Or when a school went to great lengths to remove all branding and copyright marks from my original work. Or when I try to help education children about the dangers of poor quality paid for "predicted" papers online.

It's only me that you seem to personally attack though. For instance when I had issues with YouTube (again the creators you frequently support were incredibly sympathetic and would equally be seeking support in the same situation).
Not everyone who is a content creator is a "grifter" though but you tar everyone with the same brush in many of your comments. It's also inconsistent that you support Bicenmaths and Hannah Kettle frequently, both great friends of mine, who also made a living from content creation.
It is clear from your reddit post history (and comments here about my income) that you have a real issue with people leaving the profession and I get that. It's probably very difficult to accept that I do this for a job instead of doing it "for real" anymore but that's just the path I have chosen.
I simply blocked you in response to you blocking me on all platforms for calling out your behaviour. I know it's tough when someone bites back to your bullying but you really need to think before you post. If you did you wouldn't need to keep deleting your posts afterwards.
AQA 1F Practice Paper #mathstoday

Thinking about it saying aroot(5), b and asking for a and b is probably the best option but it's done now!
Yeah I added that line in when editing the video as I realised a = 1 and b = 20 is technically possible. I just wasn't thinking right suggesting all were positive. What I really wanted to say was "you cannot use a = 1". I've just removed the line again completely as it is as it was.
A minor change to a question on the AQA 1H. Please use this copy:

Thanks so much for doing this. Iโd really appreciate if where possible you can refer to it as practice rather than predicted with students. I am trying to break down the idea that several large companies spin about powers of prediction.

Yes
Always amazed at Y11 who still want to cheat on mocks or use chatgpt for homework!
Yes all ok now but thank you!
Thank you! Indeed it is non urgent.
Still needing some people to help test out AQA style papers that I have written. If you are able to give them a try please send me a message or reply here.
Currently in a casio webinar. Looks like they've actually listened. The new calculators have solved so many of my issues with the previous ones!
Looking for people to test out a practice paper I have made for AQA higher. Send me a message or leave a reply. Thanks. ๐

Do the notional component boundaries (by paper) need to sum to the overall boundaries? I make AQA foundation 160 for a 4 based on components but it is 158 overall?

These unit sheets are so versatile. Iโve done them with the Edexcel SoW. Set them as a cover lesson with the guiding video, use them in class as a lesson or set them as homework. Perfect for KS4. www.hannahkettlemaths.co.uk/cover
Sorry all I have managed to break my collarbone (again, same one in Sept!) so wonโt be able to use my computer properly again for a couple of months. I do still need help checking but might be a while!
Anyone fancy testing out a paper I have written? (For Edexcel higher).
I made a thing!

Hi everyone! Please share this to any secondary Maths teachers ๐:
I have created a Christmas Maths exam paper in the style of Edexcel for my year 11 class for a bit of fun. Please feel free to use it too:

Are your students using studyapps? There are plenty out there teaching them the wrong content... My thoughts on the one most aggressively marketed right now (MedlyAI)
