on benefits doing absolutely sod all. Drop the kids off at school, then back home for a cup of tea and some daytime TV. Get that dressing gown on. Just brilliant. The foreign families, who rock up on our shores and can immediately live an easy life thanks to the British taxpayer - having more and more children which Brits can't afford. That Somalian family, with eight kids, who now sit on a small fortune every month thanks to lifting the two child cap. Translation at the DWP of course provided, at our expense. Billions in foreign aid, paying for motorways in South America or nonsense DEI projects in Africa. Don't exactly love paying for that, to be honest. But don't forget the pay rises for our vast managerial civil service bureaucracy. I bet they're working from home today. Probably on some experimental four day week, actually. No such luck in the private sector... So yes, please do remember who you're doing it all for. Illegals, lazy foreigners, the indolent, and the work-shy bureaucrats. I am absolutely sick of it all, to be honest. Aren't you?

@ShakinthatChalk No, I’m not sure what it would add

Maths teachers using Sparx. Do you ever take in pupil homework books?

@OctopusEnergy your latest update means the app on iPhone doesnt work. It just crashes.

Just when you think your MP couldn’t sink any lower, he announces he’s joined reform. @danny__kruger, you are a disgrace and finally being honest about your racist, homophobic and misogynistic views. East Wiltshire doesn’t want you, please stand down.

@itvfootball forgetting women’s football exists. Rashford is the first MALE player since Linekar to play for Barcelona and England. Not the first player.

This progression video from Graham Fletcher made me realize that I never REALLY understood division as a kid. I was just a good robot who could repeat the steps my teacher gave me. Now I understand it so much better. Check it out here: gfletchy.com/progression-of…

@Strickomaster My daughter already had issues with school attendance. Without the ‘correct’ brand I wouldn’t have got her out the car! I was annoyed as they switched mid year so I had already bought the school ones.

@Strickomaster My daughters school staring allowing any black joggers rather than the school logo ones. School logo ones £20. I then had to buy the correct brand £40 from Vinted second hand. This does not save parents money.

@GrahamKael @MathsNot I think it is this. Students relentlessly complete past papers and look at mark schemes.

@MathsNot Or it shows the 2025 lot has already seen and done the past paper 2022

Given the similarities between Edexcel’s A level Mathematics Paper 1 in Summer 2022 and Summer 2025, it’s interesting to see the marked increase in performance (and grade boundaries) between the two sessions. It shows, perhaps, what a marked effect lockdown had on the 2022 cohort
