New! My 203rd gems post. Ideas, resources and updates for maths teachers. www.resourceaholic.com/2026/10/5-ma... Lots of great stuff in this one! #ukmathschat #alevelmaths

Primary resources help - What's a good set of workbooks to use these days, a bit like an updated version of the old MEP resources? Looking for something that covers all of primary ideally. For extra practice to do at home. Preferably available in physical form!

#Mathstoday Used this lovely Mathsbot task. So many of my students said the red shape had the greatest perimeter.

What resources are put there for Pearson Statistics A-Level? Is there a decent textbook? Has anyone implemented it at their school, if so how is it goingl? #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

TMUA/ESAT Resources Update: Due to popular demand I've uploaded the worksheets and answers in pdf form on Google Drive. Link below. drive.google.com/drive/folder... Please let me know if you find any errors. Questions are taken from lots of sources, some are more obscure than others. c:

TMUA mocks now live on the free @meimaths.bsky.social and AMSP course 'TMUA On Demand'! Original questions available nowhere else... written by humans! Pass on to your year 13s in their final weeks of prep. #TMUA #ALevelMaths amsp.org.uk/higher-level...

The letter I'd like to send to parents ... maths is not fecking genetic... lets stop maths bashing ... one person at a time .. justmaths.co.uk/the-letter-i...

BREAKING NEWS: New cat species just dropped! 🧪 What is a tilcayo, exactly? Well, it's a small wild cat in the genus Leopardus and a member of the tiger cat species complex, but it is NOT a tigrina, oncilla, kodkod, Geoffroy's cat... www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

This inspired me to make something with claude about transformations of the form f(ax+b) Have a play with it here: jammyix.github.io/orderoftrans... (well aware there are many similar versions of this about online with desmos etc, but wanted to see what claude could do)

Another early question for new Year 12 FM pupils. This one is intended to show them that mathematics (at A-Level) doesn't really have 'hard' topics, we can make it all 'hard'! #MathsToday #AlevelMaths #UKMathsChat

Could not be happier at what this question I wrote threw up as discussion points in today's lesson. Even better than I had hoped. #mathstoday #alevelmaths

It’s a small percentage of students who resit more than twice (and should we admire them for their resilience?) - so most of them aren’t on an “endless cycle”

Eclipse shining through gaps in the leaves of a bush onto our wall yesterday! Pretty cool 🌘

5 a day continues to be one of the best maths resources about IMO

Opus 5 going well so far

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

It was “explain why 3.7 does not round to 3 to the nearest whole number“ and if they put “it rounds to 4 “they got a mark, but if they put it rounds to 4.0 they didn’t

Banger quotes throughout the book: “The fact that there’s a low probability that an AI will be able to do your job doesn’t change the fact that there’s a high probability that an AI salesman will convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can’t do your job” (65).

It's Mental Math Monday! How would you mentally calculate 47+48?

Hypothesis Testing with Normal Distribution in #MathsToday Still trying to create structured resources for my Y12s before we get onto them tackling trickier questions so completion tables are almost always the way forward! #AlevelMaths PDF here: chelekmaths.com/a-level/

Yesterday I did a Y9/10 show about game theory. I talked about penalty-taking and how strikers should aim straight more often. Last night 22 penalties were taken in the #WorldCup. Only 12 of them were scored, 4 saved, 6 missed the target! Not one was aimed straight. robeastaway.com/blog/penalty...

If I see one more "it's just summer" or "what are we teaching kids by cancelling sports day? It's only 38 degrees" or "no one complained in 1976" post my head's gonna pop

AMIE's "FE, Lifelong Learning, Post-16 Level 3 Education - Online Conference" is today - m-a.org.uk/webinar All recorded and will be available afterwards if you can't make it. Definitely plenty of names in the call I recognise from here!

I once enjoyed a bag of sweets before a maths exam, which included 6 orange sweets (the rest were yellow). You'll never guess what then appeared on the exam paper!

Today's date is 6/7 so let's talk about how cool the decimal representation for sevenths is.

Kids were just watching a Number blocks episode I'd never seen. Including infinity voiced by Brian Cox. 10/10 casting 😂 👌 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002rxpc

Why did I never think to use Dairylea triangles in class???!

I don't think the Edexcel A Level Maths paper 1 seemed too bad at all. Certainly not deserving of the petition that has appeared about it! It wouldn't be an exam year without a good petition though

Really interesting article from Craig Barton which echoes some of my own thoughts too about use of AI for maths resource creation and learning open.substack.com/pub/eedi/p/t...

This was on a local company's website, selling firewood A lot of "interesting" maths in here to unpack! Stick this on the board and see what students notice.

As of yesterday, as Liverpool won the league, the list of Premier League winning teams now forms a Fibonacci sequence 😎

This does actually look good to be fair

In #ALevelMaths #MathsToday (yesterday actually) we started with this lovely activity that someone shared at the maths conference last year. We went on to look at geometric and matrix proofs of the addition formulae.

The calendar effect always intrigues me. The lottery of birth month has such a huge impact. Born in August, rather than September? Likely to do significantly worse because of how our school system works.

At #mathsconf37 @mathsjem.bsky.social did a ‘fun with factorising’ session and taught us this fun way of factorising. I came home and showed my year 11 son, he did the second one and liked the new (well, very old!) method! Thanks Jo! #MathsToday
