mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I hope that's not me your attempting to quote or paraphrase? I said not implied no such thing. And if I wasn't clear or you thought I'd meant that just ask? 000
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I do believe it's a good thing to circulate and have a presence. But of course it's not the same as saying you must stand and never sit. It's just a tool. 010
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Thank you for your question. Yes, it's the option. The size and layout of your room, being able to circulate, not having to hold the often heavy devices. Sometimes you want to be at the front and use your WB. It just reduces inertia. They go back down very easily so you get the best of both setups. 120
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We've had 2in1s for a while now. I like the fact you can face the class. But my warning is it led to a lot of teachers sitting at their desk. So I bought my dept standing desks. 400

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Hi Graham, do you by any chance have something like this for further maths? I know it's a longshot due to options etc 100
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Brilliant brilliant, and equally terrifying, book. 000
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm afraid I see much the same on an average family meal out. We typically dine early about 4ish and so usually only see other young families. It's terrible. And the sugar thing ... Needs legislation, just look at the bbc article on rising type 2 diabetes. 010
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 09/07/2026This may not be useful at all. But three things that come to mind are mathsbot, drfrost and mrbartons new site for a lot of primary practice material (all the way down to ks1). I mainly use mrbartons stuff with my kids who are of primary age. 010

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Have you been listening to the Mr Barton AI series? Been a mix of views. 030
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Yet if they put these in exams there'd be petitions galore! 110
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Not when I'd wrote above. Ss said it was hard but they enjoyed it. They said first half fine and second half had some challenges. Which is my point I guess. My overall point was more so with ref to a level paper 1 which was relatively harder IMO. 010
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I think we are too quick to criticise exam boards. As with Edexcel paper 1, do we not want challenge and some novelty in assessment? Can't all be fluency. 100
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I agree. Students should be assessed on question types that they shouldn't have come across before. A better assessment of ability than pure cramming. 020
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 12/06/2026A question almost identical to this is in the transformations Edexcel themed paper resources where it's clearer they want it in terms of k. 110

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I work mainly with a level students. I'm not as confident as I was in recommending university to them. Any advice you could give me to pass on? 010
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 16/04/2026This is a great thread, thank you. The other issue is that for many places A level maths can be the largest a level and so resources are already stretched. (Maths classes 25 Ss Vs others at around 10) To accommodate <grade 7 Ss you'd need an increase. But where is the money and the teachers? 000

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 29/03/2026This is a great write up. It's a speech the likes of which should be given to teachers and parents alike up and down the country. I hope my school will be one of these you describe, and the schools my children will go to 021

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 28/03/2026@samfr.bsky.social chimes so much with what I've seen in schools too. Enjoying your book! 000
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Teaches... I suppose it comes down to the definition. I said to a headteacher once that if the only objective was covering the content I could do it in almost any time frame he gave me. 030

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Some sets will finish with a week to spare. And that's also incl the fact that we had to set all numerical methods and LDS as remote work over Feb HT. For context we have 11*50mins per fortnight. 110

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I couldn't agree more. Every year we struggle to finish content. I can't imagine how it is that schools finish as early as they do. I'd be really interested in finding out how other structure curriculum and get through it. It's the kind of cpd/sharing I'd be super interested in. 440

mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Thanks for sharing. It's reassuring to hear that. I asked as I hear of many schools that boast they finish much earlier and have lots of past paper time and can't see how to do that? 110
mrdhillow.bsky.social @mrdhillow.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Hi, on the subject of a level lessons, when do you usually finish the normal a level with yr13? We always find it very tight. For context we have eleven 50 mins per fortnight. 100
