I've also found that female students are much more likely to take A Level Maths if they are simply told they can. I read an article years ago about explicitly telling girls they are good enough to do it and it seems to work.

We have found the biggest factor in our A Level Maths uptake is who the Y11 top set teachers are.

If students can form a relationship with their P16 teacher in Y11, they are much more likely to take it.

Obviously, not possible for all centres.

Hi Claire,

There's a free trial on the site if you want a look.

If you need anything, let us know.

I find teaching exponentials is an excellent opportunity to work on their transformation skills. Get them sketching as many as possible with a variety of transformations.

That's ridiculous. How annoying.

Our oven clock hasn't been right in about 4 months. I keep meaning to do something about it. That and the microwave.

Ah, nice.

Thanks, the A Level site is still free to use. Let me know if you need any help getting set up.

Great, I'll make sure I use it!

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

I live in Waverley so not far at all. I work in Ridgewood School Doncaster.

I'd be more than happy to have a chat some time.

Amazing thanks!
