I have schools that do AQA and schools that do Edexcel both telling me paper 1 was bad today. Any feedback from other schools? Please let me know what board and how they found it

Currently in a casio webinar. Looks like they've actually listened. The new calculators have solved so many of my issues with the previous ones!

Can anyone see what's gone wrong here? I can't see why the student keeps getting det 0. If anyone has time to look I would appreciate it!

Sheena @sheena2907.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Does anyone have experience of doing both AQA and Edexcel entry level? What are the main differences? Is there a preference?

In #MathsToday I did this as a starter on estimation. With the aim of getting pupils to consider which counters are the 'significant' ones.

We started polar coordinates today in online further maths. I gave them 5 mins with desmos and a few pointers and they came up with some amazing polar curves. None of them had heard the word cardiod before though 🤯🤷

In #mathstoday I got to rant about notation and how inverse notation and reciprocal notation is ridiculous and should be changed and how we use arcsin and arccos and we want none of this sin^-1 business!

This year, I'm going to reinstate Maths Video of the Week, which I send out on Teams to our A Level Maths students (I've let it lapse in recent years) The descriptions and links to the videos are all ready to copy and paste each week - feel free to use! wykecollege-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/person...

Video descriptions 2025-26 Maths video of the week #1
Hi everyone! Each week we’ll be linking to a different interesting or thought-provoking video relating to the world of mathematics. We see the numbers “million” and “billion” a lot, both in maths and in everyday life, but it can be difficult to visualise their relative sizes. In this week’s video, Tom Scott demonstrates the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars. You may want to watch the first 2-3 minutes then skip ahead to a couple of minutes from the end, as there is a lot of driving in the middle! A Million Dollars vs A Billion Dollars, Visualised: A Road Trip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg

Maths video of the week #2
Fermat’s Last Theorem is one of the most well-known theorems in mathematics. It was first stated by Pierre de Fermat in 1637 but was not proven until 1994 by English mathematician Andrew Wiles, who has studied and worked at Oxford, Cambridge and Princeton. In this week’s video Simon Singh introduces the theorem, and explains a little of the history of how it was finally proven. Singh has written a number of popular science and mathematics books (including one on Fermat’s Last Theorem) which are very engaging and recommended if you are looking for some super-curricular reading for mathematics. This could be just for your own interest, or to mention in a UCAS personal statement or interview. Fermat's Last Theorem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiNcEguuFSA

New academic year, new Step Support Programme website! Over the summer we have updated our website, had a bit of a tidy up, and added some new content. One of the new features is a "Check in test' for students who have completed the foundation modules complete with marksheme. maths.org/step/

Hi maths teachers. I don't suppose anybody would ever willing to share a lesson on telling the time on an analogue clock for year 7 (set 9 of 9), please. My laptop has broken, yesterday of all days, so I am in a bit of a pickle this week. Thank you in advance

I got the lowdown on the changes to the AQA #ALevelMaths formula book, for those interested 😊 #MathsToday

Here is a summary of the changes (based on the A Level Maths & Further Maths booklet, but also applicable to the A Level Maths only booklets):

Slight changes to non-mathematical wording

Change of font for plain text throughout

Standard nested brackets are now all curved

Inequality symbols now use a horizontal bottom line for ‘or equal to’

Page 4

Binomial expansion – denominator written as factorial rather than dot notation for product

Page 6

Integration – integral of sec2 removed as this can be seen in differentiation table

Tables

Removal of ‘student’s’ from student’s t-distribution (also changed on Contents page)

Removal of Table 3 - Critical values of the product moment correlation coefficient (also changed on Contents page)

Some values in tables 1 & 2 have been corrected from previous historic errors
