As a KS3/4/5 maths teacher, what do you mark, and how often do you mark it? #MathsToday

Did this with my year 13s in #Alevelmaths as a gentle warm up.

Getting them to guess what f(x) and g(x) was and to find each area depending on their functions was less gentle! #Mathstoday

Love this! 👏🏼

Thought it might be useful to have a post of which exam boards people use for Maths, to help find each other when we have queries etc about the specification or where to find resources. Add yourself in a comment below if you're happy for people to know what you do- no obligation to do anything else!

Is anyone an Edexcel A-Level examiner that I can ask a few questions to, please? 😊 #MathsToday

📋 Assessment writing (across all key stages). Would love to see what is common practice out there. Do other maths departments rewrite their unit/end of year assessments every year? Do you ever reuse them? Please share as I’d love to hear back! #MathsToday @mathsjem.bsky.social

These look like a great resource for A level maths:
www.alphaworkbooks.co.uk
They are closing down, so his books are currently free to download from his website until the website closes. #Alevelmaths

I would start now - but you may find that you still want to review the upcoming lessons the week before you teach them so you feel confident with explanations! I found @bicenmaths.bsky.social videos super useful - you get to see how he teachers a particular concept

Maths Revision 2025 Updates

The following pages include collections of revision activities and practice papers. GCSE Revision 2025 A Level Maths and Further Maths Knowledge Organisers - Mathematics Recent updates include Dr Frost GCSE Maths Common Topics papers. This collection also includes…

Exam marking consistency: Ofqual must publish the data - SecEd There were 75,000 grade changes to GCSE, A level and AS level exam results following appeals in 2024

Of 330,000 or so #GCSE, AS & #Alevel grade appeals in 2024, around 220,000 marking errors were found resulting in almost 75,000 grade changes. Dennis Sherwood calls on #exams watchdog Ofqual to begin routinely publishing marking consistency metrics buff.ly/3CV1qZk #edusky

I crowd-sourced a list of maths-themed books recently. Not so well-curated as yours, but if anybody gets the bug and wants more, they can find the list and some background info here: tommaths.blogspot.com/2024/09/book...

In #MathsToday, I created this resource to help my Year 11s with their approach to the last question of a Higher paper. Idea is from goalfreeproblems.blogspot.com, worked answers and videos from mathsgenie.co.uk/papers.php. Made each question a goal free problem: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/73vd8...

6 questions of the form: On a copy of this diagram, mark the cointerior/corresponding/alternate angle. The solutions have been drawn on, with the transversals highlighted in yellow.

6 diagrams with some angles given, including ones not needed to answer the question, and one missing that has to be found. They have been answered with the transversals highlighted in yellow.

I used to encourage students to highlight F or Z shapes for parallel lines questions, but today I just told Y9 to highlight the transversal. It’s an easier first step, and they were almost always then able to immediately see what to do next.

Also, I love these MathsPad questions!

Added to the website from last half term:
✨Forming and solving equations crack the code
Provided plenty of challenge for Year 9 mathematicians... and hopefully of use to anyone teaching this any time soon. Find it at www.draustinmaths.com/algebra

What mathematical enrichment opportunities (ran internally or something you take part in externally) are available for your KS3 students, aside from UKMT? Would love to hear from schools in the UK and internationally #MathsToday

GCSE Maths Teachers!! I know lots of you use my half past papers with Year 11s for weekly homework / revision. Do you have any ideas for improvement for me? What would you like to see next? #gcsemaths #mathstoday #mathsteacher

In my role of KS5 Maths Coordinator, a passion project of mine over the last 3 years has been to launch A-Level Statistics at my school. I successfully launched and now have two cohorts studying towards their A-Level Stats. As is known, there aren't a lot of resources out there so ... #alevelmaths

In #MathsToday I got asked by my Year 11 student-‘How can I “train” myself to access or attempt to pick up marks on the last question of a paper?’which made me think..how am I preparing my top set Year 11 for the last few questions?This was in reference to the last question of the 2024 June Paper 3

In #MathsToday I’m looking for ideas/research links for what effective feedback looks like in maths. This could be for an end of term/end of unit assessment or any type of formative / summative test. Would really appreciate comments on what you do that works across any key stage! Thank you 🙌🏼

Looking to see if any international British curriculum schools offer alternative provision for students that aren’t able to access KS3/GCSE Maths? 🙌🏼 Would love to hear what you have in place. Thank you. #MathsToday

#mathstoday How do you develop or focus on mathematical oracy in your classroom?

I really like this idea. Could I ask what else you discussed please? Or anywhere I can find research/resources? I’m looking for ideas for a mathematical literacy CPD. Thanks!

In #MathsToday, we trialled a new approach to tackling worded problems. It’s very interesting to see what students class as ‘key words’. We have a way to go but I think it’s a good start!

Just curious, how many ‘rounds’ of A-Level Maths did you teach before taking on Further Maths? #ALevelMaths #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #ALevelFurtherMaths

Yes please!
