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
There have been a couple of headlines recently that have caught my attention but I know regular readers (do I have regular readers? if so **waves hello**) will find the it as no surprise that I’d be interested. The BBC Education Page ran with “Exam changes risk problems for schools, say heads” and the online version of … Read more
I am ticking things off this list left, right and bloomin’ centre … I am a veritable list-ticking ninja this weekend! One of the things we’d usually do in gain time in the Summer term, is to check if the maths part of the school website needs updating ready for September (obviously we’re playing catch … Read more
I’m looking at getting my classroom displays sorted and I came across the PowerPoint put together with letters of the alphabet – each with maths words starting with each letter (not sure who put it together but its fab! so Thank You! and if it was you can you let me know so I can … Read more
Just a quickie … I’ve been putting together another “nitty gritty” worksheet this morning and have decided to put them all in one post rather than hidden in other posts where I’m waffling (don’t laugh at that point as if you know what I mean!). The idea behind these are that they focus on the basic numeracy … Read more
Last week I posted about the Ofqual survey and this evening I’ve spent some time completing it. I was going to critique each of the questions, but I’ll let you have a look yourself and I think I covered most of my issues with it in my previous post, so let me show you what is really … Read more
Let’s just say its been an “interesting” week and leave it at that – you can surmise all you want as to what that actually means, and depending on your general outlook and pre-disposition you will be thinking either (a) “oooh interesting is good and sounds exciting!” or (b) “interesting sounds like a cynical way of … Read more
This year will be the third year that the school at which we work, will be hosting PGCE students within the maths department. Believe it or not, a few years ago, we had to contact the local university several times in order to be considered … despite the fact that myself and Seager both did … Read more
Last year the school introduced a whole-school homework timetable – this meant that as a core subject we have to set homework every week. I’m not saying we didn’t set it regularly as that’s not the case – but I’m not convinced that setting homework for “homework’s sake” is the right way to go about … Read more
With the current pace of change, and the rumour mill constantly churning out information, we find ourselves having loads of “what if…” conversations, discussing what we will do if (or when) any of the proposals coming out of Whitehall actually come to fruition. So far, we have refrained from inventing bizarre and outrageous scenarios – to be … Read more
