Looking for some ideas. Most of Year 10 are out on a trip. I have a lesson with a handful who didn't go from the whole year group. Last lesson Friday.

In #MathsToday we practiced differentiating polynomials before moving on to start looking at determining if a function is increasing, decreasing or stationary at a point.

Course: AAHL
Year/Session: 2024 May TZ1
Paper 1 Score 65/110   Paper 2 Score 53/110   Paper 3 Score 27/55   IA Score 12/20

And the output
Paper 1 Weighted: 17.73/30
Paper 2 Weighted: 14.45/30
Paper 3 Weighted: 9.82/20

Mocks coming up? I have a tool that helps get the timings straight when there are multiple exams, and extra time thrown in too. In IB we do 30 minute and 5 minute announcements, not sure about GCSE and A-Level? Can either be on screen or printed like this. tutor.interactive-maths.com/exam-timings
A table with columns for the time, examples, students affected and announcements for running exams. It shows the regular time announcements and 10% and 25% extra time announcements for two exams, and the timings for these announcements.

I really do think that colour is helpful to identify steps in multi stage problems. But there is also scope to use it to link parts of a solution to the words in the question.
Solution to a question on finding the equation of the perpendicular bisector of points (4,-3) and (-2,7). Use of colour to highlight how parts connect to the question words.
