@cchapman85 That’s a good point, I’ve not fully embraced* the new calculator so why should I expect to get used to it if I keep running back to the original classwiz. Perhaps I need to commit - maybe in September!
*barely used might be more accurate!
Seem to think there was a discussion about alternatives to the latest classwiz calculator recently but I can’t find the posts, were any feasible, non graphical, alternatives identified for A level/GCSE?
@Sheena2907 I don’t think so as GCSE Stats doesn’t count as passing grade 4 maths in terms of a resit etc, and it generally sits in the optional buckets in Progress 8 of our students. We do GCSE stats in year 10 for our whole cohort
This month the Boolean Maths Hub and the AMSP are running a teach meet for #CoreMaths
There will be time to consider the benefits for students studying Core Maths, share strategies to set up or extend Core Maths provision, and to do some maths!

@Whitehughes @mrsouthernmaths@colinfoster77 For identities or inequalities considering LHS-RHS, (and for identities the ensuing joy of smashing everything in sight algebraically until you get 0, and the related useful tip - that if a fraction =0, then the num=0)
@RhydianWatkins@mathsjem I'm not sure I'd keep using the squares as a method, because for large square factors it will be inefficient, so I'd probably use the squares more in my initial explanation.
Interested to know the preference between the left and the right for introducing simplifying surds. Both in @mathsjem 's book, but with some extra "diagramming" thrown in (poll in next tweet)
Looking forward to more mathematical discussions with @SparksMaths We're exploring Differentiation 3 October and Integration on 7 November. Both online 4-5:30. Details for Diff. here if you'd like to join us https://t.co/A76M5nMmDD
Y13FM and I really enjoyed this FM rich task from
@Integral_Maths
(its in the Matrices & Inverses section) and
@therispguy
last week. Great matrices recap and interesting result in Part 3, and algebraic neatness when justifying - lovely!
