Just a quick post … OK … I’m sat shaking my head as I know that it’s just not going to be the case … So this evening I thought I had better do some “actual” lesson planning and so I jumped onto the Edexcel emporium – there are other exam boards available and I … Read more
Once again I’ve put together some templates for you to import your ResultsPlus data into if your students did the Edexcel 1MA0 series in June. It makes it easy to produce each students question level analysis on one sheet (rather than the, what seems like 100’s from the ResultsPlus service online!) for each student. Here … Read more
I’ve been working through the papers from all the exam boards – I find it easier to use worked solutions rather than a mark scheme so thought I’d share. I have also split the big SAM document into separate documents if you prefer them in that format. There is one spelling mistake … on the pizza question … Read more
Looking at the SAM’s at the minute and it’s dawned on me that it’d be worth making it clear some of the following from Ofqual’ s document ( THIS DOC )that sets out amongst other things how awarding bodies must interpret the interpretation of subject content, how the tiering must work and also the use of … Read more
I am gutted that I can’t make the Maths Conference that is going on this weekend in London – I’ve been invited to another “thing” … don’t get too excited, it’s just I don’t know how much I can and can’t say about it yet but if I get the “green light” I will let … Read more

A few years ago our local authority subject specialist support ceased – my limited view of the regular Head of Maths meeting was based on attending one of them where one HOD sat marking papers for the entire time and as a mere “second in department” I felt that a couple of the people there … Read more
OK so it’s not mid-week yet but I have my last ever parish council meeting tomorrow (it’s the annual general meeting so not an “actual” meeting) and I will officially no longer be Councillor Muldowney having made the decision to not stand at the next election so won’t be around to do my usual midweek blog post. When … Read more
If you haven’t heard … where have you been!! … this weekend is the 3rd Maths Conference run by La Salle Education at Aston University and it is looking like it should be fun! Check it out -> here During the lunch break there is a “tweet up” where there is an opportunity to put some … Read more
Up front I’m not getting into a discussion about “gaming” because I genuinely don’t believe that looking at past papers and trying to pick out topics is anything that any student wouldn’t be doing themselves .. it is certainly what I would do if I was sitting an exam! The rationale is that I want … Read more
