Reposted by Paddy MooreNathan Day @nathanday.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I've also expanded my collection of A Level Further Maths 'Exam Question a Lesson' packs for the new half term. Setting and marking three of these questions each lesson has been really helpful with Year 13 this year. (As you can see, I've become a bit addicted to the Sagona font family!) 4215
Reposted by Paddy MooreCatriona Agg @catrionaagg.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I’ve ended up with a few spare lessons with Y8 (unknown for me, I’m usually behind!) so we’ve been doing investigations. They came up with loads of things I’d never thought of! I particularly liked one student’s justification of why even squares appear in square numbered rows. #MathsToday 1111
