How's the general consensus for #GCSEmaths? Our lot seemed pretty happy on foundation, with a mixed bag at the lower higher end?

Anything with Pentominoes. Use to love a pentomino farm activity! Could have a booklet of different activities which allows different access where needed?

I feel someone else has taken over contracting in the system.

I'm the same. Have marked for a number of years with them. Always good reports. Not had an offer to mark at all this year.

Totally! We discussed that we prefer the use of Exponent or Index Number but we need to convince the key people to do the same!

I have just been planning Trust resourcing around this and it infuriates me too! Misconceptions from the language not that maths!

Phew! Maybe they are delaying this year. I'd always forget to reply with Christmas around and rely on the reminder, I'm sure I wasn't the only one😜!

Sam Lawrence @slawrence14.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Any EDEXCEL markers? Normally I get a contract offer over Christmas for the Summer (have marked a number of years now and TL) but haven't had one. Has anyone had theirs?

Designing some resources for our Trust wide curriculum and we have a "Deeper Thinking" section. Looking something for students to get their teeth into around converting FD and P? Anyone??? #mathstoday

Your resources are fab, and very much appreciate the ability to edit and adapt too. Good luck with the new year!

I love working this way! So much can be applied. But yep definitely speed getting its own row is key to unlocking the questions. I find keeping the units, and maybe some choral response of "Speed is a measure per ..one!" Lots of MWBs with writing speeds into ratios to support?

Why would anyone do that? I also sing your praises about how amazing you are and have the BEST quality papers. Thank you for all you do. You're the reason I switched to BlueSky and that I'm happy for alone!

We moved to EDEXCEL after AQA. Papers were more accessible for majority of students and gets the highest students to really think at the back end. The resourcing is excellent, but agree Exam Wizard is rubbish. But there is so much in Maths Emporium I find I don't need it hugely.

It was only when I was doing some polygon work I found the Myriagon one but then the word myriad has now become just "lots of" but it origins is 10,000.

Ooh a couple extras to add in (and I know you like a bit of history!) Decimate - the Romans used as a cowardice punishment to kill one in ten. Myriad - classical history for units of 10,000 - Myriagon - 10,000 sided polygon!
