@PearsonEdexcel My dept can't access examwizard for Maths at the moment. Are you able to help us? Thank you

@EmporiumMaths @ChrisFMaths @PearsonEdexcel Not working for me. Nothing showing for Maths @EmporiumMaths

Received an email inviting our school to take part in an Int Maths Olympiad Challenge, for an online simulated maths challenge, May 28-29. I don't think it's linked to the IMO I already know. Does anyone know if it's OK or suspicious? @UKMathsTrust @Whitehughes @DrFrostMaths

@RobHopkinMaths @El_Timbre @ChrisFMaths @DrStoneMaths @naveenfrizvi @danicquinn AMSP have great further Maths videos, links to their YouTube on their website, meant for students and I always recommend them. Must admit that I've used them myself before teaching too.. ..

@MissJHE_ @Just_Maths @missradders @MissBowkett @mathsmrgordon @Arithmaticks Not pep talk but if it's calc paper, make them all put cos 30 or similar into calc to check they're all in degrees.

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@UKMathsTrust can they use translation dictionaries in the challenge? - students are sitting it now...

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@robotmaths @Whitehughes @MathsNot @edsouthall Yes it is... Thanks for your help, it gives me somewhere to start my investigations

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

Can anyone help with legal requirements of maths provision &/or point me towards official docs (or retweet). Yr 11 student, passed gcse end of yr10. Does she still have to study maths in yr 11, any minimum hrs per week etc. TIA @Whitehughes @MathsNot @robotmaths @edsouthall

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@robotmaths @Whitehughes @MathsNot @edsouthall That's interesting, thank you. Any idea where that it written officially so I can show it to the powers?

@karenkaz79 @Whitehughes @TLMaths I needed a lift problems worksheet and downloaded something from TES last year. I’ve just looked and it was from Maths Shop, called ‘mechanics lift (elevator) problems‘. It was a paid for one, I think £2, and was perfect for me at the time. Might be useful?

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@Whitehughes M&S or Boots, but seeing all the comments about Snag I might try those next.

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@EmporiumMaths @TLMaths @Whitehughes @cafemaths @MathsNot @EmporiumMaths Please can you let me know where these topic tests are on the emporium? Thank you!

@eymaths I second Dr Frost maths. I've used the PowerPoint as the start for all my a level classes, making changes each year to fit my teaching. They've been a great help. Resourcaholic website too.

@missdcox Usually more work piled on

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@GemmaHeald @missradders @Arithmaticks @giftedHKO @OCR_Maths Do they get the mark if they wrote the formula first? I think Edexcel would allow this with a minor error for M, if formula quoted first

@RalfLittle Smishing. Learnt this week that's the name for text scams. Can't help but say it in a South African accent though, super smishing great

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@DrFrostMaths Fantastic!

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@tm_maths @MrsDMaths Yes, normally just the result of each pass. I guess the exam could ask for more detail for a single pass. I think it's more common to be asked how many comparisons they made in a pass, without the need to show the comparisons.

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@karenshancock @tm_maths Hi, Which is the fully wrong example? I'm hoping I've spotted it..... but I can't think of it now so am a bit worried.

[TeachingMaths @mathsandmaths]

@MathsNot Reading this as I woke up, open mouthed in shock and panic. 😂😂 Am definitely awake now!
