Mrs Pope

Onto my ninth year of trying to figure out this teaching thing... Views are my own. Maths Teacher and GCSE Examiner.

That said if anyone knows of any education based jobs (that aren’t as a classroom teacher) going available, I’d be extremely grateful if you could send them my way.

Roll on 2026 🥴

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

I’m baaacccckkkk

2025 has been horrific!!!!

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

Soon to be divorced, moved back from Cyprus 3 weeks ago, started a new job in a school, immediately hated it so handed in my resignation yesterday and don’t have a job to go to.

And yet I’m weirdly not panicking! 😬

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

@TWimpeySupport I am trying to fill in your call back form for the Burdon fields development but it won’t submit. I’ve tried on several devices.

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

@HalifaxBank I live in Cyprus so this isn’t possible

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

@HalifaxBank I’m currently switching my daughter’s junior ISA to another bank.
I need to check the address registered with the account. Have you got a number I can call?

Thanks

Before you blindly rearrange, factorise then solve, it might be better to slow down and ask yourself:

"What do you notice?"

Perks of military housing 🥴

The first picture is of it ‘deep cleaned’ apparently 🤮

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

Happy with those results! 😀

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

Totally agree with this.

Trying to explain to bottom set kids they have a GCSE in maths if they get a 1 is quite difficult. All because of the ‘magical grade 4’ that makes others think anything less is inadequate.

[Amy Forrester @amymayforrester]

If there’s one plea I could make ahead of GCSE results day tomorrow, it’s in the way the media and other commentators talk about GCSE grades.
Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.

Every year we send out 5000 posters to UK schools, but we're not sure they all get opened. If you throw it away, you might be depriving your students of a lot of fun, so If you get an A4 envelope that looks like this, maybe at least open it and take a look, pretty please?

GCSE Maths (9-1) grade boundaries 2017-2024 for the English exam boards

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

Patiently waiting for someone to send out the results 😬🙈

[Jo Morgan @mathsjem]

New! A post that summarises some of the developments, trends and resources for maths teachers from the past year.

Kind of like a mega-gems-catch-up post to make sure everyone is up-to-date. 💎

This was one of my students who had self taught himself further maths a-level. I had to fight for him to be entered with our candidates and he came out with an A* 🥹 unbelievably proud and grateful to have played a part in his maths journey.

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

A really decent beginners app for learning Greek?

I’ve downloaded duolingo but was wondering if any others were more effective?

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

This year was my first year 13 class (who I had from beginning of year 12) and they smashed it out of the park!

Ironically it’s likely my last year 13 class as I won’t be returning to a school environment but definitely gives me some confidence to keep a level on when I tutor.

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

@KerryDunton Thanks lovely ☺️

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

Anyone got a comparison to previous grade boundaries from Pearson?

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

@JeromeFoley9 Much appreciated ☺️

[Mrs Pope @popemaths]

@MrsDMaths You will have the best time!!!
