I forgot to post this today but looking at the stats many people have downloaded anyway. AQA Maths Studies #CoreMaths practice Paper 2A and Paper 2Cs with solutions went up this morning. I enjoyed reading an academic paper on sunflowers… blog.drbennisonmaths.com/blog/2025/04...

Ok. In this spirit, and for new followers here: @chrisbaker108.bsky.social and I do this thing, every day. We make a slide to be shared in tutor time. It’s a thing that can fill a few minutes. Broaden minds to interesting things and amazing people. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

I've turned this into a PowerPoint and added more news stories from the summer. The articles are in Word documents that can be printed 2-Up and double-sided to fit on one side of A4 😊 #CoreMaths wykecollege-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/person...

In #CoreMaths I like to start the year with a lesson on using news articles to do some estimation or data calculations, to get the students talking and thinking about "real world" maths. Here are some recent news stories that I'm planning on using this year:

A set of Maths starters with the title "10 marks in 10 minutes", each containing three GCSE exam questions.

@mrmetacognition: metacognition is a catch all, backed by research that has a positive impact on learning for all - helps problem solving skills, skill transference, revision effectiveness and covers all areas. So why wouldn’t you want to develop it with learners?! #mathsconfonline

@jwrightmaths.bsky.social sharing sequence for teaching averages - interested to try teaching my average or range rather than by list or table #mathsconfonline

Thinking of language for average definitions - using “distance” instead of difference for range to relate to usages students understand a bit more with @jwrightmaths.bsky.social

Dr Frost resources are, to me, about great maths questions and explanations and examples and checks for understanding and tasks and exercises and discussion prompts in great curriculum sequences. PowerPoint is just a way of sharing those things, either with teachers or with students.

Going to open my bsky posting with a happy #coremaths post. Moved to a one year course this year. Our y12 students got excellent results and we had twice as many of them! Next year have an extra class too. Very glad we made the change for the students.
