Honestly 1, 2, ...

True
Im guessing they want some consistency 🤔
They could just as easily split the results into bottom 10%, next 20%, middle 40%, ...
Doesn't matter in the slightest whether it fits a normal curve

Perhaps just add some harder questions to lower the peak. I guess the rationale is to identify the very best and those needing support 🤔

I agree, most of my colleagues are not interested beyond teaching.

Interesting read but I dont see an example that can't be taught without algebraic division. You say point 1 is wrong. Why?

Can you give examples to back this up pls

Is one given as a root and the other a decimal indicative?

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school

Many thanks

Good idea, planning on using them to refresh skills rather than tests. I'll take a look 🙂👍

Can anybody direct me to some skills tests for AS Maths, short non wordy questions #ALevelMaths

I charge 50 for A level in Suffolk with travelling, about the norm i believe

We used them for supplentary questions but still use the brown and blue ones which the students buy and we buy back at half price and sell next year. CGP were a lot cheaper and could be used with the teacher having the blue/brown books to supplement?

I agree, not a surprising outcome 🙂

I can see this would be the case if the subjects are taught in parallel but is it the case if Maths sat in yr12 and fm in yr13?

I believe in that case you can use the calculator, in the same way that it solves simultaneous equations or does binomial or normal distribution calculations

Did you know I've been working on A-level content? I've managed to cover all of year 1 statistics now including in depth videos (a little over 6 hours worth), exam questions and solutions on each topic (117 full exam questions in total). All free, of course.

I think this depends upon the wording of the question, sometimes it says use factor theorem, or algebraic methods

I didn't note that point of intersection was at the point of inflection, so spent more time on this than I should 🙃

Along similar lines to yesterday's. Find the exact value of the green area.

Ok

Is that because 411 is a rounded figure and not exact?

I replaced x with 12/13x and y with 12/13y in the original and got the 411 version I think 🤔

I think it is 13/12 in both directions?

I have pinned the actual question on my profile. There is an original and 2 accepted 'similar' shapes the 350 version is not considered similar to me and those who kindly replied

Agreed but the 411 answer in that format is worth more than 1 mark 🙂
