Welcome back.
For SENCOs, this term isn’t a fresh start — it’s a countdown.
Deadlines, evidence, chasing staff.
It builds fast.
It doesn’t have to feel like this.

Looking forward to this.
Stop by the Cambridge OCR stand for a chat.
Great collection of practice questions, but remind your students do their working out on paper to avoid careless mistakes (plus they will not get full marks in the exam if they don't show working).
In #MathsToday I have been collating Mechanics questions from the last few years.
Students seem to struggle with pulleys.
Something to discuss at the #ALevelMaths Teacher Network.

Does it mean 2 adults can take any number of children (within capacity limits) but 1 adult can only take 1 child?
Worth a read is Tom Button's disccussion (writing for NCETM) on which calculations A level students should be able to do on their calculator.

Row 2: Umbrella, Sandals, Sun, Glasses. Row total: 290. Row 3: Sun, Sandals, Sun, Sun. Row total: 308. Row 4: Glasses, Umbrella, Glasses, Sun. Row total: 292 Columns (top to bottom using the first image in each row): Column 1: Row 1 Umbrella → Row 2 Umbrella → Row 3 Sun → Row 4 Glasses. Column total: 286. Column 2: Row 1 Sandals → Row 2 Sandals → Row 3 Sandals → Row 4 Umbrella. Column total: 280. Column 3: Row 1 Glasses → Row 2 Sun → Row 3 Sun → Row 4 Glasses.
