In #MathsToday, Year 12 looked at some graph intersections and solving some simultaneous equations, and then sketching the graphs!

Lovely task for #ALevelMaths 😍
In #MathsToday (well the highlight of this week)
A few nice tasks with my Lower Sixth FM task.
This one certainly challenged them more than I thought on their rules of indices
Pdf available on this page: kshancock.co.uk/aleveltasks....

In #MathsToday, Year 12 and I enjoyed doing some Susan Wall tasks.
I particularly enjoyed this one. We matched the graphs up, and then found the coordinates of all the interesting points.

Spent a slightly painful 15 minutes discussing Q2 with Y12 today. The problem wasn’t with spotting the patterns, but trying to formulate that into full sentences. If you teach #ALevelMaths, I’d be interested to know how your students get on with similar “describe and explain” tasks. #MathsToday

Good morning! Does anyone have a nice graphic of the set notation symbols, including the R, N for real numbers, natural numbers, etc - I’m sure i had something, but can’t find it! #ALevelMaths

In #mathstoday #alevelmaths I did the simultaneous equations activity from the Mathematical Association Pure Mathematics Book (the one with the green cover)- it was a great first task to enable me to get to know my year 12 FM classes and get them talking and working together.

This year for #ALevelMaths I have a weekly 30 min workshop to help students prep for entrance exams (year 13 this term, then year 12 from Jan). I’m working through the integral ODPD to prepare before term starts. Any other tips?

The striking anomaly of repeating 3 questions in Papers 1 and 2 and the consequent omission of multiple core topics that were tested in all previous years makes the Pearson Maths A Level distinctly different and therefore "not comparable" to previous years.
