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

This is fantastic. I’ve started writing it on windows (with windows pen). I’m wondering how long it’ll be before I’m asked to take it down. The younger kids are also enjoying it now though.

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.
