Mathshelper .co .uk appears to be down. Does anyone know the contact for the person that hosts this fabulous website? I use it's resources regularly, especially it's legacy past paper links! #alevelmaths #ukmathschat

Hi there, sorry for my tardy response! Of course you can! Feel free, they have been shared for people to make use of.

Having the 'live' embed of these resources has been great but I will now have to edit this so that the links are useable. In MS's wisdom it appears that there are no plans to update/re-release the Web Viewer add-on for PowerPoint ... :(

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

I'm glad that so many people are finding these useful. Please do give any feedback if you use them. I've noticed that, where I have embedded 'live' desmos and other web-based resources, the Web Viewer add-on for PowerPoint that I have used to do this has now been retired by MS ......

That being said, it will support the Stats in Maths massively, but this is only 1/6 of the Maths course. Hope this helps!

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I don’t think Stats should be seen as a subject to support A-Level Maths as Edexcel themselves say that it is a course in Statistics, not Maths. It does massively support statistical understanding of concepts required in other A-Levels however.

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

We haven’t dealt with this yet, however next year I anticipate that we may have this option. We have a wide variety of students studying Stats, ranging from M, FM and S (1 std) to stds studying w/o Maths.

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

It's a great course and the students have really enjoyed their studies. There are so many links to statistics in other A-Level subjects and to real world statistical applications.

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Due to the lack of resources out there for the course, please do share. I look forward to any feedback! @resourceaholic.bsky.social @drfrostresource.bsky.social @misschakera.bsky.social #alevelmaths #ukmathschat

To spotlight a particular resource, please see a link to my ANOVA resource here: workdrive.zoho.com/file/8x1523b...

I have had a blast teaching this course and passionately believe its a brilliant course that more students should have access to. I would be happy to share more about how the students and teachers have found it at my school.

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Please do share and give me feedback, they have been collated and created only by me and hence will inevitably have mistakes. My year 13 class have been great at spotting calc mistakes the behemoth that is the ANOVA resource...! #alevelmaths #ukmathschat

130

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Each resource starts off with the topic (ref my SOW), the spec links through a learning journey & then teaching slides. I've planned them for teacher use primarily but could be used by students, considering the lack of accompanying textbook I have uploaded them to Teams for my students as I teach.

130

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

As mentioned, the resources are in the style of DrFrostMaths older resources and have taken activities from DrFrostMaths legacy resources, Edexcel SOW materials, the old AQA textbook, some things that I have picked up along the way (thank you @catrionaagg.bsky.social !) and my own activities

120

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I also created a 2 year SOW using the Edexcel (I know there is an updated one coming soon) SOW as a base. You will also find this work in the folder as well. #alevelmaths

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I have now largely finished this project, bar a couple and hence would like to share my work. I take no credit for any resources that I have used. There are of course activities/resources that I have created to plug the gaps where there were very little (ANOVA for example). #ukmathschat

110

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I set myself the task of resourcing the entire course in the form of ppts, very much in the style of DrFrostMaths 's Maths and FM resources. To start, I used some of DrFrostMath's legacy FM/FS resources so not to crossover with current A-Level Maths and FM resources. @drfrostresource.bsky.social

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

In my role of KS5 Maths Coordinator, a passion project of mine over the last 3 years has been to launch A-Level Statistics at my school. I successfully launched and now have two cohorts studying towards their A-Level Stats. As is known, there aren't a lot of resources out there so ... #alevelmaths

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

BONUS: I have an adapted version which allows for input of 'marks' per assessment - doesn't produce HQs per class; WIP will do soon and will upload and 'sky' about it! #edusky

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Please do feel free to download and use, I hope people on here can benefit from my sharing, saving workload. Please do feel free to give me feedback if you end up using/sharing! Have helped a few of my colleagues across faculties at work. #edusky #ukmathschat

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Also worth noting the really cool feature, theres a drop down at the top, it works for KS4 & KS5 data (+KS3 but its only set up for my school's approach to AWL).... Quite proud of that one!! #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Each class then has it's own HQ produced on the HQ per class tab. #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Then on the Raising Standards Tab: Progressively - Cumulative progress vs target with room for teacher adjustment if necessary And upload 'Engagement scores' per assessment period (We use our reporting data here) A whole HQ is also created as this data is inputted here. #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

This data sheet is set up so that you upload on the Data Tab: Initially - Student names, class, student labels, targets Progressively - The grade per assessment (period) #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

To this end, I wanted to share a resource school wide to help colleagues in other faculties. Hence I wanted something user friendly, useful and robust. I started work on a template and this is what I've made: workdrive.zohoexternal.com/file/7cq9u30... w/ made up std examples! #edusky

workdrive.zohoexternal.com

MLTA Upload Data + RS Template .xlsx

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Given my data set up, I thought that I have the progress data already, along with the conditional formatting. I'm sure I can produce a resource which does the heavy lifting so that teachers can focus on the interventions, not the 'identifying' - something I was focussed on any way. #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

At the tail end of the academic year my school updated their Raising Standards process by making Horsforth Quadrants (HQ) the central component to the process. Initially, the guidance was for teachers to manually go through each student in their class and place them on the Quadrant. #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

The grade data fills into my over marksheet as linked using SharePoint:

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

The teachers enter data and that dynamically updates my overall data sheet, all on SharePoint. All sheets are conditionally formatted for relative progress against target grades. Teachers are drawn to identify progress as opposed to just attainment. #ukmathschat #edusky

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

In our SharePoint area I have created folders for each class that we have across KS5. In each folder there is a SOY document and I upload QLAs for each assessment which as been pre formatted with that class's students and targets. The SOY document has the students accompanied with their target grads

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Our school has Microsoft 365 and we use the SharePoint and Teams environments as our VLE. As such I saw an opportunity to keep things up to date and dynamic. #edusky

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

In the role of KS5 Mathematics Coordinator I have given myself a focus to develop and support teachers and myself with robust, informative assessment data tracking. #ukmathschat #edusky

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Thank you so much to everyone for the feedback. Its been so warming to see people find this useful and really helpful to the confidence to share for the kind words. #UKMathsChat

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Please do use and give me any feedback - I like creating things with the intention of reducing workload, particularly Excel! Will be sharing more in future. Sorry for the long thread, I have been known to be called Mr Olly Wha-ff-ly ... @misschakera.bsky.social #ALevelMaths

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

For the A-Level Maths marksheet, it also creates a 'learning wall' so that it can inform teacher's about how a class may get on with linked topics. The FM one isn't set up yet- WIP!! #ALevelMaths

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Additionally I also created a marksheet for teachers to use, if they wished, that allows them to simply input the marks per question achieved. It is set up so that it will highlight average student performance per Q and class performance per Topic, across BOTH years. #ALevelMaths

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I have created these 'Exit Ticket' booklets for all topics in A-Level Maths and Further Maths (D + FMech) Maths: workdrive.zohoexternal.com/folder/syrw2... FM: workdrive.zohoexternal.com/folder/syrw2... #ALevelMaths

A-Level Maths Exit Tickets

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Questions have been taken from our already existing homework assignment catalogue, just collated and put into a convenient booklet for teachers, with accompanying mark scheme. I DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THE QUESTION SOURCES. #ALevelMaths

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Teachers get the benefit of regularly seeing student work based on exam questions, with benefit of impact on workload as its the same question. #ALevelMaths

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

After each topic, students get issued with an 'Exit Ticket' which is an exam question based on content from that topic. 1. Students complete the question, in exam conditions (benefits of regular exam practice etc) 2. Teachers mark, spot misconception/common themes to give feedback #ALevelMaths

100

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Our homework system was causing some workload issues, however we wanted to still have a regular teacher oversight on student work, not just waiting until the next assessment. As such I created a topic 'Exit Ticket' resource, inspired by a conversation with @misschakera.bsky.social #ALevelMaths

110

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I have set myself a goal of trying to share more resources and be braver by contributing and posting here ... to that end I would like to put out there a resource I have created for my A-Level teachers this academic year. #ALevelMaths

Oliver Whatley @mrwhatleymaths.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Blue skies above! I will be active here from now on, sharing my experiences from mentoring ITT/ECT, delivering my Work Group and sharing my A-Level Statistics resources. New update to follow regarding that last point!
