Can anyone recommend a student workbook we can give to top Foundation y10 students to support them to move up to higher please? (They already have the @justmaths.bsky.social crossover and higher books!) #mathstoday Thanks

In #mathstoday my son has asked me for some challenging OCR Add Maths #fsmq questions in prep for tomorrow - all I can find are past papers, and he's done them all. Anyone know of anything please?
A friend of mine in a great school in Sussex has asked me to share this: www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy... #MathsToday

Help please - I can’t understand why this reduction to linear form question says “gradient b” rather than “gradient log b”? (Excuse messy working - trying to explain to my son for his Add Maths in a spare 3 mins before dinner!) I don’t have access to the solutions. Thanks! #Alevelmaths
As my colleague has nicked my copy of Teaching A Level Maths @susanwhitehouse.bsky.social @mrsouthernmaths.bsky.social, I need ideas for introducing hypothesis testing (edexcel stats y1) pls. My class are v mixed and I think will need lots of support with this. Any ideas pls? #ALevelMaths
And if you have seen any of my #MathsToday posts over the last few years, you’ll already have an idea of how great our shared resources are. We have lots of involvement with @vennmathshub.bsky.social too. Plus you get to work with really lovely people, and enjoy the occasional Waffle Friday 🧇
Anyone else going to the AMSP #ALevelMaths problem solving conference at the NCVO in London today?
Anyone know of any resources for the new Edexcel Extended Maths Certificate please? My son is sitting it and as it’s new we can’t find much - except on Twinkl (well done @mrmattock.bsky.social )!
It seems that @casiojapan.bsky.social have changed their calculator again, just when we'd almost got used to the new one, and loads of kids have them. Now there is another different model to deal with - apparently the S-D key is back! Not fair.
Big Q: my HoD is worried that given the #edexcel grade boundary hike last yr (esp at G6) more schs might put more kids in for F rather than H, and this will hike grade boundaries yet again. He is considering moving to #AQA. I know it should be fair, but poss isn’t? Thoughts please! #mathstoday
In #mathstoday I’ve been desperately trying to find some short videos I remember on the maths needed in various careers, aimed at KS3/4 (rather than A Level which I can find on AMSP @meimaths.bsky.social ) I’m sure one featured Grove Lodge Vets in Brighton. Any ideas anyone pls? Or similar?
In #mathstoday I discovered that the @cambridgeocr.bsky.social Add Maths FSMQ and paper 2 of @aqaeducation.bsky.social L2 Further Maths are both pm of June 15th, with Physics GCSE in the morning. Now I know not many candidates will sit both but surely there will be some? Seems like poor planning!
In #mathstoday my further mathematicians told me it was their favourite A Level as "it makes us realise how everything links up" 😁😁 #ALevelMaths
Can I just check please, has skew now gone from Edexcel @ALevelMaths ?
Really enjoyed my session at #MathsConf39 today and it was lovely to see so many people there. @justmaths.bsky.social @mathsjem.bsky.social @mrsdenyer.bsky.social @mrmattock.bsky.social @rjs2212.bsky.social @nathanday.bsky.social @brunoreddy.bsky.social @tessmaths.bsky.social and lots 1st times too!

In #ALevelMaths today we looked at why inverse matrices work, which I am very happy about. I haven’t taught this before and was getting cross at the seemingly random stuff to learn! I didn’t do matrices until my degree and that was a loooong time ago. #MathsToday
I read a great blog the other day, presumably recent as I found it through a weekly digest. It talked about breaking down tricky topics and used the hormones in the menstrual cycle as an example. Now I can't find it - any ideas please? My son is studying this and there was a great diagram! Thnx
Stats - about to teach the dreaded Large Data Set - I’ve not done it for a few years. Anyone got any ideas on what students can do with it usefully on laptops please? #ALevelMaths
#ALevelMaths please get involved in helping to produce some A-Level transition matrices for AQA A-Level maths.
Thanks to those who have sent data already. To hopefully make it easier to submit your prior attainment and @aqaeducation.bsky.social Maths A-Level Grade please use the file linked here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pdqqh... DM me for instructions on when to send it. Hoping to share beginning of November.

OCR Additional Maths - where are the best places to find practise and resources please? Lots for L2 Further but less for this! Thanks #ALevelMaths #MathsToday
@mathsjem.bsky.social just reading your latest blog and I do sympathise with your stance on graphical calcs at A Level. We changed to @numworks.bsky.social and a benefit is it has a free identical phone app, so you could just have a school set to lend out for exams to save them buying?
Sussex Maths Hub Subject Leaders Conference kicks off with Emma McCrea talking Curriculum @oaknational.bsky.social First time ever we have had Maths Leaders from East and West Sussex and Brighton and Hove all in one room! @ncetm.bsky.social
#ALevelMaths question please Mod graphs I know they need to sketch y = mod(2x+3) Do they still also need to do y= 2mod(x)+3? Used to be in C3 but very vague in pure 2 textbook, can't see any questions like the latter? Thanks
