@1stclassmaths I would encourage a student to check their inequality signs made sense. If it was a teacher I'd have a quiet word - maybe they could use it as a starter to spot the error, and proof to their class they are only human.

What would you say to a student who produced this answer? What would you do if teacher in your dept wrote this on the board for students to copy down?

Just a bookseller, standing here, pleading journos to remember that children's books can and should be included in your book of the year round ups 💕

.@Marist_Sport I had the opportunity to touch a Paris 2024 gold medal earlier in the week. An old girl of my new school won in the rowing! Good luck at Condover.

Hot off the press 📷 Yesterday was a day to remember as we officially opened our new Wellbeing Centre, St Raphael’s! A huge thanks to Olympic Gold Medallist - and former pupil - Emily Craig for joining us and making the event extra special.

Mathematics. Triangular array within a hexagon. How many triangles do you count? (Won't it be interesting to see how many different answers are offered?)

@Georgin10536228 @MathsNot @mathsjem You have to consider the cost of exam fees, if you are doing it for everyone. Plus grades achieved will have to be declared on UCAS forms and less of the y13 content covered which could impact those doing admissions tests/interviews.

Considering implementing AS external exams in Year 12 for all students studying A level Maths A level, instead of internal end of year exams. Does anyone else do this? Pros? Cons? @MathsNot @mathsjem

@MathsNot @suffolkmaths But is it fair to ask them to look at a question you think should have more marks whilst ignoring the one where they've overmarked?

@suffolkmaths Exam boards do tend to fall back on “we’ve never done it that way before” but the Access to Scripts service changes the nature of re-marks; a lot of re-marking is now done which isn’t really necessary

Now that the other exam boards have (finally) caught up with Pearson’s Access to Scripts service, there’s a case for allowing teachers to ask for re-marks/reviews of specific marks for, say, £5 per mark (refunded if grades change) 1/2

What are you currently reading? I'm definitely more of a non-fiction reader but love the escapism of fiction too. Currently reading "Rest: Why you get more work done when you work less" and "The Forty Rules of Love" by @Elif_Safak #bookworms

@Sheena2907 @neileley Sounds like those students who insist 1 cm² =10 mm² (even after being shown a diagram proving its 100 mm²).

If you enlarged a duck so it was 100 x bigger, would it still be able to fly?

What will my students think of my new summer buzz cut?! Heading to school now! Fun @GMB debate with hosts @kategarraway @edballs & 2024 Apprentice finalist @trelowe 🗣️ Should there be a Bank Holiday if England win #Euro2024? I was the economic grinch and said no 🙅🏼‍♂️
Good Morning Britain@GMB

England fans are calling for a bank holiday to celebrate Gareth Southgate's squad making the Euros 2024 final this Sunday. But the government estimates that an extra bank holiday would cost the economy around £2BN. Should there be a bank holiday on Monday? Tre Lowe and @Bobby_Seagull debate.
