Exciting day in the @GLOWMaths region as we’re hosting our annual MathsFest event for Secondary teachers across Gloucs & Worcs #letstalkmaths

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@reflectivemaths You’re such a ⭐️ putting these together! Thank you again @reflectivemaths

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@reflectivemaths If they can remember how to use their calculator functions then usually OK, although often use y and x whatever the variables in the question.

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@reflectivemaths And the interpretation of what a and b mean in context, whilst only usually 1 or 2 marks in an exam, is probably the bit they find hardest

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@reflectivemaths This is again a problem when rearranging something like y=3.47-1.95x to find x given y. They can solve 2 step but the decimals throw them no matter how much I stress the process is just the same.

@CoreMathsTom @WTA @SubaMaths @pelkiotis @CoreMathsCat Just saved the photo for future Core Maths use and then noticed your comment - great minds … 😁😁

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@DrBennison I would 🙋🏻‍♀️

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@DrBennison Amazing! My FM boys are going to love this!

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

So many great, free CPD options for Maths departments across Gloucs & Worcs to choose from!

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

I would 100% recommend this work group to all A Level teachers in the Gloucs/Worcs region. @mr_man_maths is a fantastic work group lead who builds a really supportive, collaborative community of colleagues in his work groups #mathshubs #mathscpd

Teaching A Level Maths? Want to go deeper into the pedagogy of mathematical modelling? Are you teaching in the Gloucestershire / Worcestershire area (@GLOWMaths)?

Then come along to our work group which takes place @NorthBromsgrove on 7th November!

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@mr_man_maths Well done! Nothing more than your hard work deserves 👏🏼

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@CoreMathsTom @MrJ_Maths I know exactly what you mean! I often say I’ve never needed to recall the causes of the Abyssinia Crisis yet I still learnt that in GCSE History - and found it quite interesting too!

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@Whitehughes @mrsouthernmaths @whithughes No worries - it really is a great book. Very thought provoking. I definitely need to move proof earlier in my teaching!

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

Love the slow starts on summer holiday mornings for the chance to sit with my eldest & read our latest books. I am absolutely loving my choice - so many great ideas that will definitely improve my A Level teaching, and my department’s. Thank you @mrsouthernmaths & @Whithughes

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@mrsouthernmaths @whithughes It really is. Can’t wait to share it with the rest of the department.

[Jenny Cains @JellyMaths]

@EllieJones2 @mrsouthernmaths @whithughes You won’t be disappointed 😁👍🏼 it’s really interesting and making me question lots of my own practice
