How effective are these multiple choice questions? See if you can figure out which papers / qualifications these are from! Find out more in my talk - this is on Sat 5th September in Liverpool! Get your tickets here: completemaths.com/community/ma... #ALevelMaths #Mathsconf41
Fascinating that multiple choice papers for A Level Maths were existence from June 1978 (almost 50 years ago) and it being running right up to January 1993 before it stopped. Find out more about its usefulness for our current A Level Maths / Further Maths syllabus in my talk on #Mathsconf41
Looking forward to preparing this at #Mathsconf41!

Looks like my X (Twitter) account has been compromised. If you received a message from (supposedly me) to click on something on an NCETM podcast, please ignore. I'm taking steps to get the account back.
Got to give this a go with a resource from @piximaths.bsky.social. Looks like last lesson sorted for my Y12 group for #ALevelMaths Thank you!

What a year! An honour to share with workgroup leads and the @ncetm.bsky.social with the impact that we have brought to raise attainment for all using teaching for mastery at #ALevelMaths. My thanks go to my school, to GLOW Maths Hub, and to many others (you know who you are) for your support.
Having now completed Paper 1 from Edexcel #ALevelMaths, here's my Best Guess of topics (consisting of a video checklist) to focus on for Paper 2. REMEMBER - topics from Paper 1 can still appear on Paper 2, so don't get caught out! mrmanmaths.wordpress.com/2026/06/05/p...

Looking through some alternative sources of questions that can be used for either Y12 and/or Y13, these source of questions came as a hidden gem. Below is from June 2024 Edexcel IGCSE Further Pure Definitely worth looking at - I've used a few for my Y12s! #ALevelMaths @andrewmaths1.bsky.social

A Level Further Maths starting tomorrow, and #ALevelMaths in a few weeks time, a reminder of the video checklists that I have produced: mrmanmaths.wordpress.com/2023/12/08/p... mrmanmaths.wordpress.com/2023/11/20/p... This is specifically for Pearson Edexcel, but other exam boards still useful!

International A-level syllabi - Part 2 In the previous part we've briefly discussed HK, SG and Sri Lanka. Today we'll go on to Malaysia and Carribean. This is just a brief introduction to international syllabi, inspired by @mr-man-maths.bsky.social's presentation at MathsConf.
As @mr-man-maths.bsky.social has covered International A-level Maths syllabi offered by Edexcel, Cambridge and Oxford AQA, I'd like to cover the local A-level syllabi that are taken in various countries just to see the differences in content and expectations. This is part 1 of the series.
I really like @andrewmaths1.bsky.social insights and cannot wait to see more about what other countries do (in equivalent to the UK A Level) #ALevelMaths

Woohoo! Great to see @andrewmaths1.bsky.social on BlueSky! Looking forward to seeing some great Maths questions and resources shared on this platform! Do follow him! #Mathstoday #ALevelMaths
In #MathsToday Oxford Mathematics have opened school applications for the pilot of our new free GCSE Maths mentoring scheme aimed at getting pupils from grade 7 up to grade 8 or 9 (or equiv.), with Oxford students as mentors. Now we just need schools to sign up! www.maths.ox.ac.uk/outreach/oxf...

Thank you Jo! Very honoured with the comments and reflections from my #mathsconf40 session. The question that Jo highlighted was from an HKDSE Compulsory paper - a very useful source to find some more challenging but not necessarily accelerate the pace of learning for students.
Jo Morgan @mathsjem.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew: a quick post about yesterday's #mathsconf40 www.resourceaholic.com/2026/04/math...
Highlights from my workshop today: These were the questions that the participants found interesting from papers abroad. What do you think? #MathsConf40
#mathsconf40 reminded me how awesome the community is despite the social media lull nowadays. Really enjoyed the sessions I was part of, particularly @mr-man-maths.bsky.social international questions... rich seam!
I have a feeling it was @andrewmaths1 - he still posts lots of questions. Thank you Matt - great session today!
Great day out at #mathsconf40 as always. Thanks to Joe Berwick, @mathsjem.bsky.social , @mathsadvance.bsky.social , @mr-man-maths.bsky.social and @blatherwicksam.bsky.social for their excellent sessions.
Fun day at #mathsconf40 today with Jill Hay and @drbennison.bsky.social. I learnt a new way of teaching inequalities to A Level Maths and FM that I’m excited about @blatherwicksam.bsky.social. I loved trying some international exam questions with @mr-man-maths.bsky.social.
Thank you so much for all that attended my workshop on looking at questions from overseas especially the Maths problems from 🇭🇰 Hong Kong which could be used for KS3, GCSE and #ALevelMaths. My slides will be updated to include links - look out for an email from @lasalleed.bsky.social! #Mathsconf40
I really like "Method 3" of how @blatherwicksam.bsky.social solves AS Further Maths inequalities. #Mathsconf40
Nice reminder that it is not just curve sketching that we can use for solving quadratic inequalities. We could use the boundary method too! @blatherwicksam.bsky.social This makes me think about my Y11s who still struggle with this topic - might just give it a go!
Fair play to Colin @aqaeducation.bsky.social! I asked from one of the National Workshops to do a workshop on this and now I'm listening to it! #MathsConf40
Ah, thanks @mathsjem.bsky.social for the shout out! Definitely look at exam papers from other sources for additional challenge for KS3 students #Mathsconf40
So lovely to see @mathsjem.bsky.social giving a shout out to @draustinmaths.com whilst listening at #Mathsconf40! There's also a few gems that were great reminders!
