Logarithmic Regression with Year 12 in #mathstoday
Finding that we are needing to scaffold things in #AlevelMaths more this year and we are enjoying putting together resources to help to students organise their thinking!
Little tricky question for Year 11 in #Mathstoday
Standard form is such a lovely topic to weave into other places!
Tables where students need to find the position to term rule for different linear sequences
Linear sequences with year 9s in #MathsToday
Trying using tables to structure their thinking and using language of Position to Term rule as opposed to nth term (...then saying that the n stands for positioN...)
Worksheet here: chelekmaths.com/completion-t...
Fun discussion in #Mathstoday debating if anyone of the following can be considered Standard Form and whether we haven't been specific enough in our definitions! Would love to hear thoughts!
Always such a joy to be mentioned by one of the Maths resource GOATs 😍
⚙️🧠 QG Highlight – 265a: Find the midpoint between two plotted points ✨📊
Students can move the point around the graph to locate the exact coordinates they need.
Plus there’s a clear model solution explanation at the end 😍

A blank parametric equations worksheet displayed as a table. Columns are titled: x = p(t), y = q(t), Cartesian Equation f(x,y), Intersection with axes, Constraint on t, Domain, Range, and Sketch. Five rows contain given parametric pairs such as x = 3 – t, y = –4 + 3t; x = 3t², y = 6t; x = 4 cos t, y = 2 sin t; x = 1 + 2 cos t, y = 3 + 2 sin t; and x = e²ᵗ, y = e³ᵗ, with remaining columns left blank for students to complete
second blank parametric equations worksheet in table format. Columns match the first sheet: x = p(t), y = q(t), Cartesian Equation f(x,y), Intersection with axes, Constraint on t, Domain, Range, and Sketch. Five rows include parametric definitions such as x = t² – 1, y = t(t² – 1); x = 3 cos 2t, y = 2 cos t; x = 1 + 2t², y = –3 + 4t; x = ln(t – 2), y = 1/(t + 1) with t > 3; and x = cot t, y = 3 sin t for 0 ≤ t ≤ π, with other columns empty for completion.
A new A level task.
Really enjoyed watching the students think about this one:

And one for the trapezium rule. I'm at the stage now where I can type in a carefully phrased one-paragraph prompt and trust it to come up with the goods!
I've enjoyed starting to build mrhardymaths.co.uk - providing quick Do Nows, and practice/revision sheets.
If you've taken a look - I'd love to know what you think.
Appears this is also true for fascism.
Student loan interest is back in the news again, and rightly so.
About 18 months ago, I wrote a blog post about the impact student loans have on take home wages and how it's getting worse.
Back then, I said my student loan debt was £70,000.
Today:
Packed room as usual for @mathsjem.bsky.social session reintroducing the wonderful Don Steward problems. Five years since we lost him.
In #MathsToday I ran a lunchtime session with some year 12 students where we looked at this activity. Trying to get them into the mindset of "just trying things and talking about what you're doing", with the eventual idea of leading to Oxbridge-interview-style questions

Got these questions ON REPEAT with my year 13s at the moment. Almost finished integration and these crop up basically every lesson in #Alevelmaths #MathsToday
Trickier Surds questions with Y11 in #MathsToday
I love writing questions based on fun maths challenge qus and found these I wrote a while ago that I really like

Deriving the Compound Angle Formulae today. I quite like numbering the triangles first so the workings don’t look *too* messy #MathsToday #ALevelMaths
Completing the square - negative coefficient of x
#Mathstoday
School Internet wasn't working very well so not as much done as would have been liked (at least next week is off for us)
Some of my year 10s got to challenge themselves with these lovely Corbett questions.
#Mathstoday
Love these questions the year 10s did for factorising quadratics. Gave students a lot of the scaffolding they needed allowing them to move onto similar ones without the scaffolding after.
#MathsToday
Year 8 looked at Square numbers and used them to problem solve sums.
New post: tasks with scaffolding

Round these numbers correct to 4 decimal places. a) 0.3333... b) 0.5555... c) 0.3535... d) 0.5353...
A silly bit of interweaving or a useful task?
@nathanday.bsky.social
Lovely #oracy work on indices in #MathsToday. We haven't covered negative indices yet but this got them pondering negative indices and considering non integer values for a and b as well as 0 and 1. Looking forward to delving deeper next lesson.
Solution to a question on finding the equation of the perpendicular bisector of points (4,-3) and (-2,7). Use of colour to highlight how parts connect to the question words.
I really do think that colour is helpful to identify steps in multi stage problems. But there is also scope to use it to link parts of a solution to the words in the question.
❤️ Love this ❤️
@mathforge.org has done what I’ve never been organised enough to do myself, and catalogued every #geometrypuzzle I’ve ever posted on social media. It looks amazing!
Helping pupils to transfer their understanding into novel context is a notoriously difficult thing to do, but there are some strategies that you can try out.
Take a look at our sketchnote to get started.
Mock Time for year 11s so also a fun time to make resources based on topics they struggled with!
Wrote a post about it here: chelekmaths.com/2025/11/19/e...
Some nice questions were made on the way #MathsToday
A whiteboard with 5 questions where the discriminant has been used to find the number of solutions to a quadratic
I was rubbing this off the board as Y7 came in for the next lesson, and two of them asked why I was teaching discrimination in maths. (I told them they’d have to do A Level to find out!)
With Year 12 today we were looking at remainder theorem and we did the very lovely true or false task from Integral maths. See also here my mini-whiteboard check before letting them get on which was nice as it forced them to think about the positions of the numbers.
