I’ve been asked to create a Maths round for a University Challenge style competition at school. I want to include questions for non A Level students, and some using A Level Maths (not FM). Some fun/interesting questions also would be good. Any suggestions?? #ALevelMaths

I’ve repeated the phrase “if it’s tricky, draw a piccy” a lot this term. I’m so pleased to see my students using it on their assessments to justify answers/reasoning. I’ve been focusing on graphing technology and multiple representations in my teaching so it’s great to see it having an impact. ☺️

My 5 year old nephew was showing me his cars and asked me which my favourite was. Apparently, choosing number 6 because it’s perfect a good enough reason.

#mathstoday (well yesterday). A colleague saw me playing with this awesome GeoGebra file from @sparksmaths.bsky.social. Led to a great pedagogy discussion and sharing the file with the entire dept. I then used it with my sixth form class who now know understand why tan is the tangent ☺️ #ALevelMaths

I have my #ALevelMaths feed but want to ask some KS3 advice (around assessment). Any suggestions of feeds to follow/ask? Thanks.

Thanks Integral (@meimaths.bsky.social) this followed by Teddy Bear (Underground Maths) created a brilliant lesson focussed on problem solving, reasoning discussion, and method efficiency! Great as part of a dept meeting too! #alevelmaths

Loving the process of planning yr12 quadratics. Wonderful resource from @meimaths.bsky.social Integral, @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social & @mrsouthernmaths.bsky.social. Wonderful resources to make it easy to plan for problem solving and modelling without endless exercises. ❤️ #alevelmaths

Having praised it so much at the #AMSPSummerSchool, I decided to re-read Thinkers. #ALevelMaths So many great ideas! Also with coffee since I remember it being suggested that caffeine (and cake) powers maths!

Smashing the preconception that maths is a collection of unrelated ideas. Or that there is a single linear route through the specification. #ALevelSummerSchool

Discussion in A Level classroom isn’t easy. Lots of thoughts about its benefits and how to facilitate it effectively. #AMSPSummerSchool

Great to see so many fantastic questions and conversations about how dynamic geometry can be used to deepen understanding. #AMSPSummerSchool.

Very excited to be on my way to #AMSPSummerSchool with @vwheelhouse.bsky.social. Looking forward to meeting lots of new teachers and lots of #ALevelMaths.
