@n_sam29 @missradders So it’s the wording of the question. It’s asking the invariant point of the transformation, rather than the shape.

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

Can an invariant point not be part of a shape or its image after a transformation? Came across a GCSE paper where the invariant point is the centre of rotation but that point isn’t on either object or image.

@Sheena2907 @MathsNot @PearsonEdexcel @missradders @MrsMathematica Interested in this too

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@Sheena2907 Sometimes teachers get bogged down with resources and forget to ‘plan’ their questions around them. Sometimes it’s not what give you a student, but what you ask them too.

@Dave_Connell_11 @Dempseymaths @LearningMaths @VMN_alex @MrMattock @MrTaylorMaths2 @Whitehughes Well if we are then we need to stick to flat faces. And not curved ones

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@Dave_Connell_11 @Dempseymaths @LearningMaths @VMN_alex @MrMattock @MrTaylorMaths2 @Whitehughes Depends, are we being Eulerian or not.

@mathsjem @missradders Hi, I teach abroad. Is there plans for an online only ticket?

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@azfellsbkshp Case is awesome. Choice of teabags not so much.

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

New Lego project on the go. Sure @Sheena2907 will approve…

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@BeccaDawn1105 @craigdyoung @Akaria35 @sharonmgilligan @maddyrc14 Congrats Becca! (Have you forgiven me yet? - seeing as you’ve risen to HoD)

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@CMaths3 @missradders 8 for both. 7 can take AS as a fourth over two years (helps our students needing post 16 maths for Canadian and other universities)

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@Sheena2907 Me too! Upskilling and teaching F.mech1 and F.stats1 next year 😬

@Rafa26106339 @MissHop10166977 @missradders @MissFullerMaths @Sheena2907 @blatherwick_sam It was a prioritisation task. 4 or 5 “emails” and tasks and had to explain how I would handle prioritise them. Along side a data analysis task, shooting trends and working out headline figures

@robotmaths Not free for international schools ☹️

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@robotmaths @RobJLow @MrDepala @CantabKitty @mathsjem @Whitehughes Is it common in the UK to have inflated “UCAS” grades? Would we doing a disservice if we tried to be as honest and optimistic as possible (trying to maintain integrity? Do the universities know that they are inflated? What happens to the conditional offers not met?

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@MrDepala @robotmaths @mathsjem @Whitehughes So here goes: using past cohorts data we now have 2 years worth. Soon to be 3. We use a line of regression against UMS at AS and A-Level. This we then use as a starting point to “predict” A-Level UMS from AS. Caveats: Large cohorts >70 , similar intakes, not solely based on this.

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@robotmaths Thanks for collating our students found it so helpful! Will keep a look out for any more applied resources

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

@robotmaths @Whitehughes @missradders @mrsouthernmaths Thanks. Saw your tweet as soon I tweeted mine.

[Mr Tank @MrTankMaths]

Anyone done any topic analysis for likely topics on A-level Edexcel Pure Paper 2? Before I do my own? @robotmaths @Whitehughes @missradders @mrsouthernmaths
