I have a confession … I’ve never been to a TeachMeet. Is that wrong? Oh ok … actually I’ve been to one but spent the whole time chatting to an old friend in the corridor catching up! Oops! However I am about to put that right on the 14th September where not only will I … Read more
This time I’m “grrr’ing” (it IS now a word!) with laughter. Last night the JustMaths team met up to finalise some things for the launch of the Super60 next weekend and the boys thought it would be funny to write this post …. yes, I was there but thought they were busy doing “proper” work. … Read more
UPDATE: COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED! We have been overwhelmed with the response and thank you to everyone that emailed/tweeted/commented or liked our Facebook page. Humbled doesn’t even come close! It’s Friday night and the JustMaths team are sat in a pub for our regular meeting (drinking diet coke and orange juices – not in the … Read more
Note that any of the below data is still provisional! It’s really important in my mind to understand the numbers involved from this Summer exam for the grading of next Summers GCSE. Partly to be able to hold Ofqual to account but also for me to have a firm grip of how the awarding works … Read more

I’ve put together the usual results plus QLA (question level analysis) sheets for the Edexcel 1MA01 June 2016 papers. As usual I have also attached instructions for how to get your download data into them and produce sheets for each student. There are two versions one where you can just produce sheets for specific students … Read more
I started writing this late last night but never posted it so I’ve come back to it this afternoon having been into school and seen the students open their results (and no I didn’t cry this year!) so please forgive the way my tenses change throughout the post. Once again, I’m unable to sleep but … Read more
Before I start I must give my thanks to the OCR Maths team for pointing me in the direction of some useful information about the changes to what you and I will know as “re-marks”. They also have a really useful post which you can find here -> OCR Blog. You know how I think … Read more
So it’s Sunday morning and I’ve had a lie in but it appears that my god-kids have been up doing some maths this morning. My god-son Vinnie was up at 8 am and his sister Madison ploughed in after breakfast and there was some much-needed golden silence in their household – I know because I’ve … Read more
