Looking forward to catching up with people at two upcoming events:
BCME is this week: a 2 day conference with a focus on academia/research.
#mathsconf42 is a Saturday conference in November with a very different teacher-led vibe, where I’m presenting on simultaneous equations
I made a site with all the Edexcel past paper questions for Maths. Mark Schemes included and Videos will be a work in progress! All questions link to the original papers on the Pearson Edexcel website. https://t.co/Zg9LVwj1qY
If you join https://t.co/e9WktYsULm you get a four week free trial, with no card details requested when you sign up. So why not join now and see what we're discussing? It's a great place for maths teachers, TLR holders, heads of maths etc to share ideas and learn from each other.
New this week, my Much Ado About Numbers website which celebrates the links between maths, Shakespeare and Elizabethan history. Have a go at the quiz - can you score more than 3 out of 10?
Here's the website. Enjoy! https://t.co/iNRN3qSEz8
