GCSE results are out tomorrow. The data tells you real things, and it can't be trusted on others. Some thoughts for middle leaders on what to actually claim from your results before drawing conclusions: enserm.substack.com/p/what-your-...

Insights from A-levels: Maths has 115k entries & Eng Lit just 36k. 20 yrs ago they both had about 50k A generation of kids will be far more familiar with quadratics & conditional probability than Mr Rochester & Ophelia. Bayes is destroying Defoe... substack.nomoremarking.com/p/the-fall-o...

What is the cause, is it a problem - and if so, what can we do about it?

A few weeks ago, I asked for different ways a student might notice they've made a mistake. I'd now love your ideas for techniques that can students use to check their answers. e.g. - substitute a solution back in to check it works - redo a question with a different method bsky.app/profile/nath...

What warning signs could students pick up on that they might have gone wrong in an answer? e.g. - an unexpected negative/decimal answer, - an answer requiring many more/fewer steps than the number of marks would suggest, - an answer that would be weird in context (e.g. a taxi costing £3000) ...

Maths teaching thought for the day: Students should meet almost all maths topics long before they see any formalised notation for them. E.g. This, before algebraic simultaneous equations.

✨NEW✨ resources added this morning - challenging volume and surface area questions involving all sorts of compound shapes. Find them at www.draustinmaths.com/volume-and-surface-area #MathsToday #UKMathsChat

Data comes as government prepares to publish plans to overhaul Send system in England One in six autistic pupils have not been to school at all since the start of this academic year, according to a new survey which found that mental health issues were often behind high levels of school absence. Nearly half (45%) of the parents and children who responded to the UK-wide survey by the Ambitious About Autism charity said they felt “blamed” by the government for the absences.

Core Maths teachers - I’m looking at misleading diagrams/charts with my class on Friday. Anyone got any ‘great’ ones I can share with them? I’m going to use this classic but on the look out for a few more crackers @ecrmaths.bsky.social @davegjones.bsky.social @coremathscat.bsky.social

Maths teachers- can I ask how much curriculum time per week do your Y10 and Y11 classes get? Thank you!
