It’s a small percentage of students who resit more than twice (and should we admire them for their resilience?) - so most of them aren’t on an “endless cycle”

Maths peeps ... do you use the word "vertically" when teaching opposite angles? I know they're not vertical in the usual sense but are they vertically opposite because they share a vertex? (or have I misremembered that!) #maths

But let’s be honest the formula sheets are shite. …. I found this on an exam boards actual training slides (not based on a case study) but by an actual member of the support team about making the most of the formula sheet (ironically for foundation tier) it said the below.

I don’t know … I’ll do a proper comparison later … but definitely worth taking if considering a change. They don’t include a list of marking principles in their mark schemes either!

JustMaths Mel @justmaths.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Yeah. Knew that one. Just not the same key stage and also vast majority of questions are 1 markers so would fall under the choice of answer anyway (award lowest)

Interesting different approaches to crossed out work … one of these is from a document published by Eduqas and the others from recent markschemes from AQA, OCR and Pearson. Wonder if the other boards will follow suit ? PS I hope not. #maths
