Ooh going to try this with my new year 12 group. #alevelmaths

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I wake up most mornings with a tiny amount of space whilst Archie is spread out on my RHS and Fib curled up on my LHS. Alternatively when cold both have stolen most of the duvet and growl at me if I move!!

Markscheme is very simplistic too. Mine hated being told which way to resolve. Seemed totally unnecessary.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Both AS FM and Maths are popular at our school and a great 4th option for some. Is a good seller at open evening #alevelmaths

Really like this idea. I gave my class 2 extra pure mocks under test conditions which I marked. Took ages as had a class of 28 so very interested in investment costs #mathsalevel

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Can I ask what was the modest investment please?

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Thank you. Luckily had a letter with Nest ID. Have put in all details, gone confirm opt out and got this. Will try again later.

Need to do this, was it quick and simple?!

Today will be spent staring at this view. Afternoon will have a swim. Sheep being my only neighbours for a mile. #summerholiday #rest

Halfway to the West coast of Scotland. Brief stop in a lovely pub near Carlisle. #summerholidays

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Looking forward to using it this summer.

Recovering after school trip to Spain. Brilliant experience for them. Not a holiday for staff as always.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Thank you. Love this gem of reminders and new resources.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

School trip to Spain with a 2AM meet up, so madly packing, tidying and working out when to sleep!

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Ooh these look great. From marking exam papers there are so many simple mistakes that students make. How simple is it to get these made?

000

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

This threw a lot of students. Would love to know why so specific apart from making it easier to mark! Seemed harsh not having or otherwise.

110

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

We had 3 mathematicians! It’s a highly competitive role.

120

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Students feeling much more positive after paper 2. Now the fun of stats and mech. Let’s see what they remember. Although not sure the chem/bio combination will have any energy left with this years exam schedule #alevelmaths

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Mine are called Fib and Archie but they sometimes call it out the other way, so I wait until they try again #maths

040

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Edexcel - tricky, awful, might as well resit now has been uttered by some of mine. Social media saying similar. Cannot wait to see the paper.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

3 different versions too, although agree page of notes per week looks good. Think i might treat myself! www.leuchtturm1917.co.uk/new/planners...

These look amazing. So many misconceptions checked. Do you by any chance have solutions please!

100

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Such a good idea. We have rewritten the pure SOW and possibly will look at Statistics next. #alevelmaths

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Lots of Dr Frost slides have been updated. These are much better and flow better through a topic. Loved teaching mechanics with the new slides. Didn’t hardly use the textbook. #alevelmaths

010

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Such a good idea. We mix up our mock papers so not easy for us to do. However am thinking of giving my #Alevelmaths group 2024 and shadow 2024 in a similar 2nd chance format.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Had an intervention session with yr13. They wanted to look at Yr2 integration. Told them to use their desk as whiteboards. Great conversations and sharing from a group who struggle with maths. Heard them as they went down the stairs - best maths lesson I have ever had. Made my week #Alevelmaths

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

So many issues with using a protractor today, let alone when I asked my year 8 to use a compass on 2nd lesson of pie charts #mathstoday oh what fun I had…

020

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Generally the simple moments such as getting outside, playing with my cats alongside a good A level question.

020

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Perfect for my lesson this week. Hopefully should stop them worrying so much about domain and range.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

I’ve gone for washing machine repair to start my half term.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

These look great. Do you have solutions by any chance please? #alevelmaths

100

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Edexcel have some practice papers with examiner feedback. They are a good resource. Also make sure you have version of mark scheme with notes so you can check what the marks can be given for. #alevelmaths

A friend of mine has just launched this website that I think is pretty great for generating quick starters for A-Level maths and he has started adding some questions for Further Maths too. mrhardymaths.co.uk #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

Congratulations. So tough to get an offer. Our 2 didn’t succeed.

100

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Love these with my year 8 and 9 classes that need a bit extra support

010

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

This looks great can you share the resource please?

100

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Ooh had forgotten all about these. Use the starter questions lots. #Alevelmaths

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

The roller chalkboard with the aim to go round at least once!

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Had fun teaching year 8 problem solving questions in the canteen, no whiteboard, in fact nothing apart from the sheet! Only place that was free to teach them in, my room booked by someone else… #mathsteaching

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Totally agree. Such a great and useful read.

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Did all the paintwork myself. 6 layers on the stairs. Got company in to do runner and took it round the landing too.

110

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Did this to mine. Paint stripper helped. Took a while. But very happy now!

110

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Thank you so much for these amazing resources

010

tickyvanner.bsky.social @tickyvanner.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Textbook exercises are self marked. The students complete feedback/ summary where they can list 3 questions they struggled with, which is the focus for the written feedback from me. If there is a pattern I will go over the Q next lesson.
