@Penda205 Yes, have done the same or how did you choose?

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@AQAMaths @CoreMathsCat @p_glaister @DidcotSixthForm So, we decided today that we're going with AQA #Coremaths although we've not yet decided on which of the 3 optional papers. Hopefully running in Sept 2022. Exciting times! 🥳

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@CoreMathsCat @AQAMaths @p_glaister @DidcotSixthForm Signed me and a friend from school up today too, to the 'new to teaching core maths' course. An end of term spurt of energy!

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@CoreMathsCat I've taken AQA, MEI & Pearson to Head of Science, Geography & Business Studies for their views, have I missed anything or anyone?

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@CoreMathsCat @p_glaister It's how it interlinks with other subjects

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@p_glaister @CoreMathsCat 2/n.. any thoughts on how to decide?

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@p_glaister @CoreMathsCat ...2/n.. A level maths? How do I go about deciding which aspect to focus on? I believe there is engineering, business studies, biology as options but u need to know the strengths of each to make the right choice for our students. Anything I can read or..

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@p_glaister @CoreMathsCat I need to write a blurb for the 6th form prospectus for our proposal for running #CoreMaths. I need to include which aspect of context / real life maths we will be teaching, in my ignorance I'm seeing it like choosing the applied modules in the old ..1/n

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

#ourncejourney Really looking forward to starting my coaching training journey!

@arryharris @Red_Maths @hartmaths @mathsmrgordon @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths Interesting. Is your uptake mostly students doing 3 AL + Core maths or are they more the apprenticeship / vocational route?

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@mathsmrgordon @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths I'd like to offer more at KS5 maths than A-level maths, what's the consensus on the Core Maths qualification? Who is it aimed at and is it of value? Please retweet.

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@Red_Maths @hartmaths @mathsmrgordon @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths How do you offer it in your timetable? Which board are you with, and why!?

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

@p_glaister @Mathematical_A @mathsmrgordon @mathsjem @mrbartonmaths @CoreMathsCat This is great, thank you! Are you able to put me in touch with a school who teach core maths? Ideally one that resembles my own (State, high A level maths uptake)? I'd like some details on who it's marketed to and how it's timetabled. Does it have a data set like AL..

@HayleyGirl10 @MissNGrace EVERYBODY loves stickers, they're not just for primary!

@missradders We only enter students for FS if we think they can't get a grade at GCSE. In my opinion, stick with the GCSE

[Zoë Gothard @GothardZoe]

Has @AQAMaths put out any details or resources for the level 2 certificate in Further Maths? There seem only to be the SAMS for the new spec 3 years in which seems thin, or am I missing something?

So I’m not getting a vaccine next week - was feeling weird about why I’d been selected ahead of others so rang GP to check. Turns out they had my height as 6.2cm rather than 6 ft 2, giving me a BMI of 28,000 😂
