So much pupil attention captured (understandably) by predicted grades. So much teacher time spent in the process. All part of an inexact science with an enormous opportunity cost. The failure to reform the system is a striking example of institutional timidity. #MathsToday #ITeachMath #MathSky

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths one of the questions highlighted an issue as lots of them divided by sin X and so lost some of the solutions. Does anyone have a collection of questions I can use to try to drum this out of them?

@ALevelMaths lovely teachers. In Further Maths mechanics- oblique collisions in 2D- I’ve found conflicting definitions of angle of deflection. Could someone clarify which angle do they want? Thanks! @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social @ecrmaths.bsky.social

Just a reminder that if you are about to start teaching #ALevelMaths, this book is available from the Mathematical Association @mathematicala.bsky.social online shop. In my completely unbiased opinion, it's really quite useful.

FS1 teachers. Can you have a two tailed geometric distribution hypothesis test? I can't seem to see them in the edexcel textbook. Can someone clarify and maybe provide me with an example? @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social #ALevelMaths

I would really encourage as many people as possible to complain to Ofqual about the Edexcel Paper 2 (Pearson/Edexcel are in blanket denial of any wrong doing mode). You can either use the Ofqual email addresses given here, or use their website to complain. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths we did a Maths treasure hunt. Someone posted on old Twitter a template some time ago. Nice hard questions for y13 revision. Self checking as you need to find the next clue- and soo nice to be outside! We are so lucky with our college grounds!

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths Revision-I used @catrionaagg.bsky.social normal dist. completing tables- posted some time ago. Lots of sketches- no calculator- then we did conditional probability involving the normal-they found hard questions so much easier! Very grateful for what people share here!

In the classical world, to claim power over the sea was a clear sign of the ABUSE of power: Xerxes having the sea whipped, Roman plutocrats building over it. I think I know what they would have thought about RE-NAMING it!

I wrote today to my MP, James Cleverly, about the cuts to the AMSP. I am not optimistic that much can be done, but you never know. If we could get every maths teacher to write then maybe they might think again. Maybe. #ALevelMaths

#AlevelMaths Hi! Wondering what the consensus is on solving 3TQ in exam? If factorisable show the factorisation? If not show subs in formula? check with calculator. This is what I tell my Ss but is it OTT ?- I find mark schemes ambiguous and they really just want to skip to the roots. Thanks!
