Currently auditing what we do for #alevelmaths transition, from Y11 to Y12, at my school. I’m curious to hear what other schools do. Do you run an induction lesson? If so, what maths do you do in that induction lesson? What transition work do you set?

In #mathstoday, I’ve tried something new when marking #coremaths mocks. To try & reduce the “where did I lose marks?” questions on the big Paper 1 mock questions, I’m trialling a sticker detailing what is needed for each mark, which I can tick as I go. Made estimation & tax/NI marking much easier 😁

Matt is such a great ambassador for the GLOW Maths Hub. We’re so lucky to have him as an LLME. If you’re Teaching A Level Maths in Gloucs/Worcs, make sure you sign up for his Developing A Level Pedagogy work group.

Day 1 of @ncetm.bsky.social training for Developing A Level pedagogy completed #ALevelMaths. An honour to be asked to lead a 10 minute session on observing learning to all the A Level LLMEs. Based in Gloucs/Worcs? Then come to the workgroup that I'll be leading. Info: amsp.org.uk/event/73f968...

Started the binomial expansion today with Year 12. Introduced it a different way to normal and it actually worked really well 😁 also started randomly assigning partners at the start of each lesson using playing cards - definitely recommend this for collaboration outside of friendship groups ♥️♠️♦️♣️

In #ALevelMaths today, our @ncetm.bsky.social GLOW Maths Hub workgroup planned, delivered and reflected on a lesson for my Year 13 group on modelling with trigonometry at North Bromsgrove High School. Pupils were brilliant, the participants enjoyed it, and all of us are now inspired from this!
