TEXTBOOK RECOMMENDATION (I don't get any sponsorship for this, simply wanted to share what I've been using for years.) If you're interested in Australian maths exams, you must have come across this classic. Well-organised textbook with lots of practice questions for students of all abilities.

New (free) TMUA resource. Three pairs of mini-TMUA exams (8 questions each) on themes (Logic & Proof; Geometry & Graphs; Algebra). Do one of the pair, think about the answers (provided), then do the second of the pair with more confidence. www.tes.com/teaching-res... 70 days and counting...

The first wave of A‑level self‑study resources has landed — perfect for independent revision. First topics now available: • Binomial Distribution • Sine & Cosine Rules • Differentiation — with plenty more topics on the way. Browse the new sets here: southportmaths.co.uk/a-level/

Really enjoying creating some new lessons for KS5 in #Mathstoday. Here are a couple of the slides from Y2 Trig Modelling. Interested to see what people think! #ALevelMaths

I believe someone posted some helpful links for students sitting ESAT, but can't find them now. Anyone have some suggestions?-- asking as a parent, not a teacher (for a change!) Thanks

@ecrmaths.bsky.social @themathsbazaar.bsky.social @ridermeister.bsky.social I recently came across a cool website with TMUA practice papers. Some questions are quite creative - highly recommend y'all to have a look before the year starts! jzmaths.com/papers

One of the things I want to improve with as an #ALevelMaths teacher is my knowledge of #physics in order to teach mechanics without just saying "it's magic, right?!" Any recommendations of introductory books/texts for this?

Morning all. There is an account called "Rob Southern fan" using a picture of Jack Brown as it's profile pic that's reposting and commenting on lots of my posts. I've blocked the account and would appreciate you doing the same. 🙂

#MathsToday Core maths teachers where do you get your lesson resources from, hit me with the best places. Also, where do you send your students to revise CM? Are there any particular websites to direct them to?

I've been playing with the @desmos.com notebook tool over the past few days. Here's one with parametric trig equations. Suggestions welcome. www.desmos.com/notebook/xf0... #iteachmath #mathstoday #mtbos

Just a newbie trying to understand practice accross school/opinions: Alevel maths teaching for one year group (let's say Y12): 1) Do you split Half Pure/Stats & Half Pure/Mech between 2 teachers 2) Do you split Pure & Stats/Mech between 2 teachers 3) Other. Which? #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

Construction (perpendicular bisector) I have a monthly newsletter that I send out to my dept. thought I’d share it here as it’s all about construction mathshko.com/2017/10/04/c...

For those who support students preparing for TMUA (used by Oxford, Cambridge and many other aspirational universities for Maths/Comp Sci/Econ), I made a few free resources, including: www.tes.com/teaching-res... and www.tes.com/teaching-res... although my favourite is www.tes.com/teaching-res...

Some tasks for plotting straight lines expressed implicitly. Task 1 is a fairly straightforward set of equations to plot. #ukmathsteachers

And another....

Variation on a theme (the task probably already exists...)

Three regular hexagons. The smallest has area 6. What’s the pink area? #geometrypuzzle

In each diagram, the green area and blue area are equal

For anyone interested, I've uploaded one of our booklets for sharing (Unit 1 : Points and Lines) but this is still a work in progress to some extent! sxpmaths.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

I've finally put together a blog about all the changes I've been making to the sequence in which we teach A Level Maths. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions! sxpmaths.wordpress.com/2026/03/26/a... @tickyvanner.bsky.social @runningstitch314.bsky.social

Saw something recently about AI making an incorrect quadratic graph. Gave me an idea to use AI to create "common sense" check questions. Students often don't check if their answer makes sense. I try to embed this in my teaching, this will help. Started with quadratics #mathstoday shorturl.at/Y7jfq

proportion and ratio tables #maths

I got carried away and made a thing... Testers welcome! #alevelmaths #mathstoday #alevelrevision #mathsrevision

The more you stare at this, the worse it gets. Going to ask students how many faults they can find with it!

Thought this might be worth a reshare for people having conversations with year 12s about university applications. A spreadsheet of UCAS data by STEM subject (tabs along bottom) showing published entry criteria, most common grade profile and lowest grades of students accepted on to the course. 1/2

I'm already planning for September... a first. My new first-year IB AA SL students will be welcomed back with this task on equations, graphs and gradient. The idea is to tease out how they think as a mathematician and set us up for some work on straight line graphs. #MathsToday
