My year 2 students are still talking about this, so I’m excited this is back. Is there a poster this year, so we can generate excitement? I can’t find one!

Ooh - that’s an interesting task. I’m sure I have a class I could try that with next week. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I had students do this in the summer and they have really enjoyed it. Definitely going to get some of the new cohort signed up!

Definitely agreed about losing a mark…but 2 out of 5 felt harsh given how much other work was done perfectly! Clearly will be adding it to a ‘why brackets matter’ rant!

I also have links for the Oxford live stream and the incoming MEI on-demand courses to pass to students.

Same for Edexcel. I had a student 1 mark off their grade who wrote sin x ^4 instead of sin^4 x all the way through a CP1 proof. Intent was clear and every step was perfect, but they lost the first B1 and hence the final A1. Seemed harsh to lose 2 marks for poor notation.
