In #Mathstoday during #ALevelMathsz a pupil asked about why cot(pi/2) = 0 and this provoked a good oracy discussion about the definition of cotangent.

After a wonderful breakfast with @atulrana.bsky.social, a beautiful short journey in to Maghull for #Mathsconf41 @lasalleed.bsky.social Though we did go through the late walk of shame! 😂

I'll be doing this during period 5 (last session before #MathsConf41 ends)! This presentation should hopefully deliver powerful discussions to all participants on why we should use multiple choice questions in #ALevelMaths So the big question is: Should all exam boards adopt this and why?

How effective are these multiple choice questions? See if you can figure out which papers / qualifications these are from! Find out more in my talk - this is on Sat 5th September in Liverpool! Get your tickets here: completemaths.com/community/ma... #ALevelMaths #Mathsconf41

Fascinating that multiple choice papers for A Level Maths were existence from June 1978 (almost 50 years ago) and it being running right up to January 1993 before it stopped. Find out more about its usefulness for our current A Level Maths / Further Maths syllabus in my talk on #Mathsconf41

What a year! An honour to share with workgroup leads and the @ncetm.bsky.social with the impact that we have brought to raise attainment for all using teaching for mastery at #ALevelMaths. My thanks go to my school, to GLOW Maths Hub, and to many others (you know who you are) for your support.

Looking through some alternative sources of questions that can be used for either Y12 and/or Y13, these source of questions came as a hidden gem. Below is from June 2024 Edexcel IGCSE Further Pure Definitely worth looking at - I've used a few for my Y12s! #ALevelMaths @andrewmaths1.bsky.social

International A-level syllabi - Part 2 In the previous part we've briefly discussed HK, SG and Sri Lanka. Today we'll go on to Malaysia and Carribean. This is just a brief introduction to international syllabi, inspired by @mr-man-maths.bsky.social's presentation at MathsConf.

As @mr-man-maths.bsky.social has covered International A-level Maths syllabi offered by Edexcel, Cambridge and Oxford AQA, I'd like to cover the local A-level syllabi that are taken in various countries just to see the differences in content and expectations. This is part 1 of the series.

Matt Man @mr-man-maths.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I really like @andrewmaths1.bsky.social insights and cannot wait to see more about what other countries do (in equivalent to the UK A Level) #ALevelMaths

Thank you Jo! Very honoured with the comments and reflections from my #mathsconf40 session. The question that Jo highlighted was from an HKDSE Compulsory paper - a very useful source to find some more challenging but not necessarily accelerate the pace of learning for students.

Matt Man @mr-man-maths.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Highlights from my workshop today: These were the questions that the participants found interesting from papers abroad. What do you think? #MathsConf40

Fun day at #mathsconf40 today with Jill Hay and @drbennison.bsky.social. I learnt a new way of teaching inequalities to A Level Maths and FM that I’m excited about @blatherwicksam.bsky.social. I loved trying some international exam questions with @mr-man-maths.bsky.social.

Matt Man @mr-man-maths.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Thank you so much for all that attended my workshop on looking at questions from overseas especially the Maths problems from 🇭🇰 Hong Kong which could be used for KS3, GCSE and #ALevelMaths. My slides will be updated to include links - look out for an email from @lasalleed.bsky.social! #Mathsconf40

I really like "Method 3" of how @blatherwicksam.bsky.social solves AS Further Maths inequalities. #Mathsconf40

Matt Man @mr-man-maths.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Nice reminder that it is not just curve sketching that we can use for solving quadratic inequalities. We could use the boundary method too! @blatherwicksam.bsky.social This makes me think about my Y11s who still struggle with this topic - might just give it a go!

This is coming up at a perfect time. It's almost time to review our scheme of work (I made lots of changes last year) so it's nice to see how other schools (such as here from Joe Berwick) does his. And then he covered the large data set - which I'm stepping in to teach for Monday! #Mathsconf40

Currently on my thinking trek for my talk on #MathsConf40 next week. And what a great way to do it but to visit a local library in Hong Kong to compare international paper questions compared to the UK. (Plus I found @edsouthall.bsky.social's book too)
