#MathsToday #ALevelMaths can anyone help with how you know which approach to take?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Any advice gratefully received. I've not really had anything to do with it before so I can't help him

In #MathsToday I spent time with a student on TMUA questions. His big question was how do you know whether to take an algebraic or graphical approach because if you don't pick the right one you run out of time. Any advice? Also, has anyone collated logic qu from MAT which would be good TMUA practice

#MathsToday not maths so probably should have put #INSETtoday first in 23 September inset days I have ever been to. Today we spent 45 minutes putting together pieces of furniture "because it was a big job for the caretakers, but many hands make light work" 🤦

#MathsToday does anyone know how the extra marks are calculated when a student receives special consideration in an exam? I assumed if they scored 50 and got 3% they found 3% of 50 and added it on but for that to be true all I'm looking at are getting 5% which seems unlikely

Does anyone have any experience of buying from World of Books? My discount codes aren't working and their ChatBot is no use and no one is contacting me when I have requested help with the problem

#MathsToday I've not had a reply from @nicmaths.bsky.social Does anyone else know the answer to my first question if not the second?

#MathsToday Core maths teachers where do you get your lesson resources from, hit me with the best places. Also, where do you send your students to revise CM? Are there any particular websites to direct them to?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

@nicmaths.bsky.social Quick core maths question. Systematic sampling isn't specifically mentioned in the spec. If they give it (or another suitable method they've learned in a different subject) will they still get the marks? Also when will shadow 26 CM papers be released. Thanks

Year 2 Edexcel A Level further maths… point me towards resources that aren’t booklets or books please! I love @draustinmaths.com stuff and have a few Integral resources, but can’t find much else. Please and thank you. #alevelmaths #mathstoday #furthermaths

#MathsToday already got lots of students signing up for AQA L2 FM within minutes of their parents getting the link to the sign up form so it's definitely running next year 🎉 For those of you that run it in your schools, which textbooks do you use?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

#MathsToday any thoughts from anyone who is currently teaching it?

011

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

#MathsToday I'm telling our students tomorrow about L2 FM that they will be able to do next year. Does anyone have any slides they would be willing to share from when they introduced it? Brief content, that sort of thing. Also, textbook recommendations please.

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

@vodafonegroup.bsky.social any idea why I have had no signal at home for the last 2 days, it's getting quite frustrating!!

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

#MathsToday we are hopefully going to run L2 FM again from September. Haven't done it since the new spec. Is there a doc somewhere that lists the parts that are just in FM and which are in the standard GCSE? Could go through spec myself but hoping I don't need to. Also, much change from old spec?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

#MathsToday #AlevelMaths is anyone aware of any specific practical applications for the central limit theorem? I was asked by a student. Thanks

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

#MathsToday #ALevelMaths Any Edexcel A level markers, please advise. In a mechanics paper, if the answer is 1.2 and they write 6/5 as their final answer, will they get the marks or does it have to be a decimal. Would it be different if it was pure?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

#AlevelMaths Can anyone who marks Edexcel A level maths confirm whether if a student can't answer part a so makes up an answer which they then use in part b that they will be able to pick up method marks.

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

#MathsToday can anyone point me in the direction of the document that states minimum teaching hours for GCSE resits. I thought it was changed from hours per week to total hours per year but can't find it now. Thanks

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

#MathsToday it's been a 5 period day and so far 3 hours of parent's evening. Can someone tell me where the E(X^2) formula has come from. My brain won't maths anymore!

In #MathsToday one of my Y13s asked what I thought about him doing maths at uni. He told me he had totally fallen in love with maths so wanted to carry on with it and not do what he had originally applied for any more. He's not an A* student but it was lovely hearing him be so passionate about it 😍

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

#MathsToday I vaguely remember something about AQA doing shadow papers for Core Maths. Did I dream it? If it's true can someone point me in their direction. Thanks

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

#MathsToday I have 12FM tomorrow. I will be starting y13 content after half term. Does anyone have anything nice and maybe a bit different that I could do for an hour. Needs to require minimal planning and be suitable for the full range of ability. All suggestions welcome 🙏

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

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?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

In #AlevelMaths #MathsToday a student asked me if they could be asked to prove the double angle formulae. The spec says "understand geometrical proofs of these formulae" so is that prove them or just be able to follow a proof and maybe spot a mistake? Have there been any questions in the past on it?

In #MathsToday #AlevelMaths I had my last lesson before they sit the CP1 exam next week. One student asked for some more questions like this. Anyone got any I could share with him? Most of the series ones I can find are just Method of Differences. This one is Q7 from CP1 2023. Thanks

In #MathsToday we were discussing Edexcel's AEA papers. I want to use some of the questions with some y12s. Has anyone got a list of which questions are suitable for y12 and which require y13 topics? 🤞

In #MathsToday a student was answering a vectors question in an Integral topic test that asked them to find the eqn of the line of intersection of planes. There is nothing on this in the textbook or in the spec that I can see. Does anyone know if it has/could come up in the exams?

Kerry Dunton @kerrydunton.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

In #mathstoday I received an email saying I can now login to Pearson's ActiveHub. Does anyone who currently uses ActiveLearn know whether I need to move students over now or whether it can wait until the new school year when I'm adding a new cohort anyway?

#MathsToday we have a visually impaired student who uses an ipad. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the calculator on an ipad to give exact answers in terms of pi or as surds or fractions rather than decimals?

In #MathsToday we were discussing the new (but not new new) Casio calc and I seem to remember there was an issue with using shift EXE with ANS as it did something wrong or unexpected. Can anyone remember what it was? It definitely wasn't giving the same ans as when we just pressed EXE with ANS

In #MathsToday a y10 student got very excited cos there was a man on a mini digger working outside. I pointed out that he wasn't 4 so should be past the excitement of seeing different vehicles. His response, but Miss it's a mini digger!! We had to close the blinds 🤦 I didn't share his excitement!!

#MathsToday does anyone know of a basic numeracy package that monitors progress, diagnoses gaps etc that could be used with KS3/4? If it could be run by a non specialist even better.

#MathsToday @ecrmaths.bsky.social @aqaeducation.bsky.social in last year's CM paper students were asked to rep the data from a grouped freq table in a suitable diagram. Previous years CF graph, histogram or freq poly all accepted. This time only CF or hist in m/s. Any reason why not a freq poly?
