There's going to be some discussions, analysis, and things to learn from my session this time next week on Teachers Talk Connect @ttradioofficial.bsky.social.

How can we move 'em up to a strong start in A Level Maths?

#Mathstoday
Last Thursday, it was day 2 of the GLOW Maths Hub LLME day where it was brilliant to discuss about the latest updates to maths education about equity and oracy, and winning a t-shirt! This was followed by an excellent evening at the Artrix Bromsgrove and seeing @standupmaths.bsky.social!

Thanks @nathanday.bsky.social!
Yes, it's that time again when it's getting closer to the exams, so these video checklists will be useful for both students and teachers! #ALevelMaths

I've started to use these more with my DNAs across my KS3, GCSE and A Level groups across Maths and Further Maths. Some of the A Level questions do make the students think so it's another very useful tool for recall and revision. Thank you @jim-hardy.bsky.social! #ALevelMaths

There's one in the International A Level paper from January 2025 (F2):
#ALevelMaths #Mathstoday
Though I do think that that series of specimen papers are very tough!

One thing that I'm passionate about (other than #Mathstoday) is to lead on celebrating my roots. Nothing comes better than for the school in joining in the Chinese (Lunar) New Year celebrations! House competitions, a special Chinese lunch that is popular amongst all students, and more to come!

And thanks Rob for your feedback! A live lesson really is so powerful - so much so, my other colleague, who also led a workgroup but for KS3/4, has said that this would be a great idea to do it to our department during gained time!

I assume something like this Rob?

It probably was - one of my workgroup participants came up with the idea, but didn't realise it was a resource from Susan Wall! It's a brilliant one.

And yes, A3 whiteboards are really a must for A Level! #ALevelMaths

The participants from the Developing A Level pedagogy workgroup have been brilliant! One participant commented about "Day 2 has always been the most enjoyable part of this CPD course" Lots of procedural variation used in the live lesson, with a look in to conceptual variation at the end #ALevelMaths

In #ALevelMaths last Thursday, I delivered a live lesson where the GLOW Developing A Level Maths pedagogy workgroup collaboratively planned on the equation of a circle. What an experience for the students who engaged brilliantly and represented the school; and for the teachers who jointly planned!

Day 2 of the Developing #ALevelMaths pedagogy workgroup - this is where the excitement really develops. 90 minutes for the workgroup to plan a live lesson which I will then deliver to the Year 12s, with a focus on variation theory. Looking forward to this!

We normally keep them in the room and let them take home when it's close to revising for mlni tests and big assessments.
But yes, pupils are free to take their little red exercise books and they do remember!

We've gone something different over the past year or so! A little red exercise book full of examples that the students take home to revise whilst they have a big A4+ blue exercise book for practice (that's where the loose worksheets are). The students find the little red book very useful.

Brilliant to see materials that I shared for my #ALevelMaths pedagogy workgroup that I used last year being put into use for another workgroup! I hope that the participants found this really useful! @themathsbazaar.bsky.social

I believe it's what they think is the answers! Very similar to when you see these TikTok videos of a students "worked answers" for GCSE and A Level

Some of my colleagues were saying that the @ukmathstrust.bsky.social IMC 2026 paper results are all over TikTok? If so, can this be followed up?

I don't use UpLearn either so am interested to see how other teachers / schools use this.

Looking forward to this! If you have been to any of the #MathsConf then, you will be in for the next stint of my talk in A Level Maths transition. Book a ticket in the link below to find out more about TTR Connect! @ttradioofficial.bsky.social

Wow! Something that I'll definitely give a go especially that it includes all areas of Maths! Can't wait to see it develop further

GCSE Maths – Do Now

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.

Particular integrals - second order non homogeneous differential equations? I was teaching that to my Y13 FM group last week!
