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😜!

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?

Half term baby! A tough term, but finished on a high with INSET @celtacademies.bsky.social having such rich mathematics conversations about adjustment, adaptation and Deliberate Rehearsal!

Designing some resources for our Trust wide curriculum and we have a "Deeper Thinking" section.

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

I really think that this report and way forward is the game changer we have all been waiting for.
Please do have a look and share widely

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.

Looking for ADHD literature to read, as a parent. Specifically for strategies to support. I've done lots of reading on the what, I want more practical support! #adhd #neurodivergent

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!
