AS topics, our part 1 book. I'm no Madas but we have quite a few that i think you'd like towards the end of our exercises!

(Sorry its blatant book promotion but we wrote it because we aren't fans of the other options!)

The rest of the topics.... coming soon 😬

I literally TOLD THEM to write answers to that one in decimal places after the last test AND THEY'RE STILL USING FACTIONS (me earlier)

Much better they realise what we want and stop copying reform!

I learnt through phonics. My mum was quite backwards looking and taught me to read with Janet and John books from the 50s/ 60s. It was not the fashion at the time but it worked enough for me to able to read. I find it hard linking the physical reading with actually understanding though!

Good sign things are going well (for us)

Also we (I mainly) suggested that De Moivre and Newton argued about whether stats or mechanics was better since apparently they were friends. I suggested that it was probably really annoying being at a party with them.

I think they're probably sitting there pretty annoyed or defiant. I was one of those kids. First detention was for maths 😅

Very much this!

Aw thanks. Happy to hide behind him though!

That's me.

Eventually maybe, but they'd need a lot of buy in. Like that it was similar to exam questions

I had an alternative of a scaffolded set of questions, with less time as they needed longer to get the basics right. We spent more time on AFL because I picked up on a misconception.

I concur. It fits my teaching style

Oh I need one of these. We live near Paultons park so I tend to sing peppa pig music throughout modeling with trig!

The collaboration was really good. I have a particularly loud bunch of enthusiastic mathematicians and this really kept them busy and challenged.

I've never been in a political party before. But this week I was many of the droves of people joining the green party.

I look forward to being an activist in a party that has the right policies.

We do it Sixth Form College (rarely). It can be done in schools too, but schools got more money per head for post 16 so probably never wanted to.
