Years ago I helped @meimaths.bsky.social & Integral resources make a series of demo videos for working with data in Excel & @geogebra.org. (Initially for working with the Large Data Set - LDS). Still relevant for our data-driven world!

As my Best Guess folders gain traction, remember that whether they are called Predicted Papers, Practice Papers or Best Guess Papers, they are ONLY practice papers. Until Paper 1 has happened, there is no way to predict or guess what will be on Paper 2.

"Many misunderstand, so pause and fix.
Some are unsure, so adapt support.
Most understand, so extend and support."
16 different questions on linear graphs.
Added quite a few new questions to the linear graphs unit today.

Here are the FOUR best ways of getting to grips with (and teaching) the 83/85 and 991
1) Casio have made interactives for each calculator:

Trying to be more present here and so wanted to share my work in progress padlet on Diversifying the Mathematics Curriculum. I am also keen to come and lead assemblies for students and PD for teachers (free!) on this subject if anyone is interested!

I'll be the first to admit I have gone crazy creating digital tools using Gemini vibe coding BUT check out what i've been doing today:
Edexcel GCSE Maths Foundation revision tracker.
RAG rate the skills; you can then later filter by your RAG rating.

A screenshot of 30 questions testing basic skills needed to access the GCSE maths exam successfully.
Three sets of increasingly difficult questions, designed to identify gaps in the basic skills needed to be successful on a GCSE paper.
All @tessmaths.bsky.social's idea.

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.

I've written a second post on using AI in the Maths classroom to aid student learning, this time in generating checks for understanding. May give you some useful ideas

Are predicted grades accurate?
This wonderful blog from @fftedudatalab.bsky.social explores the question, and my takehome is that *on average* they might be, but for an individual student it's pretty much guesswork.
Well worth a read.

A bell curve with the area greater than 40.8 shaded with the area marked as 0.1044, and then 8 related questions with blanks to fill in.
After #MathsToday I created a new fill in the blanks generator on Normal Distribution.

You can choose what is revealed / hidden for any randomly generated distribution by clicking. Easy to screenshot into a presentation, or use live.

I've collated some data from UCAS for the top 25-ish universities that our students (from the Hull area) progress to to study STEM subjects, comparing the published entry criteria, the most common grade profile for students currently on the course, and the lowest grades of a student on the course...
Another booklet made. 23 simple/compound interest questions that get progressively more challenging/interesting. #mathstoday #UKmathschat

In #mathstoday overheard a year 10 leaving our Underground Maths ECA say to his pal ‘I’m getting smarter every week!’ 🤩
Can recommend using the website for an extra curricular. Its layout is fun and the resources are ideally scaffolded to allow them do most of the exploring themselves.
