@Ridermeister Yes please.

@tombennett71 I think their account has been hacked. I got this and it doesn’t feel like something she would send out.

This year I have printed some mathematical advent calendars. I have a limited number available (at a price to cover costs) if any of you would like to buy one? £8 including postage and a couple of extra little surprises.More details: https://t.co/Pa3liL9eBj

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

I am thinking of selling some of these at basically cost price plus postage…. Great for adding a bit of festive cheer to your classroom. Who would be interested?

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

So this year I have some printed maths advent calendars… each day has a QR code that will take you to a further maths question and an A-Level question to do (based on typical pure topics covered up to Christmas) as well as a L2 FM question.

@JoLocke1 @themathsbazaar @MrsDMaths @mathsjem If you want a bit of stretch and challenge too I have this card sort that also includes some non-standard ones such as an ellipse. https://t.co/rHgTTneNKY

For this to work I need to be able to collect plenty of data. Who is up for this? If you want to send data please DM for an email to send it to. Please share this far and wide.

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

So I don’t often post on here much anymore but I need to reach a wide audience for this one.
Inspired by the great previous work of @KerryDunton and because @themathsbazaar is only looking at progression to Edexcel A-Level maths I’d like to produce some

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

Transition matrices for the great @AQAMaths A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths. Ideally I need to collect anonymised A-Level grades and the associated GCSE Average Point Score and GCSE Maths grade (ideally an indication of which board for GCSE and if they also did Level 2FM)

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@themathsbazaar @KerryDunton Are you only doing Edexcel then @themathsbazaar ?

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@mathsjem So jealous!!

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@Tom_does_maths @BennettMaths @1stclassmaths A-Level Maths and Further Maths? I may do it next year if enough people actually want them!

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@Tom_does_maths @BennettMaths @1stclassmaths Yes sadly they are AQA. Though I’m getting lots of requests to branch out into Edexcel too. Just need to spend some prep time getting my head round differences in question style and writing questions in advance - couldn’t manage both boards how I have been doing them..

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@BennettMaths @Tom_does_maths @1stclassmaths Thanks for mentioning me! I’ve been doing revision resources every exam season for a few years. Not promoted on X this year though much as I have pretty much moved over to Bluesky. Everything can be found for free here: https://t.co/pEWfltXVsu

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@mrmanps @themathsbazaar Cheers for the recommendation! My resources for this year are here: https://t.co/pEWfltXVsu

I much prefer “Practice Paper” too

[1st Class Maths @1stclassmaths]

If you're a teacher and you're creating resources for between maths exams can we please normalise the term "practice paper" rather than "predicted paper". I'm no longer going to retweet so called predicted papers.

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@Miss_Mathsgeek Would be happy to welcome you. We have just started A-Level statistics this year.

[Tom Bennison @DrBennison]

@Exampro hi, your update work last night appears to have broken Exampro. I can’t view any questions and what is even worse is that I can’t contact support as apparently the server can’t be found. When will this be fixed please?
