New from me on Political Sandbox: The Higher Rate That Isn't 1988: one taxpayer in twenty paid 40%, and it was the top rate. 2031: nearly one in four. Nobody voted for that. Here's who gets caught. https://politicalsandbox.substack.com/p/the-higher-rate-that-isnt

I've been thinking .... new post from me! justmaths.co.uk/did-the-2017... #maths #curriculumreform

Public apology for anyone who I’ve delivered training to today especially if you had to listen to my little bit of singing!! Sorry. Won’t do it again 😳

#todayinmaths hit me up and recommend some inspirational women that do talks encouraging more women into STEM careers … particularly to continue with A level maths! #maths

I’ve now read all of Pearsons maths GCSE examiners reports … summaries for each can be found here … AQAs will go up on the weekend. If anyone would like to send me @OCR_Maths (I’ve had no response to my email!) I’ll read that sh1t to for ya 🤣 justmaths.co.uk/index-i-read...

Any edexcel markers on here? Did you mark F paper 1 … Q12a? The Asma cycling question …. I have a query?!? If you can help DM me please?

It’s a small percentage of students who resit more than twice (and should we admire them for their resilience?) - so most of them aren’t on an “endless cycle”

Have any a level maths teachers been asked to deliver part of the a level engineering course at all? Would be good to talk to someone about it #alevelmaths

Pearson are interested in your views on the future of maths curriculums, assessment etc … basically get involved and have your say!! pearson.com/en-gb/schools/… #maths

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

Here we go again! All change.

There are 50 bursaries available for the British Congress of Mathematics Education (BCME 10) conference in October. Applications close next week. Apply! bcme.co.uk/bursaries.html

Using the power of Tik Tok ... heres an updated list of whats come up on P1 and P2 .. for Edexcel Foundation Tier. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/67m7m... Along with an updated "Master revision list" of all topics that shows what hasn't come up ... www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ifmqx... #maths

SATs papers now available to download www.gov.uk/government/p... Happy to tell you that Chen isn't there, but Adam has been buying fruit. There's also a bonus pineapples question (fruity and naughty) and Olivia has managed to get something wrong. AGAIN.

Interesting different approaches to crossed out work … one of these is from a document published by Eduqas and the others from recent markschemes from AQA, OCR and Pearson. Wonder if the other boards will follow suit ? PS I hope not. #maths

It’s now gone 10.30, so people can pretend they’ve just received copies of yesterday’s GCSE Maths papers!

JCQ Chapter 6 Releasing question papers www.jcq.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Ever fancied a job like this? talents.studysmarter.co.uk/companies/pe...

We need to be asking questions if people are producing hit lists … or it’s based on what students have said. I’d hate to think their schools released the papers early From ofqual ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Anyone of you out there work with a high PP intake and do some amazing things? I’ve a colleague that may like to visit to see what you’re up to. Please DM me #maths

My school at which i do mu day job is recruiting. It’s an ace place to work at. … www.stratforduponavonschool.com/vacancies

Any ideas what this is? When wound it spins round with a sort of clacking noise.

Ofqual would need four meetings and a public consultation before getting out of the way of a moving train tbh www.tes.com/magazine/new...

GCSE Statistics teachers How many lessons per week do you have and do you cover the course over 1 or 2 years? Thank you!

Maths teachers- can I ask how much curriculum time per week do your Y10 and Y11 classes get? Thank you!

You're starting from scratch with 5 yr SOW, rolling out one year at a time, starting with yr 7. How do you approach this to maximise chances for success? @jemmaths.bsky.social @mathsjem.bsky.social @justmaths.bsky.social @arithmaticks.bsky.social @studymaths.bsky.social @krisboulton.bsky.social

#maths What would you remove from the current Maths GCSE? Anything you’d add?

700 likes! But more importantly, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas has raised 24k for @centrepointuk.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

Key vocab! How do you deal with? We have a 'unit vocabulary' sheet that students glue into books and fill in as we go- feels clunky. As a school, we 'drill' vocab every lesson (choral response). This hasn't got 100% buy in yet @justmaths.bsky.social @resourceaholic.bsky.social @jemmaths.bsky.social

one for @justmaths.bsky.social ?
