Hi, I’m pretty sure my school advertises on TES. We will have 2 jobs next year, so will probably be advertising later this term or early next. Not sure if Lancaster is too far away though? It’s a lovely school to work at, speaking as someone who left teaching in 2016 due to toxicity.

Exactly! This then led to discussions about how many heads/tails in a row is suspicious, and if we put them all together for a run of 560, would that still be suspicious.

Loved reading this - thank you! Am going to try dropping in some of those in my spiel. Completely agree about coasting, and that’s something we’re trying to tackle as a department.

I always use the graphs. It’s what I used when I did A-level, and it helps them practise sketching them ready for transformations and modelling. I show them CAST, but I find some label it incorrectly and it can become a hindrance.

Fascinating read - thank you! As a maths teacher, this could provide the basis for an end-of year activity!
