@mathsjem @DagsMaths @DrBennison 🤣 it was a fab day! thank you @LaSalleEd

including @DagsMaths and @DrBennison. Thank you to everyone who came to my workshop, which I think went well despite the lights switching off… 💡 And the end of the day was hilarious, with the funny raffle and then us all being locked out the car park 2/3

Had such a lovely day at #mathsconf36. Massively enjoyed all the sessions I attended (thanks @robeastaway @blatherwick_sam @Teach_Solutions). Really fantastic workshops. Wanted to go to @Just_Maths workshop but it was full! Lovely to catch up with so many people 1/n

With mock exams around the corner for many schools, here’s how you can standardise exam marking across your department or trust. alcmaths.wordpress.com/2023/11/09/mod…

@nathanday314 @StudyMaths oh and if you know the top sum is a + 3b + 3c + d of bottom then you've got binomial expansion right there

@nathanday314 @StudyMaths but in my photo we did the top row first and we spotted the cubes - I should have pointed out the cubes were the sum of the ratio, for the row underneath we should have started with the cube at the top and done splitting into the ratio... this is my thinking about how i'd adapt

@nathanday314 here's an image

@nathanday314 oh that's cool - I was doing something like generalising 2 with the class after this but I was introducing it as "I've got this new rule and any two blocks side by side need to be in the ratio 1:2" now I've been thinking about how I'd do this again and this is a thought

@MathsNot good article LDS is not fit for purpose.

The toughest challenge is to get consensus on what a successful A level Maths qualification would look like tes.com/magazine/analy…

there was a resource that I'm sure was @MrCowardMaths where it had converting between fractional index form and power/root form... anyone got a link?

As the new school year dawns... do you want to develop your curriculum thinking at A-level? Join the workgroup I'm leading... (happy to answer an Qs people may have!)

Next year I am leading the EMS Developing A-level pedagogy workgroup. I'm aiming for this work group to be looking in depth at A-level curriculum coherence both from KS4 to KS5 and across the A-level. If you're in Leics/Northants and are interested: emsmathshub.org.uk/professional-d…

Booking is now live for the Virtual Conference, Saturday 5th October 2024, 9:30 to 13:15. The day will be packed with high quality CPD sessions with something for all levels of Teaching from Early Years to KS5 and beyond. Prices start from £20. All Welcome bit.ly/confenews

@WeAreTheOverlap @draper_rob @jonawils love the show etc.

@WeAreTheOverlap @draper_rob @jonawils however I'm struck that in the episode you say spice boys because the spice girls were a big pop group at the time, -yet- the fa cup final proceeds spice girls first single, so presumably the moniker was later applied when looking back at that final?

In the latest, It Was What It Was episode with @draper_rob, & @jonawils we continue to explore Liverpool’s epic 4-3 win over Newcastle in 1996! ⚽️ Listen here ➡️ bit.ly/3WYdG2N
