Just had a delightful time talking about some Checkpoints (including this one), and a few tangential thoughts, with an enthusiastic group of Maths teachers here at #MathsConf41. Having discussed Checkpoints twice now, I should probably find something different to talk about for next time.
A slide from NCETM Checkpoints. Year 7 arithmetic procedures with fractions. Checkpoint 16 greater fractions. Four pairs of fractions to compare.

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?

Did you know there are nine levels of qualification? And that a grade 3,2, or 1 at GCSE is a Level 1 qualification? The Secretary of State apparently didn't. 🔗 mbdsciencepolitics.substack.com/p/its-a-pass...

Maths peeps ... do you use the word "vertically" when teaching opposite angles? I know they're not vertical in the usual sense but are they vertically opposite because they share a vertex? (or have I misremembered that!) #maths

Teachers of #ALevelMaths and Further Maths: does anyone actively get students to create flashcards or their own revision materials? If so, how do you find it? I'm thinking of starting it in September, and taking time in lessons at the end of each topic to model what the students should be putting...
